A high level of gender friction has been described as: |
|||
* the feeling when an aircraft lands and/or takes off. |
|||
* two things that are stuck together being pulled apart (the individual from the original gender) with strands of glue still connecting it. |
|||
* the gender is reluctant to "let go" and "holds on tightly" for a moment before "releasing" (in this experience of gender friction, one might see this as a [[Genderspike|gender-spike]]). |
|||
* the gender resists changing, and this is felt in the form of friction/ragged edges. |
|||
* the new and old gender struggling for control. |
|||
* the unseating of a gender the individual has grown used to, by the new gender. |
|||
* a very fast, very raw, intense switching of genders. |
|||
A low level of gender friction indicates a smooth transition between genders, and can involve the following experiences/feelings: |
|||
* the old gender willingly relinquishing control for the new gender. |
|||
* not noticing a gender switch until it has already occurred. |
|||
* the melding of two genders, feeling indistinct from one another during the change, instead of at odds. |
|||
* genders being parallel as they move past each other. |
|||
* a quiet/soft/slow gender switch. |
