Kasumi blinked as she tried to work that out.
Nabiki worked it out first. "You're saying that it's you, not him, taking the initiative. What's this about 'uncertain gender identity' though?"
Rei was completely calm and cool, as if she wasn't actually involved in any detail of this personally. "Ranma spent little time in the presence of girls or women up until very recently, and as such has little real experience with other than his father's explanations. You'll notice his repeated use of feminine-based insults towards Ranma to exhort his son to greater effort. The curse itself further destabilizes his situation, and he acts in a 'more macho' manner than he needs to due to the need to cover his insecurities."
Nabiki frowned. "That's interesting. Where did you get that?"
"I have been reading psychological texts and observing the situation," said Rei.
Kasumi opened and closed her mouth a few times, this conversation not going anywhere along the lines she had expected.
