I would say in the case of those with D.I.D there is no choice of animal, or other body image..
for them to change sex would literally be the same as changing sex..
So it is the human in us that makes such choices, that wants to expand and experience the new.. which is what I feel is the most important and amazing thing about being human, being able to imagine the unimaginable, yet we are also always contained with that internal body image..
That part we have yet to be able to let go and evolve from, when we are able to do that, there is no limit to human imagination, and the separation of the mind from the body.

I'm sorry, forgive my ignorance, but I'm a bit confused as
to what exactly is an Intersexual.
Sumerian religion,Though most scriptures depict Anu as a male, many scholars believe he was also a female, or a hermaphrodite.
In a biological context, a hermaphrodite is an animal or plant that has both male and female reproductive organs

The way I look at it is this.
Say you have two poles: positive and negative, giving and receiving, active and passive, yin and yang, masculine and feminine.
I know both of these and I make use of them however they are appropriate at any given time. ...

I don't think it is all skin deep even if most of the issues can been seen skin deep.
In that view of where time is meaningless, events themselves don't dictate anything about being male or female.
If events are only considered forward, then people would think it is ordinary for the male to produce sperm that would then fertilize and egg in the female. If we look at this backwards, then it is the egg that produces the sperm which then swam to the male and back into the males organs and etc.

No, it's really not. When I say I can switch back and forth between them I mean something deep within my psychology. It changes the way I experience my entire being, even deeper than being able to switch back and forth between different emotions.
They do when coupled with my will. "External event" + my will = how I respond, and it is my choice.

To just simply toss out such discoveries as homosexuality has obviously led to devolution.

Intersexual? Hmm. Would I be having outercourse if I were to lay down with an intersexual? To answer your question though concerning the sphinx. I believe that love is something that can be shared with members of either sex. Maybe the sphinx is telling us that not only do we all speak different languages, different skin color, different features, have different experiences, live in different countries but we all are either male or female. Either male or female is unimportant as well as we are all human. We are one.
