Well, if you're looking for falsification to disprove the theory, look no further, because for my DD and I, it's definitely NOT related to shared gender.
DD's default emotional responses seem to be borrowed from her mom, so I'll leave that open to speculation, though.
No, I was more wondering if the
perception that such a thing represents enmeshment is related to me being the female parent, or the fact that DD and I are female.
I already knew that the hive mind thing wasn't gendered. My dad and I shared it, too.
