I am a woman, but actually have fragmented recollection of being a male in a couple prior lifetimes.
One interesting thing about it for me, was remembering how it felt to be male. It feels different than being female.
It wasn't just that my thought processes were different. It's hard to explain. I'm going to think about how to describe it, because it's not easy. I'm not really sure that I'll be able to.

One other thing though, I also remember previous lifetimes where I was more feminine than I am now, as well. I was just really hyper-feminine and less in balance than I am now.

Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty and girlish now and considered a "girly girl" by most accounts, but I was way over the top previously. Interestingly, when I try to express my thoughts and opinions, I get accused of being masculine, especially when I'm sight unseen, in writing. It's very annoying.
