Uh... is that supposed to be an answer? Cause I'm not getting it. I'm used to peeps whose blood runs near the surface.
Calm, cool, collected peeps don't happen in my world.

Hi, Nero,
I am almost always easy-going until someone steps on my corns. There isn't much that flaps. Judging by my body temperature and blood pressure I definitely exist somewhere!

Nero,
You are sweet and I appreciate your sense of curiosity.
I can't speak for the others, but, in my case, I have a need for calm. Plus, I see and understand most all sides to a situation. If others might be wrong, then I might be wrong too. I have to consider that what I see in other people is also who I am, or, who I could be.
am burnt out. will try more thinking later.

Yeah, that's it. The androgyne thing is a partly straddling thing between two genders, gives you the feeling that things are not rigid or right.
It is also a way of being outside the gender thing, which leads to a detachment, where lots of things feel like a joke or an absurdity.
It's not participation is it, it's lack of involvement, it's coldness.

So, androgyne = cold. Is that your answer?

I also try to see/understand both sides of any situation, and don't let to be judgmental. Most people I know consider me to be a pretty mellow person. I very rarely get angry, but when I do, watch out... Z does have a temper ::)
When I was in therapy, and talking about very painful things in my life, my therapist said I described these things very matter of fact, and detached, as if I didn't feel any emotions. I think that was some kind of defense mechanism on my part because believe me, I do feel things quite intensely. I wouldn't consider that to be an androgyne trait in particular, just one aspect of my personality.

Um, have you been stealing my mind lately? This sounds just like some of my sessions, although from the hints you've been dropping I don't think I can match your painful experiences (not that I'd want to :-\). I wouldn't have considered this an androgyne trait either, but now that you bring this up it seems possible that this trait has something to do with it.
For a while now I've worked under the hypothesis that my androgyny is really a result of two things. On the one hand it feels like I have a regular case of GID: this body seems wrong in the same way many 'normal' transsexuals describe it. On the other hand, I lack most of the social dysphoria, and there is no overwhelming distress. The social aspects I think are partly nurture (as opposed to nature): I was lucky enough that I wasn't forced too far into a 'male' role. Still, upbringing doesn't explain quite all of it, and it just struck me that diluting strong emotions might be part of my coping mechanism.
(See, here I go again, coolly analysing my emotional makeup. ;))

Yes, we are actually human and feel things ;) :o
I've always been an introvert and shy, took a while to realize that other people perceived that as being standoffish or cold.

This mind stealing stuff seems to happen an awful lot in the androgyne section ;)
Interesting, for me, the social dysphoria is what really gets to me, although I've gone through occasional phases where the body dysphora was more intense.
Now I'm wondering about emotional make-up, what colors does it come in, how to apply it properly, and where can I buy it? My local stores are out of stock!! ;) :D

It comes in a wide range of colours, so you should first decide on the colour scheme you want. Back when I was in my teens people tried to convince me to go for the Testosterone product line. True, it gives a rugged and confident look, especially if you apply it with a sufficiently broad brush, but somehow it didn't quite fit the style I was going for. Still, that's what I used, even though I tried a much more subtle approach. Lately, though, I've realised that I'm allergic to their DHT brand of hair products.
Their main competition is the Oestrogen brand, and several of my friends use that exclusively. Some of it seems a bit over the top for me, especially since I and my wife try to complement each other, not compete. Still, I've found that a subdued foundation from the Testosterone line works very well with a bit of Oestrogen highlights. I'm afraid most of this stuff is intended for professionals, so they are usually hard to find in normal consumer stores.
Then there are several other product lines mainly intended to complement either of these. For instance, some people use products such as Prozac to get a little lighter overall result, although this too is meant to be used under the guidance of a professional emotional makeup artist. For me, the fine details depend on the occasion. The Caffeine range is sometimes useful for covering the effects of fatigue; for special festive occasions, Champagne often works quite well. Again, the trick is to be subtle, so don't overdo it.

Until your post I never really associated it with TS. But after thinking about it I have to agree that suppressing or diluting strong
emotions might be part of the coping mechanism. But I also believe that it may be hormonal somehow.
I do know that as I got older I'm not nearly as able to control emotions as when I was younger. From about age 8 though about 25
I was one cool cucumber. No one got to me (in public) and people would remark how patient and calm I was.
There were no highs, no lows, just steady. It would piss others off to no end that I could remain so calm when confronted
by a raving lunatic. And there was no fear of anything, I did some things that to this day(climbing, biking) I have no idea how I
survived or why I did them. But there was absolutely no thought of consequence. Some would probably call it a death wish and
that might be the case to some extent.
Somewhere around 25 though I started growing facial hair and looked more masculine. I think the big T kicked in. About mid 30's
I grew chest hair(more T I assume) and from that point I gradually moved to a more normal emotional response where I showed more male anger, rage, etc.
So much more my wife remarked a couple of years ago how much I had changed.
HRT has me back to extreme and noticeable CALM. No anger, no problems, just steady happy, very happy, did I say
happy? emotions. In my case I think the T did not agree with my internal wiring. Or I may be just full of it. :)

