Sometimes when I puzzle over my own trans feelings and whether *nature* is by definition supposed to be gender polarized M/F (in which case I'm off on some kind of tangent :) ), or whether there is a range and variety to human beings (gender-wise) that happens constantly in nature...
I remember a guy from my college days (I didn't know him, just saw him a few times playing sports etc) that had *one* full sized breast (at least a C). The other was normal. Someone who knew him better told me he was always like that after puberty.
If this can happen in biology, then it can happen in the brain and in psychology as I see it. I find this comforting from time to time.
I observe that when I was in school through the years that I thought it was pretty obvious that people are a spectrum,... seems like when we all had to get jobs and join the real world that people conformed to more rigid outward parameters.
Anybody know of other human examples that contain some other kind of gender ambiguity ?
