Do you feel that your identity is connected to your gender?
Do you feel gender plays a large part in constructing most people's self identities?
Do you feel that alternative gendered people are more sensitive about gender when it comes to determining their self identity?
Which comes first: Gender or Identity?
Does language have a hand in altering gender driven identity? (For instance, in Polish there is a word for 'gender' but no word for 'sex' in the sense of male/female.)
What does it mean to not have a gender and does having no gender alter or influence self identity?

I can be very femmy and my parts are all VERY femmy and to hard to hide but personally i still feel as if I am "genderless" my parts don't define the way I think PERSAY but it's all very much a philosophical state, I embrace my femininity wholeheartedly

To some, depends on the individual

I don't think "sensitive" is so much the word as much as "aware" someone who has never felt the need to question their gender isn't going to go through the research or spend the time thinking about it. Some may DEVELOP a sensitivity depending on their confidence or experiences.

Identity!

I feel like I am not worldly enough in other languages to really answer this question properly

I personally don't really "SEE" gender I guess is a way you could put it, much in the way I don't really "see" race, age, monetary background. To me it's like here, I have no idea if your girl/boy/something else, old/young, where you are what you look like, all I have to go off of it what you say and your avi's style. What you CHOOSE to express yourself as. That's far more accurate than any physical base judgment. So I guess you could say I just don't really "pay attention" or "acknowledge" gender and that's why on a philosophical level I say I am genderless, but I do looking like a pretty girl even though I hardly behave as one XP
