    3.) I think the idea of "feeling" a gender is bizarre and difficult to understand. it definitely qualifies as being difficult to describe with standard vocabulary.

Do you know of anyone in philosophy who does "queer epistemology" or "phenomenological epistemology"? I've been fascinated by how one discovers and identifies one's "correct" (for lack of a better word) gender and orientation. I think if it could become a respectable aspect of philosophy and psychology, it could have implications even for cisgender and heterosexual people.
