A question. Are you able to see a man trapped in a womans body?
I find this interesting, because when people see a 'woman' they will assume that it is a woman. When it actually is a man. Often, non other but themselves will be able to see the man, because others will look at the surface, and be practically blind.
I know personality comes further down then sexual identity. And hence should be easier to spot. I would imagine it could be simplified like this- appearance(outside), sexual identity(inside), personality(in the middle). I expect disagreement toward this notion. But even if we say it is like this. It would not be easy/even possible to spot the next layers measurably, certainly not the layers further in. Because this is the essence what you are trying to do, right? See the inside(s), from the outside? And naturally, people will be skeptical. Although, not the same, but one can not, as far as I know, determine the blood type from the skin color.
Being truly curious may not be enough to make sense out of this. The burden of proof is not an easy obstacle to overcome in this matter.
I find it an interesting concept, It is that elusive link between the layers...that requires the leap of faith. But I may not have understood that correctly. I've seen some notions of this aspect attempted mended with the MRI research by Nardi etc.
And finally, what moral issues may be considered? if you have learned to see the inside workings of a person. If the inside is secret, do one have the right to probe? If my neighbor have locked the door, is it okay to pick-lock the door, to take a look around? The law have quite strong notions on this. Americans will shoot one on sight. Curiosity is one thing, but they also say that curiosity killed the cat. I guess what I am wondering, is how much of a weapon do you consider yourself to posses? I know those who have a Black belt in Karate, must show care not to get into a bar brawl. As their body will be considered a deadly weapon at court.
