As someone who has already successfully hacked himself to become Agendered
I aspire to be genderless and try to identify as such. What is the extent of this mind hack? How did it work? What is it like throwing out the concept of gender? How did you do it? So many questions.
Tell me your secrets!

Theres something wrong here and I can't quite articulate it. I am confused.
Edit: for your question, I'll venture a guess that it's about throwing out mandatory dimorphism, not about the psychological part, which is doomed anyway and not worth talking about. Also, I don't think OP was trying to imply that postgenderism is about conformity.

I still use male pronouns simply because there is no gender-neutral pronoun in the language and I am physically male, and I don't think it's sane to include attachment(or unattachment) to a gender-pronoun in one's self-concept.

It wasn't something I did in an afternoon or anything, so I'm not sure I can give useful instructions or explanations...
It began as a quest to identify and purge all of my Cache...
Upon reading Eliezer's possible gender dystopias ([catgirls](http://lesswrong.com/lw/xt/interpersonal_entanglement/), and [verthandi](http://lesswrong.com/lw/xu/failed_utopia_42/) and the other LW comments and posts on the subject of future gender relations, I came to a rather different conclusion than the ones I've seen espoused here. After searching around the internet a bit, I discovered that my ideas tend to fall under the general category of "postgenderism", and I am wondering what my fellow LessWrongians think of it.
This can generally be broken down to the following claims:
EDIT- Due to some really insightful comments;
I replaced men being prone to aggression as a negative, with men being prone to suicide.
I made the verbiage a little more explicit that no one would be *forced* to change, but would seek out the changes that transhumanism would have available.
