On a side note, a lot of the time I wake up with the intention to be neither. I just want to be 'Sam'. That was the reason for cutting my hair and so on. My voice is naturally boy like (and when I'm ill I sound like a posh schoolboy apparently) and many of my clothes are not form-fitting, but that doesn't define my gender any more or less.
Which brings about the question 'is "male" a more neutral gender?' because if I had a higher voice and feminine curves with form-fitting tees and so on, I would instantly be seen as a girl, but as it is, in baggy clothes and a shorter haircut, the 'is that a boy or a girl?' situation happens more often.
I guess that's just more of the sexist mindset that we're all taught from a young age.
