The face blind person may have a core identity that some may consider out of the ordinary for his sex. Most common, particularly among straight face blind people, is that they may in some trait look less strictly male or female than others might like. Personal Identity Issues of sexuality which surround personal identity are very much the same as those which crop up concerning core identity, and need not be repeated. Personal identity can very much impact one's relationships with social groups. Such relationships will be discussed at length in the next chapter.
Many neurological conditions are much more prevalent in males than in females.
We have not noticed any appreciable imbalance between the sexes in our face blind support group, which leads us to suspect that face blindness is either not sex-linked at all, or if it is, the link is a weak one. Until researchers uncover a larger sample of face blind people to study, the actual ratio between the sexes will remain unknown. As one might expect, face blindness can impact it significantly. Some gay face blind people will deal with the undaunting task of recognizing people by dealing only with their own sex, and quite a few face blind people feel it is easier to be gay and face blind than straight and face blind. Some straight face blind people tend toward traits that are not strongly sex-linked in their own identity, or in who attracts them, or both.
