Could you get straight for me what actually counts as gender...?

Let's say I was in a college club and the student council came up with the challenge of playing a female for a whole month, where I need to dress & demand from people that they use female pronouns when they speak to me.

From what I understand, i'd be labeled a female by gender, because everyone speaks to me as if I were a female, even if i'm just playing a role, I still consider myself female at that point in time, because I have to or want to.

Or would I actually still be considered male, because it's all an act...? & because my true gender identity still lies in being male, which deep within me is still what I belief, even though i'm at that time faking i'm female and doing my hardest to act like one...

I'd like people who still consider Mutsuki male, because of a lack of "concrete" info, to ask themselves this.

If the first one is chosen, then it means that gender is just an appearance. It's decided by what the person makes others belief & by the amount of people actually going along with it.

The second one means gender is psychologically ingrained in your own being. How you come over on others has nothing to do with it. You can act like the other gender, if you deep down know you aren't, then it doesn't count as being from the other gender.

So what is it, gender, a superficial outlook on the person or a more delicate personal knowledge that in some cases is disguised through a dubious appearance & way of behaving?

I'd personally rather see it as something more then 'appearance'.
