These topics should be given pages of their own, and passing, for instance, must be considered in instances where the authors do it, as well as characters within stories. See initials and pseudonyms. --Ide Cyan 04:19, 28 April 2006 (PDT)


Yeah they're each separate phenomena that deserve their own bibliographies & discussions. There's an element of commonality to each of them in SF, though; the authors use them to explore the characters' inhabiting the "other" gender. Multiple "souls" or psychic presences in the same body (usually differently-gendered) presents the same issue but I couldn't figure out a quick way to summarize that. (Includes, for instance, Tanya Huff; Lynn Flewelling; Robert Heinlein.) Maybe what needs to happen is one pithy title to capture the "gendered other body experiences" and each of those can e sub-categories. Some or perhaps all would also be representative of other phenomena as well. LQ 04:30, 28 April 2006 (PDT)


Initials, pseudonyms, and anonymity. I would call that a type of authorial passing; but different from the phenomena of 'passing women' LQ 04:32, 28 April 2006 (PDT)
