What type of Androgyne are you?

[Kendall]

So what should that option be? I want to get it how you want.

[Doc]

I guess I might say chimera, since this excludes vampires and werewolves and zombies and Frankenstien's monster and doesn't necessarily imply non-human status.

Or I ought to accept 'intergender,'  as my label, though it doesn't seem to me any more accurate than FTM -- both seem good enough for government work, but not entirely true. Or I could just go with 'none of the above' and explain, as I doubt I'm going to get 'Chimerically gendered' entered into the common parlance of the trans community.

[Kendall]

Removed the last two options since no one voted in the last week since adding them.

[jonjon]

I chose Ambigender.

I feel more androgyne on the outside... as an image. But lately i have been experiencing some inner mental androgyne

[RebeccaFog]

I moved back to null gender from undecided.  I've spent some time just being me and I'm not seeing any real signs of either gender.

I'm glad I found this one, and hope no-one minds my posting here although it's been a long while since the last post. *Shovel, begins grave-digging*

When I came here, I wasn't very certain what I am - I mixed and matched titles, and for a while I had a rather lengthy description of what I am that seemed to change every other day.

After a while here, reading posts and thinking through my own identity, my concept of gender - or rather, it's importance to me - changed tremendously. Now, I have weeded out the words unnecessary to describing myself, and have found that many I tried on (female-male androgyn, bigender, gender fluid) do not fit because I was focusing on many smaller aspects of my being, things that change for everyone, rather than the big picture. Now, as I find that gender is less and less of an applicable concept for me, I'm comfortable using the two more simple terms neutrois or agender which seem to describe me best.
I'm certain this may well change again as I change and learn more, but for now this is the identity which fits best.

Night haven!  Congratulations - a 6-year necro!

This is a great topic though.  I had to think about the poll for a bit, and chose that I don't like labels.  If I was forced ti chose, or at least narrow it down, I would say bigendered genderfluid.

Woo hoo! *Begins to root through corpse for jewelry*

It really is. I hope more new folks find it and post.

I put other.  Closest match would be bigender, but I feel there is more than 2, so I guess polygender/trigender

Yeah, it's kind of hard to fill out All Of The Labels on a spectrum, but what's listed here at least hits most of the common ones.
I find I still end up swaying to male sometimes, but realize that's probably just from intense bouts of dysphoria rather than actual man-like attributes. I end up swinging so far away from anything Girl that Man seems much more applicable than it really is. Such is just another conundrum of gender.

[Night Haven]

Dysphoria and the increasing feeling of needing to transition has changed my view on hormones, but I don't think my gender will end up changing because of them. It turns out to be fairly rigid, but that doesn't sound like it's the case with you. I expect my presentation and expression will change more with HRT than my gender; perhaps you would have a similar experience? In some ways, I find the promise of transition liberating, though I know I might end up giving up some things as well, but it's what I need currently (and that "currently" is why I'm waiting for the moment to start with hormones) and transition is necessary for my personal health. I find it's come down to what I need more than what I just want. As my dysphoria increases, my willingness to go farther on T to get the preferred physical changes increases, regardless of what I'd rather not have but can still deal with.

It really can help to just find what helps you the most, then wait, observe, and reflect to make sure your decision is the best action to take. Some changes are reversible, others aren't; once you can figure out what you're willing to sacrifice for the things that you'll need the most, then the decision can get easier.

Hi,

66 years plus ,  an intersexed female.  different yet still female and some male to fill in where i missed out .

or in other words a missmatch, at least this way you dont need to try and prove what you are ,

And as our people  = Germany have got it right we will not be told what we are at birth if we are different ,

at last they are getting it right, after all this time, and hopefully other countys will follow and save  those new born and us all the hassles we should never have  had to go through,

wir k'o'nnen nun best'a'tigt und anders sein.  = we can be vindicated and be different

...noeleena...

I would say I am male through body, genderless through social role and female in my priorities and typical brain patterns.

Which would make me a very socially adept female had I been born that way, a fairly poor socially adept male...puts me neutois I decided...though the phrase neutrois is far too vanilla for what I feel.

Oh, so this was me five years ago.

Nowadays I ticked the ambigender/mix option rather than the neutrois/non option but I think this is more because I have met more neutrois people since the poll was posted. At the time I rather felt that being mixed and being none were pretty much the same idea from different angles, now I realise that neutrois people often have a driving wish to remove all notions and symbols of gender in themselves, whereas I just mix and match as amuses me.

I'd change that first line to; "I would say I am male through body, genderless through social role and comfortable in my priorities and typical brain patterns."

I just added pregender to ambigender, mixed gender...
After reading your response, Pregender seems more along those lines of allowing mixing in that no boundaries have been set.
I recall you posting info on Pregender, posted after this poll. And you even made a video comparing it to bigender.
Unless it falls under no-label, though I recall you mentioning the importance of labels for understanding.

[Pica Pica]

You have a very good memory.

[Kendall]

I added polygender and multigender to bigender. Bigender seems most common, though trigender (and more) I have seen elsewhere. Polygender seems to have emerged as a popular identity since back then.

Depends on if scooby snacks are involved.

There's no way to change my answer then, is there?

Could you point me to that post about Pregender? It sounds like an interesting read, and I haven't heard the term before.

I went in about the opposite direction. Had I found this when I first joined, I may well have ticked ambigender, but all that settled down into neutrois or agender when I started reading about others' thoughts and experiences and sorted through my own.

[insane_protagonist]

I really have no idea what mine is yet, but I chose "fluid" because I suspect that like everything else about me it's subject to change over time/mood/situation/what I ate for breakfast/etc.

Sure,
These are the posts I saw Pica Pica mention Pregender

Starting with Pica's video then other mentioning

Am I alone that having to choose makes me just as dysphoric as having to choose are you a man or a woman?

In some ways, gender fluid describes me, in other ways bigender describes me better. Non-op, no-hormone MtF transsexual, that chooses to present as an androgynous male could also describe me.

Pretty sure I'm not neutrois, at least.