Why so calm and collected? It's the balance... I put an introduction up a couple of weeks ago '56 year old virgin' briefly telling my story. I repackaged myself in Dec 2000, moving from male (externally) to neuter, if labels are needed to define bodily appearance. My male equipment was healthy, handsome (so my girlfriends and partners would say) and I enjoyed a lot of good sex but... to me it was a built in strap-on and had to go to allow me to expand my 'other half'. one g/f asked me why I couldn't just take the 'mones and be a '->-bleeped-<-' (she would still have been interested in having sex with me in that situation) Tempting but not enough for me. Walking away from my 'birth-defect' allowed me to step back from hetero attraction and reposition myself socially. With my cherished friends it has been smooth, a little tougher on the inner city streets. Sadly certain minority members of the community are predictable -at 50mtrs they think they want to bed you, at 30 mtrs they ain't too sure and at 10mtrs they are feeling for a weapon... but I live a full life, part of a community group that run Open Mic nights for Poets and musicians, have earnt a living for 15 years touring with performers from all over the world. Personal pronouns vary according to language and culture, my close friends use 'she' as do my step-kids. I look good in an A-line dress and heels but live and work in jeans and t-shirts. Not long after my rebuild I had a couple of intimate encounters with curious young women, one is now a close friend the other was a muppet (maybe that's unkind to muppets) then followed a disastrous inter-net affair with a lying Cuban bitch and since I have settled into a celibate lifestyle concentrating on the community, touring and my family around the world. Sure I would love a soulmate but I'm still getting used to the sense of being me and not a walking dildo... I feel for those who have it a lot tougher and I've seen so much courage i the posts on here already.

Alright, I'm an aggressive androgyne, but I will accept that cup of tea.
My aggression doesn't generally come out anymore. I'm angry a lot, because I'm short, female bodied, and young looking, so people don't take me seriously. However, I'm pretty good at controlling myself, after a lot of practice, because I don't like hurting people (emotionally or physically). It sucks though, people usually take that to mean that I'm not affected in any way, and that's not true at all. I've had that "coldness" label applied to me a lot, partly because I think very logically and partly because it's my way of trying to avoid hurting people when I'm upset.

I had a very angry period and nobody even knew. It was for the same reason as you; I don't want to hurt people emotionally or physically. I wonder if that is the secret of our seeming mildness - that we have the need to not hurt others at any cost.

I've only recently achieved this calmness...I'd say in the last two years. Before that, I shifted between extreme numbness, anger, and depression, but I didn't display that in front of others without some extreme pushing. But one day I realized how unhealthy it was to get so swallowed up by all of those negative feelings and I decided to change. Anger and the like are a waste of energy, as far as I'm concerned. Basically, I got tired of being tired. :) It's a lot easier to not get angry than to deal with the consequences of that anger.

People look at me like I'm some crazy bitch when I get upset, like I'm the only person in the world who isn't allowed to be angry. I don't even get angry, really. I just get frustrated and then I somehow become the bad guy.
I don't really get it. If I get mad at my little brother, I'm supposed to remain calm because I'm older. If I point out something that someone else does that upsets me, I'm a bitch. Strange how those same standards don't apply to everyone else. Especially since I'm one of the most immovable, aloof people you will ever meet. And god forbid I have pms!!! (...it's a long story, but I'm on the verge of ripping my ovaries out...makes for a slightly cranky Jaimey...)
I spent a long time burying any emotion which is unhealthy according to EVERYONE, so I try to become more emotional and to express my emotions, which is inconvenient for those around me. *sigh*

Quote from: Jaimey on February 03, 2008, 05:43:46 PMMe too.
People look at me like I'm some crazy bitch when I get upset, like I'm the only person in the world who isn't allowed to be angry. I don't even get angry, really. I just get frustrated and then I somehow become the bad guy.
I don't really get it. If I get mad at my little brother, I'm supposed to remain calm because I'm older. If I point out something that someone else does that upsets me, I'm a bitch. Strange how those same standards don't apply to everyone else. Especially since I'm one of the most immovable, aloof people you will ever meet. And god forbid I have pms!!! (...it's a long story, but I'm on the verge of ripping my ovaries out...makes for a slightly cranky Jaimey...)
I spent a long time burying any emotion which is unhealthy according to EVERYONE, so I try to become more emotional and to express my emotions, which is inconvenient for those around me. *sigh*
Thank God Jaimey was born with the ovaries I was supposed to get.

yeah. I don't need no messed up ovaries.
Take them out gently and package them safely. I'll be more than happy to sign for them.
act II
Rebis places the ovaries in a nest and impregnates the eggs creating an army of androgynes.

When I get angry it only last for about five minutes tops, then I probably come out with some outlandish joke then laugh my butt off. Hey Jaimey hon, you know where to find me if you have a need to let a little steam off. Heck I know all about that with people that know your personality and temperament they know they can get away with a lot of crap. Well may they get abducted by aliens and dropped off on some remote unknown rock on some corner of west hell. Nah...not that mean, I just wish them pimples on their sex.

