Gender identity disorder

[merlin4926]

does anyone have any knowledge or experience of people with BPD who have also been diagnosed with gender identity disorder?

Information? Unfortunately, no. But my uBPD ex gf mentioned not feeling like she really had a gender. Black t shirts and jeans were pretty much all she wore. Carhardt jacket in the winter. No dresses, no "girly" clothes. No color, ever. Little makeup, short hair. Ironically, she appeared to be extremely feminine in body and face, and she posted plenty of pictures on Facebook that made her look like a model, sans makeup and sexy clothing. Think of a more feminine, more girly (in face and body) Annie Lennox or Patty Smith. A real pixie.

She used to talk about being gender queer, but I think she did not really identify herself as male or female. She was, however, only attracted to men.

This is an interesting topic to me, because I had never met anyone that claimed to sometimes feel "gender queer."
