So do you think you two could ever talk openly with each other? Or is it a "just work only" sort of friendship?

If he's a gay man who mocks non-masculine traits in another man, I somehow doubt he's at the forefront of self actualization. Just because G L B T are all grouped together doesn't remove the staggering differences between each one. There was an author on this site who expressed an incredible amount of hatred he'd received from gay men in his community (transman if I recall.) It's a social fallacy that being gay prevents a man from being masculine, macho, closed minded and all that. I mean, lots of straight men think women are sub-human, why wouldn't men who don't even want sex from a woman not have that perception?
I have a gay friend who had a queenish boyfriend for a while who was so frustrated with him expressing so many non-male behaviors. "If I wanted to be with a woman I wouldn't be gay."

This is a bit of a grim tangent though. I wish I had more to offer on the topic of androgyny but the concept of fluidly transferring from gender to gender is beyond me at present. I more feel an emptiness there than a switch.
