Title: Time for introduction, suppose...
Post by: The Man of Steel on March 16, 2010, 12:27:19 PM
Hello everyone!

My name is Heikki Puuperä, I am 27-years old. Hailing from Haukipudas, Finland.

I have come just recently to acknowledge that, that I might have some androgynous qualities. This is quite much due to conversations I had recently with a friend. He is known here as Nemo BTW.

I mean, before I had these conversations with her, I had no idea, that my state had a term to it: in my case it means, that I don't totally identify with either of the genders. To be more precise, I don't feel completely male, and I don't feel female at all. This very same friend though told me, that I look outside and physically "manly enough".

But I guess these things are more "voodoo" than you could think at first, eh?  ;D

One other thing I must tell you people is that, that the first time I got some kind of slight idea about my androgyny while I was at brink of psychosis, and I mentioned it often, while in psychosis. So I am not sure, if I am taken anymore seriously with this thing around here where I live. I mean, everyone, starting from my nurses thought it was only some kind of "misconception about being womanly".

At least I can thank my friend about that, that I know now, that a male androgyne doesn't necessarily need to be "femalish".

In general, I feel that I am fine with my body as it is, though I guess I should lose some weight and stuff.  ::) I just mean, that I feel fine in this male body, although I might not feel completely male all the time.

In my interests belong: writing, reading (the typical scifi/fantasy/horror stuff, though after my illness, I haven't had so much concentration for this either), photography, swimming, collecting cd and dvd's and listening to hell lot of music in general. Especially traditional doom and heavy/true/power metal. I am also Bachelor of arts/humanities, and I had as my major history of ideas and science. Right now I have in my plans at least that, that I applied to the library- and information services line of local applied sciences university. So maybe I'll become a "library uncle" one day.  ;)

I wonder, if there is room for someone like me too?

I am curently married to a self idetified Female to Androgyne person who also happens to be a member of this board.
We have every shade of genderqueer I have ever heard of and some that I had to go "what?' when I first encountered them.
Yes we have plenty of room for an androgyne like you.
