Counter-rant - "gender" is a grammatical term.
Am I Male or Female, ...
I can't answer from this distance. But there are some simple observations that you can make yourself if you want to know the answer
..., or am I Masculine or Feminine?
That looks wrong. I think it should be:
    Is "I" masculine or feminine?

And the answer is simple. "I" is both masculine and feminine. The word can be use for both gender cases.
Sorry to be a pedantic. But then this whole thread is about being pedantic.
