A New Introduction

Thanks so much for the warm welcome, everyone!

Have you researched/communicated with androgenous persons.?

Look up "androgenous" in Wikipedia.

You probably know exactly where you want to be on the male/female sliding scale, physically, mentally, emotionally, and fashionwise.

Because society forces certain expectations upon us simply because of the body composition we were given at birth, we are forced into a personal quandry.

If you lived alone on an island, and had access to free medication and surgical procedures and there was no one to see or judge you, who would you be, how would you act, dress.

If you don't know, then do some introspective analysis.

If it doesn't matter how you look or dress on the island, then why should it matter here.

If you do know how you would look, act, dress, etc . on that lonely island, then what is holding you back from living like that now? Judgement and opinion of others? If that's the problem then you have not an identity crisis, you have an acceptance crisis. If you just have to live your life so that others will accept you then you need to accept this and move on. If however you crave and need to live your life so that YOU accept you, then you need to be insensitive to what others think of you....a not so easy thing to do, but do-able; maybe not on your own, you may need support of others who have been through the same debacle as you are experiencing.

Yes, actually, I've had an interest in androgyny for a long time. Unfortunately, when I masculinized, I became a little too masculine to really look androgynous. I'm bald and have facial/body hair. These tend to mark me as male in almost all instances, even after the 2 1/2 years on estrogen.

I could go for body hair removal and wear some sort of a wig, but that's expensive. Laser hair removal is not really something I can afford presently and I can't imagine having to wear a wig or hat or scarf anytime I leave home.

I suppose I'm resigned to the fact that my androgyny is expressed by my personality and those who come to know me well will definitely pick up on it.

Thanks for your support!

Being the oldest sibling of the family I was absolutely never to be at all allowed to in any manner shape or form to be at all feminine nor even for many years to associate with girls. I was unable to compete with the boys although from time to time when picked on I did connect with a nasty hook or combination that laid them flat. They really did. One thing I do have is wide shoulders (along with a narrow waist). Anyway I was pretty much known through out my school life as a loner even though in real life I'm actually very sociable. Being that I am even chromosomally female I figure that I have every right to be female now. And so on the web I am generally female.

Hi and welcome back. I always enjoy the perspective of intersexed people, as I consider transsexuality to actually be an intersexed condition. Not to beat a dead horse here, but I have heard many intersexed people over the years say the same things as you. They are cool with being somewhere inbetween, but society with it's bi-gendered approach forces one to choose a gender, regardless of how they feel. Again, I look forward to your insights and posts.
