Androgyne and HRT

My endo has been very receptive to working with me to get the right E and spiro combination. Started on normal hrt dosage for mtf transition. Loved the emotional effects and loss of dysphoria but uncomfortable with rapid physical changes. Reduced the E and rate of change decreased. Then found my head was too fuzzy and found that I was not thinking as clearly as I like - almost fuzzy. Reduced the spiro and all good but slight hair growth of concern so flexed the dosage. Am now in a very good place but ironically wish to refine my neck due to some FFS scars/lumps which I wish to remove.
Am also contemplating removal of both breasts as they feel like an anomaly given I no longer feel the need to transition. Quite a journey so far but the low dose hrt has really given me control and comfort. It has worked for this MTA!

Just wanted to say I relate but in the other way. I started thinking I was really androgyne and that any thoughts about being male were because I was clearly female bodied. Now I wonder about all that. The more male I am going the more happy I am (mostly presentation and watching male mannerisms and so on). I have been thinking of low dose T. I haven't made any decisions. There are with all hormones both reversible and irreversible effects. You have to think how you would react if the things you don't like so well (and there will be those) are not reversible.

As do I.
There are others out there, for myself, also.
I know why some are gone, and I worry about them at times.
If things had only been more accepted in some situations...
Had they had been able to find or stay on their paths, they might still be around.
For some it was just time to move on to other forests.
Maybe they define that differently, I haven't asked, there hasn't been a need to.
For some, it was the difficulties in being able to express or explore their thoughts.
Some things have changed, while others are still in a process of sorts.
Maybe they'll be back, but I know why some may not.
Acceptance is a hard thing to come by, sometimes.
Accepting some things as they are, can also be difficult.
I try to keep an open mind about it all, as I hope others will too, it's difficult.
It's difficult to find the trust and comfort that one needs, at times.
Sometimes you just have to find that in other ways.
Being non-binary isn't as accepted in the Trans* world as much as we could be.
Sometimes we are blamed for others ill perceived inability to be accepted in the cis-binary world.
Others may not know or even care if we have a Chick-fil-a, or not.
The more we stay quiet and remain invisible to the world, the happier they seem to be.

I already feel like some change has happened within me - I'm able to open up more and be myself more where before I always repressed saying things or acting a certain way. Now I'm just being who I'm comfortable being (which is hard since I've been repressing things for so long I'm having to rediscover who I really am). I'm really getting excited now and less stressed because the time is coming that I'll be able to do something about this. I have an appointment with a therapist next weekend so I'll finally be able to talk these things through with a professional. Wish me luck and I'll post updates if anyone's interested!

Please keep us updated. I too am in a similar situation as you. 3 months ago i realized i was Androgyne and said " I dont want to dress, use makeup ect and now i do and like it. Now im also considering HRT. I had a temporary condition that caused me to make estrol and i felt the cool, calm, happy feelings along with a sense of relief, like i was were i should be and i relay liked it.
I dont want to close the libido dept either but then again having been on T i wouldn't mind not wrestling with my pillow all night
