That's "Cougar" For Short
I got into an interesting conversation last night, so I pass it on to you. How do YOU feel about gender? Do you strive for something in your personal/public gender (or sexual) identity? For a long time now, I've striven for androgyny. Not so much as an identity as a lack-of-caring-about-gender. I have always kind of assumed everyone can tell who and what I am just by seeing/making contact with me (online or off), but I guess a part of me has gone out of my way not to state my gender, letting people draw their own conclusions (which once resulted in a fun story that I won't tell because it's kind of embarrassing to a friend of mine).
If you could change the gender or sexual characteristics (primary or secondary) you were born with, what would you change? For myself, I guess it's the costumer inside me talking, but I've always felt it's easier to add things than to hide them. If I had masculine characteristics and I wanted to appear feminine for a while, it would mostly be a case of adding padding and the like here and there to "build up" to a feminine figure, but there would also be a few cases where I'd have to conceal or outright remove parts of myself if I wanted to make it very convincing. Same in the inverse; I'd have to remove/conceal much of my feminine figure to appear male except for a few areas which would only require adding a little padding to make it believable. So for me, I'd like to have neither. I'd like to have every sexual characteristic removed so that I could fit into whatever category I wanted when I wanted to.
Ultimately, I believe we are all wisps of spirit/consciousness, and our physical bodies and its effects on our mind are only temperary. Sort of a physical package to contain the software. On the inside, I think we're all alike, male or female, both, neither, or other.
