all my alters were gender female even the animalistic ones. I once asked my therapist the what if I had an alter that had no gender and she had a great answer for that one.. if there is no gender then how is that alter going to use the restroom. then she told me regardless of whether an alter had a gender or not their "assigned" gender would be that of the physical body. example I am female physical body so if any alters told us they had no gender to consider that alter female. I also considered the fact that there was no such thing back when I was a child as the gender standards (trans, gender neutral, cis, f2m, m2f and so forth) even toys and movies, books had genders you knew that dool was a girl because of barbies long hair and you knew ken was a boy because of his hair and clothing, my point back in the days when I was being abused and my alters were being created everything was gendered for a boy or a girl so its pretty normal to me that I didnt have any genderless alters. thats not saying I didnt have any genital less alters. I did have an alter named Barbie and she didnt have what girls have but her gender was still female because back then everything was boy or girls. Barbie didnt need genitals because she didnt eat anything or drink anything and she didnt get sexually abused. she held other types of abuse memories and emotions for me.
