1) Aye. 2) A followup that ran through my mind while the posting script was running, was "can there ever be said to be no audience / does oneself always count as audience as well as performer?" Your point that most people perform gender at least partly for themselves definitely tips things to the "self counts as audience" side there. Useful point, that -- thanks. 3) Works for me. 4) Nobody mentioned having been confused (yet); it was merely hypothesized (asserted?) that such people would likely exist ... which made enough sense to me that I lazily accepted it without waiting for confirmation ...
