Why Are Androgynes of Such a Mild Temperament?

[Constance]

The secret is to shun breeders and their offspring.

And what should one do if one is a breeder with offspring?

You can hide under my rock, lost of room under there.

*giggle* Well you're just well and thoroughly screwed then, aren't you!

Though one would think that you have probably built up a resistance to things, whereas we who have not had the benefit of exposure are in dire, mortal danger!

The secret is to shun breeders and their offspring.

Don't touch your eyes or nose.

Wash your hands often, especially after being near people or touching anything another person has touched.

Cover your face with something if people try to breathe near you.  They don't like it, but them and their germs can go to hell for all I care.

Unfortunately my job has me in and out of offices touching other peoples keyboards and mice. I wash my hands a lot.

Shunning would be a bad idea, my work is based on referrals.
Besides, I would not mind being a breeder.

Breeding's not so bad as long as you don't get caught doing it.

I must confess that I would also like to be a breeder...but I will only produce wonderful, kind understanding offspring...because they'll be just like me.    Damn skippy.  hehe.

I once drank a fifth's worth of whiskey in hot totties (thank goodness I couldn't taste anything...ugh) and the next day I couldn't even tell I'd been sick.  It only worked the once, though.  I haven't been sick enough to not taste since then.  I guess that's a good thing though...

I want children.
And whisky.
And children bearing whisky.

My mate grace said I was the broodiest man she'd ever met, this was before we realised I wasn't a man o course.

Don't ask, don't tell?

As long as it's not children marinated in whisky. And please remember, the kind of whisky that's spelled without an e.

Although, come to think of it, one might try how much a toddy made of an Islay malt and hot water would differ from one made of Bourbon and Lapsang Souchong tea. Then again, why bother?

I can be pretty agressive at times, but at the same time i don't give a damn about alot of things. By the way, being adrogyne is about not being put in a gender box right? Then why trying to put a defination on androgynes personality, we're different people with all kinds of backgrounds. Seems like alot of you, are being a rebel against those categories , but still searching for one.

Hope you get what i mean?

Outside of falling off the loading dock onto my head and my recent operation, I've only logged two sick days in six and one-half years at UPS. I believe that record is due to eating a variety of fruits (including bananas, blueberries, and strawberries daily) and nuts each day. I enjoy sipping whisky and bourbon but for sore throats I keep a bottle of Italian grappa. The best comes from the little town of Chiaverano, but it isn't available here. I also enjoy an occasional glass of Cynar (from artichokes) before dinner, though appetite is not a family problem.

Our mild temperament should also benefit our health.

Be well,
Simone

Hi,

   We're not really trying to find a new box.  We're trying to figure out what we have that's common between us.  We know that not all androgynes are mild tempered in real life, but, at this site, we've a tendency to be mellow.
   
   
So far, I think some of the similarities are:

• Being mellow
• mild or off and on GID symptoms
• sense of humor
• discomfort in being addressed as our birth sex, but living with it.
• Female bodied tend to desire some male physicality or neutralization of secondary characteristics
• Male bodied tend to desire at least some physical female attributes.
• Discomfort in some social situations

nothing written in stone, I guess.

Wow Rebis! 22 pages into the off topic thread to end all off topic threads, and you've actually brought us back on topic! A true miracle 

That's a pretty good list. I'd add unwillingness to engage in conflict, thus seeming to be mellow about things when in fact we might feel quite passionate about wishing resolution.

[RebeccaFog]

right.  I was just tossing off some things from the top of my head.

[Jaycie]

Well,  just by that list it looks like i get to play the trendbreaker again.  ^_^

Newp   * Being mellow 

More than mild i'd say   * mild or off and on GID symptoms

A twisted one that most don't follow    * sense of humor

No need to 'live with it' when one can do something about it     * discomfort in being addressed as our birth sex, but living with it.

n/a    * Female bodied tend to desire some male physicality or neutralization of secondary characteristics
n/a    * Male bodied tend to desire at least some physical female attributes.

Not attributed to any 'gender issues' at least.    * Discomfort in some social situations

And i'm quite willing to engage in conflict when the situation warrants.  So really,  trying to come up with lists and new categorizations will only apply to the people answering in similar ways in that singular location. So rather than 'androgyne-identified people are typically X' it instead becomes 'some people posting in the androgyne section of the forum are X'. Trying to spread it to anything more than that runs into the same stereotypes that most can see are absolute trash.  ^^

I don't think we are rebels against gender, at least not willingly. Would you say that to an mtf or ftm? For them it is not really a choice, same here. I always tried to fit in, I was confused about why I did not fit in. It was not a matter of trying to bend the rules or be different, I was different and wanted to be normal.

We are not really trying to put ourselves in a box. We are just trying to find the commonalities and a better understanding of ourselves. Most of us have never really had anyone who understood us and now we have found others like ourselves we are exploring that. Most people experience this daily so it is not something they even take notice of, for us it is exciting and new.

I have to admit though, I would like to find some commonalities and figure out a better definition than those floating around the internet about us. I have yet to see a good one. Most are filled with generalizations that fit 90% of the population. Not necessarily a set of rules, but some sort of definition for outsiders to better grasp who and what we are. Does that put us in a box? No, we are still a very diverse group of people.

Quite.  One only needs to take a look at the site definitions to see the self-fulfilling prophecy here.

I agree.  I was just tired and not thinking too well.   <---- (see how I wormed myself out of a possible conflict? - I am the master wormer!)


seriously, I was just blathering.   

[Pica Pica]

well i like the idea of finding commonalities, even if we manufacture them a bit. I'm sodding fed up of not being a part of something, of drifting around alone without peers or connection. I for one would want to put myself in a box if it was a friendly box with nice people in it.

I'm not an androgyne because I am an bloody awkward sod who refuses to fit in, I am an androgyne because I am psychologically neither male or female.

(Edited to remove swearing. I was very upset about this.)

[Jaycie]

...I am an androgyne because I am psychologically neither male or female.

Isn't that all you need then?  In that sentance you've made a distinction that defines a group. There's no need ( imo ) to take the term and try to whittle it down in artificial ways that end up excluding people who feel similarly. If you must attempt such though you can always make up a brand new word for androgynes who are ______ , but trying to narrow down an identification by commonalities that aren't so common serves no real purpose other than to stroke egos.
