I'm not so certain about becoming a different person; it seems to me more a case of one's basic personality being modulated, sometimes profoundly, by hormonal and environmental circumstances. Having been brought up very much in the 'stiff upper lip' tradition, I used to be embarrassed by unpredictable surges of emotion amongst many other things. These emotional episodes have become more intense, how much as a result of low T and how much as a result of higher T I don't know. Although I think that I've become a more relaxed person and less inclined to fight against 'letting it all hang out', I still found myself struggling to hide my tears from the vet when we had to have our fifteen year old dog put down on Monday, although I have largely given up on worrying about hiding my breast development - which represents a major character shift for me. I know this sounds muddled, but while I continue to surprise myself on this journey, I am still me.

I also don't want kids and like cats and war documentaries lol.

Are you teasing me Sarah?
Maybe it's just me, but I think you're making us sound like a sort of pseudo online couple or something.
Yeah, I'm teasing you pretty much. The psuedo online couple is part of the humor, to me.
I think we've interacted enough for that to not creep you out I guess.
Sorry if it did, not at all serious.

I would think that GID is pretty close to someone being transgendered; they were born one sex, but feel as though they SHOULD be the other, as in, born in the wrong body.
I've never heard of DG, but I'd think it's someone that's just as comfy presenting as one sex as they are the other. They could present as a guy one day and present as a woman the next.
An Aphrodite is someone that is born with both sexual organs.

No problem! :-) But, you CAN learn without asking. I've learned a LOT of stuff over the years without having to ask. I'm just very observant.

What I find to be interesting though is my brother grew up in the same household and he turned out to be the typical male, unlike me. He has a wife and kid, likes sports, has grown a beard, doesn't care for animals and he enjoys spending time with the guys. I suppose this reinforces the idea of nature having a significant role in the development of one's gender identity.
In regards to your couple's joke, no it didn't creep me out. (I found it to be very amusing.) This is one of the reasons why I really enjoy having substantive conversations with you and others on this board. It allows us to learn and understand the kind of person others are, even though we haven't met in person.

In some cases, it may be more satisfying, and stay with you longer, if you find out for yourself rather than have someone else just dump the info you quest onto you. Also, looking things up yourself might allow you to find out more than the person that already seems to have the info you want. For instance, they might know all the ins & outs of how The Beatles recorded the "Revolver" album, but they might NOT know that there was a first pressing that was made by mistake and only a few copies were sold before it was recalled to re-press the correct version.
