Would mentioning "androgynous" in any context do any bad in the long run though?
As much as I hate opening up to Psychologists, etc., I know I have to, to get anywhere.
So if I'm being me and they say "androgynous"... Uh.
Just saw Annwayn's thread too, all I wanna do is go to sleep, but my Mind's on Overdrive.
If I do research on this... Oh, buggar, mental block!
Yes, scratch the body, I'm a boy.
But... A boy can't be a boy on their own. There's always an essence of a girl in them. Is that it?
Noone can be a 100% their... What's the word... The gender they're born as?
Androgynous is usually about physical appearance.
Androgyne is about your gender.
I would not say it is bad, your shrink may not understand what it is though.
Most people think you are either boy or girl and no in between, some think there is a sliding scale.
Is there a bit of a girl in every boy, that is open to debate.
Some of the younger generation are crossing the lines though and blending everything together. Trying to sort between that and us could be difficult. I have been called a metrosexual on more than one occasion because of how open I am about gender and sex. I am not, but some of the thinking can be similar.
Thing is, how does a girl know she is a girl, same with a boy. You cannot look at how they think or act because that only shows personality or what people expect. It does not identify what you are.
If you think you are both, you probably are. You also could be more one than the other. If you believe in the sliding scale. You may be a boy with a bit of girl mixed in. I cannot tell you that, neither can a shrink, they can only guide you to making your own revelations about yourself.
