I try hard not to imagine anyone as far as gender too much. I have learned over time that my "reading" perception of a person will not always match the physical person, and then when I do see them in person, I have to make a big adjustment. Sometimes the same thing can happen over the phone. I do however try to imagine their overall personality. I struggle sometimes with wondering what the perception others have of me. I come here most often in a somewhat serious mode, as this is a primary place for me for deep thought and reflection on myself and the general subject of gender variance. IRL, I am far more easy going. I wonder if people think of me as some real serious uptight person when I most often am not.