Hello again Nero,
I don't know if you are familiar with the Myers-Briggs Temperament Sorter.
I am typed an INFP (Healer Idealist), which means basically I'm an
introverted feeling perceiving type who craves harmony and peaceful
relationships and seems calm to the outside world.
Basically, I'm just hardwired this way.
Of course, this doesn't explain the stomach ulcer I was diagnosed with in
high school, my very high blood pressure, or the fact that I often have
anxiety attacks and bite my nails
The surface calm you perceive could be a deception.
Survival in our society necessitates camalflouge if you are not an alpha.

Like others, I also can echo so many of the comments in this thread.
You may as well be describing me.
I have the feeling that people come to expect us to be mild mannered so much so that when we express anger it often comes across wrong. We do not do it enough to express it as well as they do so it shocks them. Just as many things in life practice makes perfect, we lack the practice I guess. My anger comes across at about the same level as what they consider being aggravated except I make a big show of it. When others get angry, they are on a level than I can't even grasp, and that is not even the hot heads.
I do wonder if it is a coping mechanism or just us being calm due to our genetic makeup... Which came first, the chicken or the egg, probably just as hard to figure out. Were it a coping mechanism, we could adapt and more easily fit in when we get angry, then again, we also have adapted ourselves to fit society and as usual I just talked myself into a circle. :eusa_wall:
As for that army...
Something to ponder. With us being so mild mannered would an androgyne army ever actually accomplish anything?
Oh, and I could do the pipes if needed.

If you cannot laugh at yourself...
You could say we were handed a joke, and a free sense of humor came with it.
Of course there is always the option of a sniper rifle and a watertower...

Why is it that every topic on the Androgynee board degenerates into a stand up comedy routine?
Because we don't take anything seriously?
Like Rebis said, you brought up an important point. I think this ease of falling back to humour is in some ways related to our condition. A defense mechanism against people laughing at us? Something that enables us to live with our gender issues? Whatever it is, your observation suggests that there is a connection.
Androgyne -- come for the gender issues, stay for the laughs!

I frequently talk to myself, and sometimes lock myself OUT. What passes for a sense of humor is merely of function of my mind being wired differently, plus I get distracted easily.
My wife was lying on my chest, complaining it is too bony, wishing it were more pillowy. Me too. Finasteride works slowly, should do the real hormone treatment. Oops, body disphoria is the other topic.
What were we talking about, an even temperament? As a kid, I would react with anger and violence. I didn't like that, and consciously effected a change over the years. I learned that if I didn't accept what I couldn't change with a bit of resignation and a sense of humor, a migraine would stop me dead in my tracks. Transforming myself from city boy to farmer, and quickly failing financially, transformed me in other ways, too. I no longer experience the pain and nausea, just the aura and sometimes the inability to express myself in words. As I learn to accept myself and my weird wiring, I find I can more easily see other viewpoints and find humor in the ways of the world. Did I say I could accept myself--oh well.
A good week, a week of peace,
Simone

Hi I would be in the same bug house sitting next to you y2gender. I love humor. Actually it was the use of humor that helped me throughout the twenty years I worked as a social worker. Well I may have been the culprit that started the stand up comedy stuff a couple of times already. Anyway I guess that was what made me fall in love with you guys to begin with.

I think it is a really interesting and valid question even if you were not being too serious Nero. It can take an external observer to see what is probably obvious. Now that you have pointed these things out I think many of us Androgynes can really relate to your comments (whether true or not... :P).
I have a feeling that many of us use humor as a universal way of relating to all other people. When you don't quite relate to women as a woman or to men as a man then maybe one of the things we all have in common is humor?

Last night I asked the people in my support group if they ever have times when they can't answer the question - "who, or what, are you?"
They couldn't understand what I meant. I tried to explain further, but no one said they had that issue.
Of course, I had to make it a point to declare that I'm not insane. Just different. :P
I'm sitting here, not knowing who I am, but I'm okay. It's just me. It's just my way. :P

A serious answer to your not-so-serious question, I can't be serious for very long. In some ways, I think it could be a response to our environments. But I also think it fits in well (you all are probably sick of reading this) with the childlike nature that a lot of us have. I honestly CANNOT be serious. It's not even a choice. If things stay serious for very long, I either get bored or fed up and I lose my focus. I'd rather make jokes and laugh than to focus on something that isn't enjoyable.
Besides laughter is healthy...and there's nothing more fun than hijacking a thread. >:D

Well it don't mater, I really liked this realy nice guy who used the word bugger a lot was a really nice guy. I had also made friends with one of the girls there, she went by the user name *Princess Ivy* I helped her through a divorce from her abusive husband. So ya I'm familiar with some of the UK expressions.

All right. That does it. I'm watching all of you!! >:(

One more word out of any of you and there'll be no television after dinner for a week.
Now be quiet and go to sleep.

