In the last year or so, in my work with the LGBT organization at our local university, more and more people are complaining and fighting against the idea that you are either male or female (the gender binary). More and more of them are defining themselves as gender queer and presenting in a blend of masculine and feminine. Some of the transfolk do wish to change their gender, but it seems like a majority want to blend the gender attributes.
I'm just curious as to what your views are: Is gender binary? Do we limit people in their self-identity when we (or doctors/therapists) say that they need to pick a gender (or present as one or the other)? Is the idea of blending the genders something that is attractive to you, or something that is foreign?
