Well said. And it brings up an interesting point; the 'feeling neutral about it' part.
I think that potentially, many of us don't: 'Feel neutral', about being male. Sure, we know we are. But that neutral feeling gets messed up somehow. So something in our heads tells us that no, that's not who we are. Even though all the evidence points in that direction. It's like driving on a two lane blacktop, where the center of the road is crowned. Driving in either lane, will make you need to ever so slightly continuously have to correct your direction, or you'll gradually swerve off the road. At least, that's what it's like for me. A very low intensity, feeling that being male is not what I am. Not neutral at all.
