A friend of mine recently surprised me with the news that he was what’s known as trans-gender. I don’t know if he exactly considers himself a woman in a man’s body, but it’s in that neighborhood. At the very least he is a male with rather strong female sensibilities. If you were to meet him, unless you were especially sensitive to such things (which I am not), I’m pretty sure you’d consider him just a regular guy, though smart, insightful, visionary even, and kind. At least that’s how I think of him, in addition to being one of the strongest leaders I know. Anyway, I shared this news with my bride, who smiled at me and said, “A man after your own heart. Who the heck knows what you are?”
I considered it a lovely compliment.

Great post! We talk about left brain/right brain; now your head brain and heart brain; each with a male/female emphasis. Last I checked - we all have them all. I joke that if you use only one side of your brain you are a "half wit". I'll have to come up with something for the two brains.
Anyway, over the last couple of years I have read every Brian Weiss book on past lives and had several regression sessions, some facilitated and some self guided. A couple of times I have been a female and my guess is that we all have been the opposite gender in one lifetime or another. So I'll wager that the answer is our souls are both regardless of what gender we were manifested in this time around.
