Does this include people who change gender?

Probably. People who change gender are significantly outside the norm with respect to how their gender instincts are wired. This introduces similar other-mind modelling difficulties that those of the other sex have. Of course, most men don't fully understand men and most women don't fully understand women either so the question is mostly moot.
