Like Helen W I had to think a bit about it. I kept flip floping from not shure to M2F a whole bunch of times. I lived most of my life as a male but leaning to female. I put M2F.

I choose M2F, because I feel like a woman all my life, every single day, no doubt about that at all and can't wait to start with transition.

My options was easy - a CD.

Everyone at my pink party thought I looked great in a dress. Whenever I wear my skirts everyone agrees I look natural - Something to do with my hips and legs. Sometimes it is nice being transgendered.

I put M2F because, although thank goodness my appearance never was completely male, I do have that pesky M on my ID card that needs to go away.  :D

On February 05, 2006 I said I was a CD, but now I believe that I'm MTF Transsexual.
As time goes by I'm starting to figure out what I'm really am.
But I do know I'm a woman inside.

I put down Intersex, but I am just a male on a different part of the spectrum...we are all Intersexed with millions of variables to attribute to that ( which is what builds the spectrum that is all but small!


Sara, with your chromosomes as you report them to be, yes you would technically also fit under Intersex ( I personally call what is currently considered a broad term of Intersexed "Ambiguous Biological Identities (ABI)"  I too have ABI traits, and also was assigned incorrectly at birth, so transitioned.... so I am a Intersexed Trans Male....bottom line I am a man, and you are a woman.

This of course is my opinion.

Peace,

I also identify as an androgyne.
We are not always considered to be transgender.
Many believe androgynes transcend gender entirely.

Okay, I have a question for the people who identify as androgyne.  I have read the article in our wiki but unfortunately I was not able to find a clear answer to my question.  Please forgive my ignorance on the subject, but I must admit that my knowledge about androgyny is very limited.


I'm pretty clear on the definition of what an androgyne person is; however there is something that I can't understand.  If being androgyne means to be mentally between male and female or entirely genderless, why is it that  androgyne people use female names as their own?  Honestly I have never heard of an androgyne person whose name is Michael, Peter, or James....why do the names they choose for themselves have to be female names?  Is it because they identify more with their female side? or perhaps I haven't  met an androgyne person with a male name yet...if you'd be so kind to explain, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks very much for answering my question. :)

Thank you for asking Tinkerbell!  :icon_biggrin:

I don't think of 'Emerald' as being a female name. 'Emerald' is a precious gemstone, a beautiful product of nature, neither male nor female, and the name of a gorgeous colour... To me, it's the most beautiful colour on Earth!

With permission I now speak of Elleane...
When Elleane first came to susans.org, ze* was seeking answers to hir* gender identity. Having been previously diagnosed as TS, ze knew in hir heart that it was a viable answer - but not the whole story. Elleane has since discovered there is a vast gender spectrum, not just an either/or in regard to gender. And much like me, the 50/50 area is where Elleane nearest fits. Elleane has no gender prejudices. In Elleane's own words, "I believe the best human characteristics are non-gender specific."

In real life, Elleane contentedly uses hir birth name. Many times Elleane has considered switching to hir 'male' birth name as a usernick here, but to avoid confusion it remains the same as upon hir first appearance on Chat.

In conclusion:
Androgynes tend to be gender blind, not gender biased... And infinitely respectful of others' own gender identity! I think most androgynes choose 'opposite' alternative nicknames to express their other-genderedness or to express their twinned male/female aspects. Others choose nicknames that have no gender at all.

* FYI -
HIR: (pronounced "here") Used in place of "him/her", a pronoun coined by trans activists to refer to individuals who identify as existing/presenting outside of a binary gender system and its rigid delineations of "male" and "female."

ZE: (pronounced "sea") Used in place of "she/he" as in the above.

I identify as genderqueer. But I'm seriously looking at what it means to be androgynous. I feel a post coming on. (As long as it's not a cold, right?)

I remember somebody who hasn't posted in a while that different names depending on the mood this person was in.  I believe the username was unicorn, who went by alex, lisette, unicorn or a combination of the 3.

Well, I believe unicorn still lurks from time to time, so um, ok.  Anyways, I don't think they changed where they fell on the transgender scale, but just changed what genders they felt from time to time.  Thinking about it, I'm noticing a lot of androgyns choose non-gendered names, such as emerald, unicorn and underground panther.

I chose F2M, but really I'm just a man with a female sex organ.

I choose MtF although I am "not sure" entirely since I have not seen a gender therapist yet.  I do feel like I'm a female trapped inside a man's body at times.  I do dress and sleep as a woman in my free time.  I do get mistaken as a female often when I go out.
