Androgyne Board FAQs and Categorized Posts Version 2.5 as of Oct 31 2007

**I Retired this post. It used to be the most relevant guide that I know of, to the androgyne posts and issues at this site, as well as the rest of the internet. I no longer update the FAQ here, rather have combined it with other external sources, and placed it outside this forum.**

History and dates of the Section name Androgyne
Origin of picked name for Androgyne [originally to describe something else, though replaced genderqueer as a broad term] Section at Susan's [titled: Interdressing] [August 15, 2006] http://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,5578.0.html
Thank you for making a main Androgyne Category, [August 24, 2006] http://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,5730.0.html
Prior to this date the section was a child board of transgender called: Genderqueer
First Post ever of the original Genderqueer board section "We have our own forum!" [June 03, 2005] http://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,208.0.html

Quote

From Wikipedia:
An androgyne is a person who does not fit cleanly into the typical gender roles, behavior, or behavior of their society. Androgynes may identify as beyond gender, between genders, moving across genders, entirely genderless, or any or all of these. Androgyne identities include pangender ("all genders"), bigender, ambigender (mixed gendered, interdresser, androgynous) , neutrois (null-gendered, non-gendered, agender), third gender, gender fluid, or other. Androgyny can be either physical and/or psychological; it does not depend on birth sex and is not limited to intersex people.

An idividual may identify elsewhere on the traditional gender continuum, or exist outside of it. Bigender identify being along several places on either the traditional transgender continuum. There are more encompassing continuums which have been developed in response to the significantly more detailed studies done in recent years.

Purpose of this list
Dont know if I am totally bored, or just trying to make finding some good information easier and quicker. I had a little time and decided to make a categorized list of past posts from the androgyne section. I may sort of prioritize the posts or change the list a bit more.

This is meant to bring life into all the writings that have been made in this section that are still helpful. I felt that the current message board sort of hides the old messages and info, even though the information may still be useful, current, and something someone needs to know. This page sorta evens the playing field for even older important posts , and makes looking for them easier, based on what type of information is found within.

This also is meant for writers to see what has been written and to help them maybe write something new or write something different. Or tackles something just barely brushed on in prior posts.

And last, it sort of unifies the entire messageboard into a sort of almost magazine format where one could read the articles desired. All of the writers are blended together into one sorta logical book or magazine.

Tell me what you think. Send corrections, suggestions, and such to me PM or reply bellow.

Good list...

One friend of me asked am I male or female inside? That's a tricky question for me currently.
Currently I think I'm a cross dresser, but reading more and more on this site makes me wonder $:-\$ $:-\$

Thanks Dweia,

I added in some posts from the TG general, General discussion, and Polls. I have tabbed these and ** to show which one these are. I also moved around a few of the posts. Calling this Version 1.1 now to reflect the changes.

Wow, that's really great! I hadn't realized we'd covered so much as a group. I'm pretty sure I've said this before but we seem to be writing down a lot of what it means to be androgyne, and getting into nooks and crannies that we might not have even thought about on our own. If we're not careful Susan's will be the best place for information about androgynes, hands down. (Gee, we can stop if you'd like Susan. j/k) And this list makes one heck of an index. Great job!

Ken/Kendra · « **Reply #4 on:** June 29, 2007, 08:25:08 am »

Yep thanks Casey,
And especially thanks to everyone that has written an androgyne type topic. Starting them sometimes is hard but vital. And to everyone else that keeps them going by replying and adding additional thoughts and ideas.

The more I listed them, the more I realized also that we had covered much ground. I was surpised at some of the posts I unearthed. I knew though that we have a gold mine here that deserved its own display and voice in this format.

Having said that, you can also see there are areas still not listed or that deserve further elaboration and writing. But at least this will show whats already been posted on. Feel free to add even to the older posts even when you get the message that it is older than 30 days.

And by all means, if inspired to talk about something new, I will fit it into the index.

Thanks again everyone , and to you Casey that has written several of the posts and replies in the lists. And I just added your gender neutral pronoun to the list in its own subcategory since I believe it merits having its own.

v1.2 1/15/07 added the androgyne theory sections which divided from the basics. Also added the newer posts on personal grooming and any additional posts since last update.

I just added the material since jan 15 to now into the faq.

I added 2 new categories
Androgynous Clothing
and Androgyne: Discovery (I am transsexual not androgyne)

I felt these were important enough and that we had enough posts to merit their own categories.

Hope this continues to help others and provides as being a usefull tool.

Send more comments and suggestions also if you have any.
Just added 3 new major sections and added all the new material up to today.

Is there a way to get this post stickied so it shows up at the top of the Androgyne Talk forum? It's almost a year old, but invaluable, and I only tripped across it while searching for something... It really should be "kept in sight" for us newbs.

Stickied.

CryoMax · « **Reply #7 on:** August 27, 2008, 05:38:16 pm »

Woohoo! I helped!

Ken/Kendra · « **Reply #8 on:** August 28, 2008, 12:58:51 am »

If someone else wants to keep up and others want it stickied is fine with me. Just mention it and I will agree in writing to give you my written permission to modify it.

Nero has my permission.