I suspect everybody. There are no innocents in this matter. And, if I have to, I will carry this baby until I found out who wants to take it from me so I don't have to change diapers.

I have some experience diapering, and my youngest is off to college in the fall, so this young androgyne could help fill the void. Or were you seeking a wet nurse to diaper and breast feed? By the time doctors could produce that miracle, the babe would be weaned. And I'd be left with wet spots on my blouse.

" Many Androgynes and a baby!"
That does sound like the makings of a really good movie, I can see it in my mind already.
Rebis when it comes to babies and young children I always mean what I say. I love children and if another opportunity came along to once more have children in my care, I would not hesitate.

In a way, I have 2 answers to this.
On my own, I am far from calm and cool. I rage. I curse.
But in my interactions with others, I'm usually a bit more passive and I always have been. I'm not entirely sure why. Perhaps I've been conditioned by the knowledge that I am/was different and therefore was lower in the pecking order? Don't know.

Me too. I'm an oak (has anyone seen "Tombstone"? If not, ignore me...I'm just stoic) with others, but on my own I used to be anything but calm. I'm a little more in control now.

Lots of tomb stones on boot hill. I really don't know why they call it boot hill when they buried the stiffs still wearing their boot including their spurs. Or did they bury them with their boots and kept the spurs? Cindy whispers in the ears of her old gray mare. The mare shook her head in acknowledgment then whinnied. Once again off I went, riding my old grey mare towards the hills, hoping to make it before the sun set.
A light wind comes up and I could hear a whistling sound and stopped and dismounted then walked to the back of the mare. and as I had suspected, the wind was whistling through the bullet hole in the old grey mares butt. Incidentally, this was where the old grey mare picked up the nick name of whistle butt. An injury that the mare picked up in a cross fire just before the civil war ended in 18 and 65, I pulls the saddle blanket back over the bullet hole and all was quite as I mounted my mare and disappeared into the mountains.

It's called boot hill because that's where they bury you if you die with your boots on... meaning you died a violent death, probably gunfighting.
I've also heard rumors that they sometimes use someone's boots as their gravestone if they died in the middle of no where, but not sure if I believe that.

Hi Rebis the mother Alien laid her eggs in people by way of the mouth. It kind of like used a human body as the host and incubator for the baby alien. after a indeterminate time the egg would hatch then the thingi with the teeth explode it's way out of it's host via the chest. I believe that was how it worked. "Yuck, yuck, yuck, that was a really gory movie. If you have week stomach and an empath, I don't recommend it.

it's really not good to generalize like this. i guess some people may be "mildly tempered," but i certainly would never choose those words to describe myself. on the other hand, there are a multitude of situations where i might behave in a mild tempered manner. putting people in boxes like this is something that we should be moving away from.

Yes, but I've always got pissed off at the 'don't put me in boxes' thing. It's one of the best ways of quickly, and for the most part, accurately sorting and assessing and integrating information. A person who is not in a box is not really a person, they are just a thing, a thing with no touching or connection to anything else. Who would yearn to be that? Put me in boxes I say, just make sure they are the right boxes and that you are flexible enough to change those boxes when i no longer fit.

I hear what you are saying about the box thing. Putting things in boxes is how we deal with things, yes. But it is important to be able to shift around to other boxes, or maybe even half one foot in this box and another foot in that box.
(and back to the alien thing, ooh, well had I known you were talking about the alien! I mean, everyone was just saying "ew" and "I wouldn't kiss that thing" and something about an alien. But now that I know you are talking about THE alien... heck, I could probably quote 3/4ths of those movies! I have the nice collector's edition dvd set. My favorite is resurrection. Ripley is hawt, even if she is old enough to be my grandma)

You all like Resurrection? My friends and I laughed all the way through it. I like the first one best.
Hmmm...I'm not good with labels, so I have trouble committing to a box. Perhaps I just have commitment issues. ;)
Pica in a box? I'll take three, please. (??? I'm so weird :icon_geekdance:)

"Urrrrrrrrrk!" I couldn't stand the blood and guts but I just shut my eyes then looked after the gory stuff was done. They were interesting movies and so was their concept, the origin of the aliens, the huge alien ship more than half covered in sand.
I have seen only one other movie, which, by the way, was a really far out movie, not as much blood and guts., The name of that movie was, "Rama." There were actually clouds inside that ship, and lakes and forests everywhere on the outside of it, which was actually inside the drum-shaped ship.
I love sci-fi movies and I love astrophysics and astronomy, especially the study of Mars. I have very large collection of stuff about Mars.

Ive never been able to fit into anyone's boxes or labels, except where I had to jump through other peoples hoops in order to accomplish transitioning. I just don't like the thought of being analyzed like some specimen in a laboratory. I have been living most of my life on my own, I only tried once before to open my kimono for anther, and I was outright rejected. I think it is much easier to get along with people if they don't know anything about me that doesn't concern them. But I do care and have much compassion for another, I do my best to be there for them, even if all I can do is just give my shoulder for them to lean on. I am by nature a mild natured person who has the ability to get along with almost anybody. You will never see me put anyone down in any of my posts in here, nor will I get into any aggressive arguments with anyone, unless I think I may be able to solve the disagreement and I enjoy sharing with others here.

