Prompt #62

No points were awarded last week.

This week's prompt is #62 - 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 Kougaiji's hair and feminine-like features cause him to be mistaken as a girl? Do the guys tease Sanzo about his fashion sense by likening it to a dress? Does Lirin try to present as masculine wherever/whenever she can?  Is Gojyo hiding a secret feminine identity? Is Hakkai a male to female tranny 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.
