Well, I am aware of it, but that wasn't really my point. My point was, it has little relevance in my life. How would my relation to other people change if they (and myself) perceived me as a female? My behavior would be different, somewhat, but not all that different, I imagine.

So. Any pertinent change in that relationship? Pertinent to my question, I mean.