I think that tone is all in how we accept ourselves. People who are cool with themselves, tend not to care too much about what others might think. But if you are trying to be one thing, and everyone sees you as something else - well I can feel the conflict in that.

Hmm, a friendly cozy talk box? Friendly, snuggly, filled with things to say. That's what I gathered from your posts. Oh, that sounds like a rather mild temperament to me. I guess androgynes are mild because they can be. Like the neutrals in Futurama. "If I don't make it out alive tell my wife I said...hello."

Totally - I always, well almost always get perceived as man. Occasionaly I get mistaken for a woman on the phone because I have a soft voice and I often pick up with a high pitched purky 'Hi!'. I kind of like that, makes a change.
I hate being mistaken for a man. I don't like it. I don't like how the women in my section say things like "with the new guy starting you don't have to be the only one", or when my mum introduces me as "this is my son", or how I receive mail from the bank and it has a Mr on it even though I told them not to, I hate how there are only two boxes for gender on internet forms and I have to fill one out and I can't decide what I dislike the least, I hate how I am included in man jokes or how women get together to talk about their husbands and roll their eyes saying "men" including me as an object for their good humored scorn. I don't like how people assume my sexuality is homosexual from the way I look (though I don't mind getting hit on by the guys as long as they are not too sleazy - I once stayed in a backpackers and this guy came up to me and said "I noticed you have a big cock", of course I could only reply "not really, it is the only safe place to keep my keys but there goes that theory"). I dislike how when I buy womans underwear everyone around me seems to freak out like I am a pervert and I end up feeling like I am one.
I understand it though, I have a mans body and I do have many behaviours lots of people classify as male. It makes me want to just curl up and cry at the unfairness of it all, there is nowhere to go to escape it - except if I hang out with lesbians. Lesbians are great, they often seem to accept me as a kindred spirit and I love them for it, and their porn is nice.

I don't really mind that, if it's as far as it goes. Things like being told 'you only say that because you are a man' really hurt, though (regardless of whether I said that because I was stupid or because I was right). Some of my acquaintances subscribe to the kind of feminism that results on these remarks, which is why I've always considered myself an 'I'm not a feminist, but'. Similarly, I've never really liked situations where the males around me expect me to like hockey or sexist jokes (and the absolutely worst part of puberty was when the rising testosterone levels tried to steer me to the last-mentioned direction, but fortunately that didn't last very long).
So, no, being perceived as a man (or a woman) isn't a problem. Being expected to behave a certain way because of that perceived gender is.

Totally - I always, well almost always get perceived as man. Occasionaly I get mistaken for a woman on the phone... I kind of like that, makes a change.
.... I don't like how the women ... say things like "with the new guy starting you don't have to be the only one"..., I hate how there are only two boxes for gender on internet forms ..., I hate how I am included in man jokes or how women get together to talk about their husbands and roll their eyes saying "men" including me as an object for their good humored scorn. ....
Ditto on the above. As for clothes, I've only gone as far as red and blue shoes, an aqua unisex night shirt, and a T-shirt with a small print of squirrels, etc. Though last night at the sporting goods store, I bought some training pants to see if they'd be gentler on my catheterized parts and they are all several inches too long. I wondered if women runners with the same waist might have shorter legs, but I didn't check it out.
When our daughter was a baby, my wife belonged to a new mothers group, and would come and rail at "you men". My jaw would fall open, and then she'd remember who she was with. And in cooking classes or the League of Women Voters, I'd get asked if I didn't feel uncomfortable being the only man: NO. I feel uncomfortable with a group of men talking about investments and sports ad nauseum. And I refuse to join any club or social group that excludes women.
I know Pica Pica likes boxes, but the box of "those men" is one I'd like to escape; I just don't belong.

I can relate to much of what is there. I don't mind so much the pronouns or most people thinking I am a male, but I hate being lumped in with other males and it being assumed I have similar behavior or expectations (yes, I know that sounds ridiculous). At one job the women would start chatting and every now and again they would look at me and just say "oh sorry", I would rather you just continue what you were doing instead of acknowledging the fact that I do not belong in the conversation. Of course getting this across to them never worked.
I found similar to you with the lesbians, but I thought maybe I was the only one who experienced this, they seem to quickly pick up that I am not a typical male and accept me as one of them. Sometimes taking that acceptance to extremes.
I have not done the underwear thing but I have had some strange experiences with men thinking I was something I am not, I seem to attract all types of people.

Well I just simply don't get sick, not physically and I thank Great Spirit I don't. I believe I should be thankful for Echenacia for keeping colds and flue away though as well. I get depressed or emotional occasionally but nothing to really wright home about. I believe that it may have something to do with hormonal variations.

