I've had interesting discussions on gender with a handful of folks, both cis and trans...
Gender definitely doesn't reside in the body; the body is a way of expressing gender(s) (I'm definitely in favor of non-polar non-binary continua with more than one axis, sory if that seems redundant as this is pre-coffee for me); if, as you say, we are incarnated multiple times with different genitals, then gender is not a part of the *core* identity - I'm curious as to whether you have any theories on where gendering does reside?
(And, yes, I'm one of those folks who refuses to fit in the neat little pink&blue boxes... I get mistaken for male intermittently and am amunsed every time.)
