Oooh counter point!
I certainly think the view that the Fool actually changes genders is a very plausible one. (or that he's both, or neither!! Gah!!!)
I recall Fitz got quite worked up about it when he heard about 'Amber'.. and we could speculate on many possible reasons for his reaction.

There are many times when two or more identities are mentioned in the one sentence and that is because she is referring to two distinctly different characters, even if they are housed within the one 'body'. Say wha'?!
I'm not quite sure what you mean, could you give an example?