Hi Pica pica, oh wow that really sucks man. I can't stand being indoors in the summer and have always found ways to be outdoors even when I was working. Being a social worker doesn't mean you have to be inside to do your work. Now I'm retired and can live outside if I wish and I might do just that. In the mountains, "hee, hee, hee." I wonder if they have any Sasquatch up there?

I do 3 terrible things.
1) I have no experience (except weird ones with theatres and portrait photography and filmmaking and stuff)
2) I think for myself.
3) I am very ambitious (but relating to number 2, those ambitions are my own ambitions for my own self).

Me too! I have no experience but I can't get experience because no one will hire me because I have no experience. It's stupid. My job is okay, but I couldn't make a career out of it. Starting next week, I'll probably be working about 52 hours a week because I need the money, so I'm working overtime. Bleah. There are no windows in the building I work in. We just sit in our "pods" which are like cubicles, except more lame.
*sigh*
I do feel better though. You were right about those feelings coming and going, Reb. I got to relieve some stress yesterday when some friends came over. Laughing is good. :laugh:
I hope you all start to feel better soon too! (I think my cough came back...I wish it would get warm!!!)

We don't have the death penalty in Australia, either. Or tipping (except in the odd café, and that's more if you can't be bothered taking home the shrapnel from a $3.85 coffee).

Tipping is important. It's a way to express your satisfaction or lack thereof with the quality of the service.
Nothing to feel guilty about. If the service sucked, no tip or a meager one like a dime or something is a nice non-verbal way of making your displeasure clear.

Yeah, but if you're paying 2.60 GBP for a single vodka with lime and soda (expected to go up this week due to the budget speech last week) you'd expect the poor bar-person or waiter to be getting properly paid as well.
I still generally leave a tip though. A small one, but South Africa is also big on tipping, and I feel guilty not doing it. I had to bite back more than a few choice words in my waitering days...

I don't even touch alcohol anymore. I never liked any of it.
Speaking of topics, I just wanted to say that the reason androgynes are of such mild temperament is because someone knocked us unconscious.

Quote from: Wikipedia (Really, where else?!)Imperial pint
The imperial pint is equal one eighth of an imperial gallon.[1] It is used in the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth countries, though mostly replaced by metric units.
1 imperial pint:
= 1/8 imperial gallons
= 1/2 imperial quarts
= 4 imperial gills
= 20 imperial fluid ounces
= 568.26125 millilitres (exactly) ≈ 568 ml
≈ 34.677429099 cubic inches
≈ 1.2009499255 U.S. wet pints
≈ 1.0320567435 U.S. dry pints
You know, you guys do all make it hellishly difficult for yourselves (and the rest of us!!!) to have any clue what you are talking about when measuring stuff. Follow the French, go metric! ;D

I am not certain either. Except that grams are way smaller than pounds, it just makes it sound that we are getting more for our $ which is not really true. When buying gasoline, comparing the quantity of liters per dollar and gallons per dollar, it sound like you are getting more for your buck in metric as compared with the dollar and that just ain't so.

U.K. gallons are larger than U.S Gallons.
There is even more than one metric standard. This caused one of the European Mars probes to crash, the landing system was written in one system, and programed to land in the other. It sort of made a nice crater.

A UK tonne is bigger than a US Ton.
One of our numbers is bigger also, can't remember which one.

Hi, I found that back when I was drinking I was rather fond of Heinekins beer, you could purchase it in both Canada and US. I just found that the taste was about as close as some of the breweries did about 48 years ago . There was a later time where I only drank home made beer fermented in a five galon crock for 4 weeks and bottled in quart bottles it was 9% alcohol. Three bottles would set you on your behind.

Well, you can always use Gaussian, or Heaviside-Lorentz, or better yet, natural units. I mean, metric? Who ever came up with a system that set the speed of light to be 299792458 and Planck's Constant 1.054571628(53)*10^-34? Just set them both equal to 1; then everything is a lot easier!

10 has just 2 and 5.
20 has as many as 12 (2,4,5,10) but they're not as dense, and just not as nice -- you can't divide 20 into 3 evenly.
But 60 is very nice: 2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30. So there are lots of ways to evenly divide an hour. You know... if you're into that sort of thing. :embarrassed: ::) :P

Aw, nothing wrong with that! Besides, 60 does have some precedent in history - the Mayans used it to create the most accurate calendar in like, ever. The reason 10 works though is because of the ease of multiplication. 60x60X60 - most people would have to whip out a calculator for that! (Which granted, is damned sad in and of itself) But 10x10x10 is easy. Blame the ancient Indians! And the Arabs for introducing 0 to Europe!

Seriously though, I agree, no analogue for decimal in nature really, except the arbitrary choice of the number of digits we have. Personally, I think we should only be using Primes and Fibonacci numbers supported by natural constants, but even THAT is arbitrary if the multiverse model holds out!

In the second column (H for "hours"), there is a single :) in the 1 row and nothing in the second H column - therefore, the H total is 10 (1, 0). For the minutes, the first column has two :) :) - one in the 1 row, and one in the 2, which = 3. The next M column has a grand total of 7, taken from the :) :) :) in the 1, 2 and 4 rows. The seconds = 49, as there's a :) in the 4 row, and a 1+8=9, as represented by the last column.

