Interesting reading.
I don't know if there are any people that identify as androgyne for fear of transitioning. I don't doubt that some people are undecided about their gender and find androgyne a convenient rest stop. I have used the term MTF in a similar way - I found it much easier to say I was a transexual than to recognise that I actually was an androgyne. I was not a man and so it was very easy to assume I was a woman. I should add that we also transition, e.g. people like andra who are on hormone therapy and have surgery to correct their 'birth defect'.
I find it interesting that there is a suggestion that it is an easy path. I suppose our jokeing around masks a lot of pain. Where I am concerned I suffer quite badly, to the point where I feel like I am dieing - both from social preasure and internal body dysphoria.
Perhaps Androgyne is a convenient label but it is not something that is particularly easy to be if you are one. There are times when I envy the transexuals for their clear destination. You have the rules to follow, a defined path, a place to potentially fit into. That would be good to have.
Androgyne as an expresion could mean many things. If you know what that is please let me know because myself as an Androgyne have no idea how to express myself recognisably as one.
I would really like to thank those that see the truth in the matter - that identity is a personal thing and as such is as valid as anything.
My phase has lasted 32 years. When will it end?
