Ah - that's completely different to how I use the term gender!

So ... do I have a term for 'my internal feeling of what is my genotypic sex and/or my phenotypic sex'? I suppose I would probably describe that as my 'sex identification'?

I do not know my genotype sex, all my phenotype sex markers seem to give the same answer, but my sex identification is pretty much neutral. I don't have a strong internal feeling of being sexed.

By gender, I tend to mean, the internal feeling and external expression of characteristics other than body shape which relate to how people build up ideas on the femininity-masculinity continuum: emotions, behaviours, body covering and adornment, hobbies and interests etc.

(Then of course, there's the sexuality continum! I have quite a strong sex drive, that seems to mainly trigger from personality and intellectual characteristics ... ).

So I identify as trans/inter-gendered.
