Duality

Someone wrote…

My life has turned into a sociological experiment. Due to the need to hide my transgender nature five decades ago, I grew up and developed one public identity (male) while privately nurturing another (female).

Recently, I created and developed a public female identity that, online, has many friends. So, in essence, I now have dual public gender-identities. I post on my blog in both identities and have asked readers how they perceive me.

Interestingly, they see an individual — the same person. The only difference they note is the external cloaking of clothing.

What’s your experience?

And what are you thinking about gender right now?
