Are you I or WE?

[Jocelyn Quivers]

There is only one. Niya she assimilated the male side .

Resistance is futile .

My male side is still resisting, my femme side is getting stronger and more powerful each day, while male side is getting weaker.

Most of us have the basis for multiple personalities in that we use different specialty aspects of ourselves to perform different functions or as the saying goes, we wear a lot of "hats". These exist as "modules" in the brain so that when we need to perform a certain task, we wheel into that particular module. We don't do everything all of the time but only when needed. The so called "femme self" is merely another "module" we call up when we need to want to access it. Usually we have total control of all of these functions. It's only when a person suffers from dissociative identity disorder(DID) that there is no control and the identity modules come up randomly due to some kind of previous stress or trauma to take control of a situation to protect the host.

Great so you are saying in addition to GID I have MPD ? That might explain why the shrink was smiling when she saw me coming..

[Alice B]

I am me and she is me.

[MsJanessa]

I--I'm not two people---just one--for me suggesting I am two would be too much like the main charater in Alfred Hitchcock's movie, Pyscho--which did us all a diservice.

[CLARRISA]

I have a definate 2 personalities and both are fighting to establish dominance and grow. My male side wants to be more masculine and more attractive to women..My femme side wants to be out and about more and risk discovery..I managed to stop for 2 months, but like allways, out of the blue wham she forces her way through.

[Lilith Moon]

There's only me in here. Always me.

[Tina B.]

No body home but little ol' me!
I use to feel like there was two of us, but no it was just me.
two sides of the same coin!
Tina B.

[Edyta_C]

I think Tina hit the nail on the head! I am both sides at once. sometimes one slightly more than the other. But neither side is wholly gone. I would guess if I was more TG than CD perhaps one side would be more domininant and take over. I don't feel as if I could suppress either part of me. Of course that's me.

Most of us are part of a continuum of gender feelings ranging from CD to those that truly are in a body not corresponding to their minds gender. So that's one of the great things about this forum, it allows one to see and understand where they are in that spectrum and accept it.

[jenalex]

Where are you with this question? Are you two persons or are you one complex individual with two expressions?

uni-gendered, bi-gendered, multi-gendered, flexi-gendered ...?

errmm

well, not bi-gendered anyway

[KeriB]

I am me.... both when presenting either male or female it's just me.

[victoriamwilliams1]

This is interesting as I thought about this several time about are we one person who when dressed becomes a softer version of ourselves but we are conscious that we are the same person just dressed differently. Whew

[sami1952]

When i am myself,that's who i am,but when janie comes out to play,i am janie 100 % and enjoy every minute of it.

[ReineD]

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together ... goo goo g'joob *

Sorry. I couldn't resist!

[Ashley_UT_CD]

I am male most of the time...unfortunately...I tend not to think about it too much though. I just try to be myself...until Ashley wants to get out at some unexpected moment (like the last few days), and then I have to talk to me GF because she's the only one who will refer to me as "she" in those situations...(though honestly there isn't much of a difference in personality...just more shy perhaps...)

[Bethany_Anne_Fae]

Thats a tough question from my standpoint. No easy answer to fill the spaces with. Both.

[jennylogan]

I think I am, therefore I am. I think. No confusion here, just regrets that my birth gender doesn't match what I see in the mirror when dressed. Some day it will and then I will be one. Until then I struggle with this like just about all of us girls do. One day at a time until the day it is my time to become a full time woman.

[Angie G]

I must be just one person my wife couldn't take 2 of me.
Angie

[Rachel Morley]

I do not think of myself as being two separate persons. I think that I am merely expressing in a very overt way my feminine aspect when I dress.

Me too! "Rachel" is not a separate part of me. It is me. I am the same person all the time it's just that sometimes my gender expression is so feminine that it's more appropriate to give me a femme name .... especially in public. When I talk to people, or write on forums, I don't like referring to my femme self in the third person, like I know some CDers do. My wife and I always say there is not a "third person" in our marriage just a girly guy whose presentation is rather "fluid"

[Fab Karen]

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together ...

Sorry. I couldn't resist!

You beat me to it.

My name isn't Sybil, only one me here.

[Claire3]

i,who just happens to wear differant clothes at varying times of the day/evening

[marie354]

I wondered about that for many years...
I think that I was just hiding behind the man...
Now I'm just me.

[gennee]

[SIZE="4"]There's a lot more to us than meets the eye. I have expressed myself in many ways during the course of the day. I maintain that we are a dichotomy of two (or more) people.
