Another online quiz
Jul. 25th, 2007 12:53 pmI'm actually fascinated by these men vs. women quizzes, mainly because I feel I am sort of a functional gender dysphoric. Basically, I identify as male, but I am very comfortable in my female body and have no desire to change it, and I also am sexually attracted to men but not women. So most people think I'm just a straight female who happens to be a tomboy, and I don't know how to really explain that being a "tomboy" just doesn't cover it. This topic has come up in several different places recently, mostly in my various poly mailing lists, but in personal conversations with friends too.

omnifariousposted a quiz that is more than just some random kid making OKCupid quizzes that deals with differences in gender identity and raises the subject of Asperger's Syndrom (which I only recently discovered and strongly identify with ... but I hear that self-diagnosed AS people get a lot of shit from true-diagnosted AS people, so I won't go so far as to claim that I actually have AS ... just that it seems to make sense to me).
One of the things I'd like to see is a study done on whether there is a corrolation between the Meyers-Briggs NT type and people with AS, as it seemed to me on the very cursory reading I've done that many of the traits of AS are the same as my personality type of INTJ. With MBTI, they are merely personality traits, but with AS, they are "symptoms" of a neurobiological disorder.
Fascinating.
