Am I androgynous?

So I was wondering, if I'm androgynous. Biologically I'm female. I remember when I was little (around 7-11 years old) I liked wearing boy's clothes, hated pink frilly things, etc. I did like dolls for a period of time around 1st grade. Since then I've been kind of feminine, kind of masculine, but more on the feminine side. It's like I feel maybe around 70% female, 30% male.
But whenever there's someone saying they're an androgyne (am I even spelling it right? the spell check is saying it's wrong), they're either 50% male and 50% female, or they don't feel like they're one gender at all.
Do I fit into the androgyne category?
Thanks, and I hope you all have a lovely day! :)

All they are saying when they say 'I am an androgyne' is:

- I don't feel that I could call myself a male or a female

...everything other than that is just details and garnish.

I think Pica pretty much covers your question. All I can add is: simply read, simply learn and don't be afraid. There's not exactly a ruleset in the Andro sphere that's crafted in stone. It's about what you feel, not about what box you might fit. :)

Thanks Pica & no_id. I think I might be. But then I heard there was a difference between androgynous and being an androgyne, lol. I'm still learning :D

I am pretty sure that believe oneself to be androgyne is probably the most important deciding factor in the equation.
I live with an androgyne. (my wife  ;D ) Anyways...I am pretty sure only you can determine in the long run if you are one.
So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss.
If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose.
If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself.

If you feel that you might be an androgyne (in whatever form) - you are welcome here.

You'll find that the androgyne forum has a *lot* of different kind of people, from all walks of life.

Welcome, and beware of anyone bearing fruitcake :)

Are you sure androgynes are all 50/50 or nothing at all? It seems weird that one has to fall right in the middle or else - not androgyne.

I do not think we can describe a persons gender in pecentage points and even do justice to that person.
