Title: My own identity
Post by: MugwortPsychonaut on February 11, 2014, 01:03:23 AM
I think... I think I identify as both male and female? Not androgynous, but both ends of the spectrum. Does that make sense?

As far as I know, being an "Androgyne" is typically being a mix of both ends, but not necessarily an in-between. Makes sense to me.

Yes, it makes sense and there are several people who feel the same way.

Not exactly both ends of the gender spectrum for me, but definitely two separate identities rather than a single merged one.

It changes, too. Some days I want to keep taking my estrogen. Other days, I panic that I have boobs. Some days I really feel like a girl, especially at work (they treat me like a princess!). I love how my emotions are more fluid now, even if just a little bit. Other days, I feel like I have to be "on," and I'm not always "on." Some days I like sounding like a girl, even if it's not my ideal feminine voice. I have a deep voice, and my mom has a deep voice for a woman. That's how I want to sound. I'm rambling.

That's fine, but what the hell am I supposed to do with my hormones? Boobs are permanent, and I had 'em after three days on estrogen!

Edit: I realize I'm not saying much of anything coherent. I'm just scared. I also might not have a house in a month, so that has me on edge, too.
