Following the note above**, I shall try to apply a little rigorous Circles analysis to the problem of gender orientation.*  This may be possible through a sequence of questions and answers, e.g.:

(1) Where is the individual statically?, e.g. by more-or-less permanent influences such as (possibly) birthdate, genetics, childhood upbringing, etc.. Since a less-than-permanent influence is dynamic, this merges into:

(2) Where is the individual dynamically, e.g. by his/her movement in the Circles?

From the answers to these two questions, other questions can be answered, for various time scales (or Circles), e.g.:

(a) Who is driving him.her?

(b) Who is drawing him/her?

(c) What are the Principles operating upon his/her movement and relationships?

These are basic questions applicable fairly widely in Circles Analysis (they may well be incomplete). The answers have to be applied to the particular problem: in this case, gender orientation.*

The following may be the implications of answers to the questions above:

(1) Long-term outlook

(2) Short-term outlook

(a) Motivation

(b) Targets or Goals

(c) Effect (or Means)

*[It's not absolutely clear that the term “gender orientation” is used here in exactly the same sense in which it is generally used at the time of writing this footnote. <20170804>]

**[[Redbook4:305][19880110:0130]{Confused}[10th January 1988],](p305)

***[The indentation in the ms here may be misleading: it is not clear that (a),(b) & (c) are a subset of (2).]
