This thread reminds me of a song by Blur.
Girls who are boys
Who like boys to be girls
Who do boys like they're girls
Who do girls like they're boys...
Cool song, that. First I heard it, coulda sworn it was from the 80s. They did that retro thing good.
You're probably thinking of the Pet Shop Boys remix.

Lola (Note: Approx. 4 minute video - Broadband recommended)
I met her in a club down in old soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like Coca-Cola
C-o-l-a cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said lola
L-o-l-a lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Well Im not the worlds most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Well Im not dumb but I cant understand
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man
Oh my lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Well we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said dear boy wont you come home with me
Well Im not the worlds most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes well I almost fell for my lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
I pushed her away
I walked to the door
I fell to the floor
I got down on my knees
Then I looked at her and she at me
Well thats the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
Its a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Well I left home just a week before
And Id never ever kissed a woman before
But lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said dear boy Im gonna make you a man
Well Im not the worlds most masculine man
But I know what I am and Im glad Im a man
And so is lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
<Pssst: LordE, men don't have cherries>
I thought we had metaphorical ones.
The doctor said I had anabolics. At least I think that's what she said.
....or was it hydraulics.
Something like that.

For some
serious gender confusion, check this out:
MY HUMPS! 
sick. I didn't even like the original one.
While we're taking a moment to soundtrack this discussion, I'll add that when I first read some of this thread an excellent Damien Rice song came into my head. I'll post the chorus:
"Woman Like A Man"
You wanna get boned
You wanna get stoned
You wanna get a room like no one else
You wanna be rich
You wanna be kitsch
You wanna be the bastard of yourself
You wanna get burned
You wanna get turned
You wanna get fucked inside out
You wanna be ruled
You wanna be fooled
You wanna be a woman like a man like a woman like a man
A woman like a man like a man like a woman like a man, you like a man.
(I'll get a cheaper ticket next time)
woman like a man woman like a man like a woman like a man woman like a man
(I'll get a cheaper ticket next time)
A woman like a man like a man like a woman like a man, woman like a man
(I'll get a cheaper ticket next time)
Woman like a man like a man like a woman like a man like a man
(Really wasn't worth the ride)
This song reminds me of a conversation I had with a male friend about dating (we're both in our 20's). He said women nowadays try too hard to be like men. We're too independent and outspoken. We don't know how to be vulnerable anymore. I'd disagreed because I don't think strength and independence are masculine qualities. Defining your sexuality can be very difficult at present because gender identity is increasingly fluid. I'd venture to say that sexual orientation is more than who you're attracted to; it's also who you allow yourself to be attracted to. Maybe it's always been that way, but it wasn't until recently that the discussion became so open.
I love the "my humps" guys!
Especially the one with the fake mustache.
Hilarious.
(Interesting post, Shazzer.)
