i've often thought i should've been a guy, and while i don't by any means consider myself transgendered, i think i'm definitely heavily skewed toward 'somewhere in between' more than i'm purely female (in much the same way that i'm heavily skewed toward being into men, but still consider women to be a viable option -- just not one i've had the opportunity to explore more than minimally as yet). but i think that's a lot more common than people really think. it's just that our society still doesn't really approve of that sort of thing, so people do their best to fit themselves into their assigned cubbyholes, and cut off any parts that don't fit.
a real shame, that. one hesitates to imagine the number of lives it's destroyed.
so, yet again, here's to you for being among the most out-there gender outlaws i've met. remind me to tell you sometime about Steve/Lynn, who used to show up at an open mic in SF in one or another persona as it suited him/her.
