Attaching the label “me” to the image I see in the mirror is essentially all I do when thinking of myself as my body. What are you doing apart from that?
I really don’t know. Perhaps my ability of introspection is inferior to yours.
What I was trying to get at with the balloon question is are you troubled by your body being gender A, or by it not being gender B? Is it an aversion, or a desire, or a restlessness, or what?
All three. It exists at every level of abstraction. If I try to ignore it, the aversions and restlessness do not go away.
