Hi, I'm 23 and from England. I'm male, but I feel as if there is something more feminine in myself, so I hope this forum can help me begin to understand more about myself. Online, I like to use the name Alex (it's not my real first name).

I was born in 1986 and when I was born, they didn't know whether I was male or female due to my genitals being so small. I was born with something called Noonan's Syndrome, and this has affected my genitals and my heart. Basically, I cannot produce my own testosterone, so I need to take testosterone daily.

I'm fairly masculine looking, with an average male height and masculine facial features, although my finger size would indicate less masculinity. I do however, prefer to have medium length hair (say men's number 5 to 8 - my hair is a wonderful dark brown colour that I love, and which I like playing with). I'm rather small framed and although I have toned legs and some toned muscle elsewhere, I'm certainly not a big man.

Orientation wise, I'm either bicurious or bisexual. That being said, I don't have much of a sex drive and I'm quite the introvert so I'm still a "virgin" at 23. My sexual fantasies are very diverse, but often involve me being a woman, and I often prefer submissiveness in my sexual/masturbatory fantasies, even when I'm male in them - any fantasies I have of being dominant are almost always homosexual.

Biologically and socially, I am a man, although psychologically I feel as if I'm more of a mixture. I'm not the most masculine man ever, but I'm not very feminine either.

As for clothes, I prefer more gender neutral clothes like t-shirts, trainers and tracksuit bottoms. I hate wearing formal masculine clothing such as ties and suits, although this is because I dislike formal clothing in general, preferring more casual and more comfortable clothes.

I did the COGIATI test and got -75, and one of the main questions that stuck out was the one where you were in a situation where you could change between being male and being female at any time. Personally, I would love to be able to do that.

I'm confortable being who I am and being in the body I am (although I could be thinner), but I don't quite know what I am. I know people shouldn't rush to label themselves, but it's one thing I would love to understand more about myself.

So, opinions are welcome and very much appreciated.

I have no concrete idea of my gender identity, but I believe I am an Androgyne.

Welcome to Susan's !  :icon_flower:

Thank you for a detailed and honest introduction.  :icon_wink:

There are no simple answers here, but if you are open minded and are willing to read/participate, then you may find some clues.

Have fun... :)

Welcome, Alex.  This is a good place to explore.  There's huge variation here, so you may quite a few others like you.

I always felt I was both and neither but have finally given in to the predominate binary view of gender and am transitioning from unwillingly male to very happily female. :D 

I remember early in my coming-out trying to explain gender to some cis-gendered friends as a cloud or pond, with so many different points in it that it could hardly be described in three dimensions.  I finally gave up because they just weren't getting it.  But there are many of us here who understand it.

Look around.  You may find your niche here. :icon_wave:

Hi Alex (from another Brit)

My only advice is ignore the COGIATI and go with your heart and not with your head.
