On the contrary, in my work as a gender therapist I've met several, they're more common that one would imagine. And although most identify as one gender or the other there are some who are quite adamant they are "left out" of things by the absence of specifically third-gender (as opposed to gender-neutral) pronouns and titles and resent being forced to choose between the limited set we have, as neither reflect their reality. These are people who're physically intersex I'm talking about, not psychological conditions such as androgeny or transvestitism. Regards Baba
