She is her own person, and it doesn't fit within the paradigms of what are now considered social "norms" (which is all fictional in my mind). I do know some people who hate to hear about sexuality, and yes, that includes gender identity and sexual preferences. It's not the basis of which they view all of life, but for some it is the basis for which to determine how we are treated and should be treated as people...

You do not have to apply any labels at all.

Accept her as she is, an elderly lady who has lots of guts and has lived her life her way.

Why analyse her, she is a product of her age.

Ask yourself why you feel you must delve into her background for answers, why not take her at face value.

I don't think she rolls her eyes at intimacy, she rolls her eyes at gratuitous exhibitionisms.
