I for one like the term, and I enjoy discussing it because I can help people understand my perspective. Likewise, in trying to explain it to people who are not like myself, I can get a glimpse of what it's like to be them too.
Jennie actually made a very insightful comment with the "multilingual" theory. Generally speaking, I wake up each morning and I'm something. Be it male, female, neither, or some mixture of both, or some third gender. However, certain things can "pop" me out of that and trigger a shift. Sometimes I gradually shift over the course of the day.
@pamela7:
I'd be very interested in how I "come across" or "feel" to you. Am I a woman in a man's body? Am I a woman? Am I in a slow transition? Am I a man? Or do I feel like a woman trapped in a man's body? Or do none of these fit? Please, feel free to answer honestly, you've piqued my curiosity, and I promise to not be offended by your answer.
