Re: 100 Gender Identities?
1.
This appears to be more widespread than I'd thought so it's going on the list. It also applies to people who think they're drones and—I hadn't considered this—actual drones powered by artificial intelligence. (In reality if one were approaching you armed with a thermonuclear device its gender would be completely irrelevant so if gender is irrelevant in its quintessence it's irrelevant at all other times.)

No. The identities seem very precisely defined vide supra. Your abstract art comparison must only apply inside one's skin, where the world of somatic perceptions has become confused with Theory of Mind (probably like expressionism in the arts) and the skin no longer exists.
4."Cis" I gather means the rejection of fragmented gender identity. There may be people who refer to themselves as "cis" but that would not indicate a "gender" as such. God created two sexes and that's it. Sin has enabled hermaphrodites to come about but generally they don't call themselves anything, dress how they like and live lives outside the bubble. They have a society of some sort and meet up occasionally, once a year I think. Queers similarly just call themselves "queer" and although there is a genderqueer category, it's going to be fairly rigidly defined because it's not about the way someone behaves but rather what one thinks one is. Even though one is not. Behaving without bothering to identify seems to be called cassgender and already incorporates assgender.

I'd heard of "zhe" and "zir" (and presumably "ze" and "zim") so looked something up to find out and really wished I hadn't so this paragraph comes with a warning. At least we get an insight into the heathen mind and its workings without Christ. These genderidentitysignifiers are complex but in summary we have:do not click link if offended by utter codswallop
