Gender

[cjsmith]

Neither box, please.

Gender: n: the set of assumptions not actually determined by, but often associated with, the sex of the physical body.

To be *trans*gender, I'd have to be "gender" at all. No. I reject ALL the assumptions.

I most often percieve it to mean "The box I was assigned to doesn't fit, and I fit the other one much better." But maybe I'm jumping to conclusions there.

I like the "beyond" idea, in the sense of "outside of". If traditional-male-assumptions is THIS archipelago and traditional-female-assumptions is THAT archipelago, I live on the mainland. Or something.
