Resilient Trees of Partial Truths

If a statement is True, such as I am WhiteMale, then the oppositional statement I am BlackFeMale is False which enjoys equivalent truth value with I am NotBlack/NotFemale, and I am WhiteMale back where we started, more obvious rather than less obscure. But, if a statement is Not(Not True) and NotFalse, could it also be Not(Not False)? Imagine, if you dare, you are a browngrey-scaled transgender person, vulnerable to many bipolar lack of boundary issues, with a troubling tendency to camouflage your ambiguous identity, rather like that damned cat in a box, half alive and yet also half dead. Being a wise politician, when you are with the White Republican Males, you send messages persuading them to see you as "I too am a WhiteMale" no awkward discussions needed, really. And, when you decide to go to the other side of your parallel tracks, hanging with the Black Democratic EcoFeminists, they invite you to now become one with their village "I am a Feminist of Full Rainbow/BrownGreyScale Color" Is it notnot true yet also notnot false that this White kinda conservative Male could also become a more liberated Black Democratic SheMale? And yet this seems like double-bound co-information not accessible from a unilateral, as contrasted with a bilateral, view of all accessible identities of this nomial statement as either not true or not false, such that our TransGender Person of PolyCulturing Intent and Capacity is also both not entirely truly alive and not entirely falsely dead, when reconsidered, bicamerally dipolar reconnected, sometimes more BothAnd full-color brown-octave recessive and sometimes less EitherOr greyscaled calculating dominant, and occasionally all the fractal-regenerative WinWin above.
