This week's prompt is #43 - Gender Bending
Gender bending can be described in many ways but those definitions all boil down to one basic thing - sending out mixed signals regarding one's gender. The more androgynous a person is, the harder it is to tell whether they are male or female.
Gender bending also refers to pushing the envelop regarding appearance and sexuality. It can include men wearing skirt's, women sporting masculine-looking tattoos or sporting a hairstyle that may traditionally be looked at as fit for the opposite sex.
Gender-benders can confuse as well as push personal comfort zones to the limit.
Does Yazoo's hair and feminine-like features cause him to be mistaken as a girl? Do the guys tease Cloud about his fashion sense by likening it to a half-skirt? Does Yuffie try to present as masculine wherever/whenever she can? Is Cid hiding a secret feminine identity? Is Genesis a male to female transgender person or vice versa?
You task this week is to push the envelope on gender, bending it a bit and coming out with only 100 words.