True, in some senses 12 is a better base than 10. So why do you keep switching all the time? I mean, all right, 12 inches to a foot makes sense, but why then 3 feet to a yard, 220 yards to a furlong, 8 furlongs to a mile and 3 miles to a league? And that's only length... >:D

True, in some senses 12 is a better base than 10. So why do you keep switching all the time? I mean, all right, 12 inches to a foot makes sense, but why then 3 feet to a yard, 220 yards to a furlong, 8 furlongs to a mile and 3 miles to a league? And that's only length... >:D
Oy vey. My eyes just went all cross-eyed after that. I so like my metric!!!

Oddly enough, a lot of it is made in dry counties, so you can make it, but not drink it.

Boone is here in Missouri, (yes, he was in other places too).
That name is all over the damn place. You cannot go anywhere around here without seeing it. The house is pretty cool though.
Actually, I think my house is on former Boone land, or very close to it. It used to be a tobacco farm up until the Civil War. The neighbors across the street live in the former slaves quarters. There is even an old family graveyard in the back corner of the property from back then.

I would argue it is easier to move these days than back then. It is safer and faster to travel, and you can find work and housing before you leave. Heck you can do all of it in mere days before you leave, or take a vacation to arrange things before hand. Sure there are more laws to navigate, but they are fewer than and not as difficult as you may think. I have changed states 4 times on my own, and an handful of times in the military. None were difficult.
Don't let the little things hold you down. Paperwork like licenses and birth certificates are not an issue. Only your mind is, I am far from a world traveler and I did it.

D'nal Boone (closer to the way they pronounced it) just didn't like it when anyone got to live within a few miles of his house, so he kept moving. One of the people who pioneered the way through the Cumberland Gap so the people from the East Coast could move to KY, he ended up cross the Mississippi, in Boone's Lick I think.
And, the number one maker of bourbon, Jack Daniel's Distillery, (Which has the #1 U.S Government permit to distill whiskey, in 1866) is located in Lynchburg, a place where it can't be sold. Odd. But Lynchburg is in Tennessee, not Kentucky, given that, I doubt that KY makes 95% as I bet the market share of all JD products is above 5%.

Psst, tekla.. read the label on the bottle before you drink it! :icon_drunk:
Jack Daniel's makes whiskey, but not bourbon. Jack Daniel's produces Tennessee Whiskey, a sour mash whiskey similar to but more refined than bourbon whiskey. Tennessee Whiskey was officially recognized as a unique style of whiskey by the US government in 1941. Jack Daniel's is the larger of the two currently existing Tennessee Whiskey distillers (George Dickel is the other one). The Jack Daniel's Distillery is located near the small town of Lynchburg Tennessee in Moore County... a county which does prohibit the sale of liquor, as do several other counties within the state. However in 1995, Tennessee law provided an exception to country law... a distillery within a 'dry' county is permitted to sell a commemorative alcohol product within the county, regardless of county statutes. Jack Daniel's can be legally purchased where it is manufactured.

Actually, I like the idea of picking my food off of bushes and trees and hiking through forests and hills and streams and valleys. I think this is why people are so stressed. That travel time would be perfect for unwinding, forgetting the nonsense, and making you appreciate the shack that you were probably going to end up living in.
Ducking hostiles sounds fun too.

Actually Rebis you can still travel that way. There is a pretty large hobo culture still riding trains and just plain hiking across the country on little to no money. My uncle does it when he gets tired of a place. If I remember right, last time he headed from Cali out to the mountains of New Mexico and ended up working construction in Mass. I think he left with 2 weeks food and maybe $200 or something. Will Weaton (actor on Star Trek) after the show, he tossed all he had into a storage locker and went riding trains for a year or 2 with no money. There still a lot of hitchhikers out there as well. There are scores of people traveling the planet with nothing, that sort of travel still exists, it may not be as dominant, but it does exist. Plus, with the advent of wire transfers and ATM's, you could head out with nothing and get money instantly if you got into trouble.
I am not trying to push you to go, just letting you know that what you want to do, is far from impossible, in fact some would say it is very easy. If you really want to try, next vacation time you get, go for a week or two, you could always catch a bus home at the end for cheap.
Here is an idea, why not try the easy and safe route, jump in the car and start driving, if you see something interesting, stop (old Route 66 is perfect for this). You never know where you may end up, you can sleep in truck stops, and even get a shower there. Eat things you pack. You can get across the country in a week easy and for only a bit more than the cost of gas. 2 weeks is more than enough time.
Even if you only get out of town, it can be very liberating and fun.

