See... things are not as simple as you would have them fr0d0... sadly I cannot draw a picture without also painting a bulls eye... But at least understand that personalities are irrespective of sex (and even gender) altogether (as BDSM should easily help illustrate).
Ah right I see - it all becomes clear now.

It is not necessarily based on biological fact, either real or perceived, nor is it always based on sexual orientation. The gender identities one may choose from include: male, female, both, somewhere in between ("third gender"), or neither.[1][2][3]
Gender identity ties in greatly with what you are trying to say... but you should know that it is a type of self-identification... which is what one perceives their personality to be. Personality is the base of gender identity, and so i absolutely cannot comprehend how you are considering it to be the other way around.
There is no 'female trait', and there is no 'male trait'. Name a single one trait that is not shared by both sexes... and by this I mean any single personality that is reliant on wether a person is male, or female, or intersex, or anything else. More logical than that: name a single personality trait that is exclusive to a single gender identity (which is built atop self-personality to begin with).
No I think you're trying to confuse things here. I conceded already that the spectrum is not fixed but that a character defined feminine would have these traits. 'Most' females fall into the feminine fold, otherwise we couldn't call it feminine. I am certainly not arguing that all women have to be feminine and all men have to be masculine. I believe you introduced that. It isn't my interest here at all.
