Hello all.

I've been thinking more about the extent brain rewiring has had on me. It's clear I think that since starting pm I have become a more affectionate person who has also developed various feminine interests. For example, for the first time ever, I sent Valentine Day cards to several of my female relatives. I've developed a newfound interest in Disney musicals (Yes Sarah, I can hear you giggling again about that one). I've bought several feminine posters to decorate my home. I recently purchased some artificial roses to adorn my kitchen table.

On the other hand, my beliefs concerning hot-button issues such as politics, religion, abortion, gun control, etc. have undergone relatively little change over the last few years. I think my second reply in the "got fired yesterday" thread illustrates my objective and perhaps aloof nature. It makes me wonder whether it's just a matter of compartmentalizing or that the brain rewiring is more likely to affect certain parts of the brain more than others? Or maybe it's that I could very well have identical beliefs on such issues even if I was a genetic female?

Your thoughts on this?

Great questions, Flame! I have wrestled with some similar ideas myself of late, honey. Since there obviously exist GG's that live on all sides of the second group of concerns you mentioned (politics, religion etc), is it not likely that these are front of the brain, logic or intellectual concerns, and unaffected objectively by gender, while the other concerns are more emotional by nature, and thus more likely to fall into more traditional compartments of male and female thinking? IDK, but that seems likely to me.
