I for one could easily get behind the term "re-balancing" for this effect. I think it is much more descriptive of the change than re-wiring which I never felt was right. I like the tires analogy.
I see it kind of like this. My psyche is packaged in a container (my gender definition in this case). If it is too narrow and restrictive, my psyche rebels and pushes back against the restriction(s) (e.g. boys aren't supposed to take other people's feelings into account). If the container's shape isn't the same as my psyche's, my psyche deforms and I feel pressure to behave in ways that don't fit the restriction(s) (e.g. cross-dressing, and such).
Yes, re-balancing works for me.
