FWIW, there is some research support on the idea that gifted folks tend to be a bit more androgynous than the norm. I strongly suspect that it has to do with the tendency towards postformal reasoning.
For those who are uncomfortable with giftedness as one aspect of social and cultural identity, let me ask the same thing I ask psychologists to consider, at the end of
my dissertation. Is there any other aspect of identity which we would routinely suggest should be hidden, not just from others, but from the self? Do we think that's normally a good thing for psychological health, to not know oneself fully and/or to constantly have to hide from others? Does that whole closeted thing work well for any other group of people?