I often feel the same way, and then I look back and I am surprised at all I have done and experienced. I know that may sound like I have lead an exciting life, compared to some probably not, but compared to others, definitely.
Life is what you make of it Rebis
I am not saying grab life by the horns or anything silly like that, I am not that type of person myself usually, but it seems clear to me you need to get out and experience something new. It does not need to be life changing, meaningful or expensive, just something or someplace new. Step out of your shell for a bit, see the world. Look on the net at some interesting things to see in the nearest major city, jump in your car and go. No plan, just a list of things to see or do, preferably more than you have time for (makes it more exciting and leaves you wanting more).
You need to do something like this, don't think about it, just do it.
If you do nothing, then yes, your life is just passing you by.
What is life without something to look forward to or look back on.

The secret is to shun breeders and their offspring.
Don't touch your eyes or nose.
Wash your hands often, especially after being near people or touching anything another person has touched.
Cover your face with something if people try to breathe near you. They don't like it, but them and their germs can go to hell for all I care.

Don't touch your eyes or nose.
Wash your hands often, especially after being near people or touching anything another person has touched.
Cover your face with something if people try to breathe near you. They don't like it, but them and their germs can go to hell for all I care.
Shunning would be a bad idea, my work is based on referrals.
Besides, I would not mind being a breeder.

I must confess that I would also like to be a breeder...but I will only produce wonderful, kind understanding offspring...because they'll be just like me. :icon_yes: Damn skippy. hehe.
I once drank a fifth's worth of whiskey in hot totties (thank goodness I couldn't taste anything...ugh) and the next day I couldn't even tell I'd been sick. It only worked the once, though. I haven't been sick enough to not taste since then. I guess that's a good thing though...

Although, come to think of it, one might try how much a toddy made of an Islay malt and hot water would differ from one made of Bourbon and Lapsang Souchong tea. Then again, why bother? :)

Outside of falling off the loading dock onto my head and my recent operation, I've only logged two sick days in six and one-half years at UPS. I believe that record is due to eating a variety of fruits (including bananas, blueberries, and strawberries daily) and nuts each day. I enjoy sipping whisky and bourbon but for sore throats I keep a bottle of Italian grappa. The best comes from the little town of Chiaverano, but it isn't available here. I also enjoy an occasional glass of Cynar (from artichokes) before dinner, though appetite is not a family problem.
Our mild temperament should also benefit our health.

We're not really trying to find a new box. We're trying to figure out what we have that's common between us. We know that not all androgynes are mild tempered in real life, but, at this site, we've a tendency to be mellow.
So far, I think some of the similarities are:
- Being mellow
- mild or off and on GID symptoms
- sense of humor
- discomfort in being addressed as our birth sex, but living with it.
- Female bodied tend to desire some male physicality or neutralization of secondary characteristics
- Male bodied tend to desire at least some physical female attributes.
- Discomfort in some social situations
nothing written in stone, I guess.

Wow Rebis! 22 pages into the off topic thread to end all off topic threads, and you've actually brought us back on topic! A true miracle :laugh:
That's a pretty good list. I'd add unwillingness to engage in conflict, thus seeming to be mellow about things when in fact we might feel quite passionate about wishing resolution.

Well, just by that list it looks like i get to play the trendbreaker again. ^_^
Newp * Being mellow
More than mild i'd say * mild or off and on GID symptoms
A twisted one that most don't follow * sense of humor
No need to 'live with it' when one can do something about it * discomfort in being addressed as our birth sex, but living with it.
n/a * Female bodied tend to desire some male physicality or neutralization of secondary characteristics
n/a * Male bodied tend to desire at least some physical female attributes.
Not attributed to any 'gender issues' at least. * Discomfort in some social situations
And i'm quite willing to engage in conflict when the situation warrants. So really, trying to come up with lists and new categorizations will only apply to the people answering in similar ways in that singular location. So rather than 'androgyne-identified people are typically X' it instead becomes 'some people posting in the androgyne section of the forum are X'. Trying to spread it to anything more than that runs into the same stereotypes that most can see are absolute trash. ^^

I don't think we are rebels against gender, at least not willingly. Would you say that to an mtf or ftm? For them it is not really a choice, same here. I always tried to fit in, I was confused about why I did not fit in. It was not a matter of trying to bend the rules or be different, I was different and wanted to be normal.
We are not really trying to put ourselves in a box. We are just trying to find the commonalities and a better understanding of ourselves. Most of us have never really had anyone who understood us and now we have found others like ourselves we are exploring that. Most people experience this daily so it is not something they even take notice of, for us it is exciting and new.
I have to admit though, I would like to find some commonalities and figure out a better definition than those floating around the internet about us. I have yet to see a good one. Most are filled with generalizations that fit 90% of the population. Not necessarily a set of rules, but some sort of definition for outsiders to better grasp who and what we are. Does that put us in a box? No, we are still a very diverse group of people.

well i like the idea of finding commonalities, even if we manufacture them a bit. I'm sodding fed up of not being a part of something, of drifting around alone without peers or connection. I for one would want to put myself in a box if it was a friendly box with nice people in it.
I'm not an androgyne because I am an bloody awkward sod who refuses to fit in, I am an androgyne because I am psychologically neither male or female.
(Edited to remove swearing. I was very upset about this.)

Isn't that all you need then? In that sentance you've made a distinction that defines a group. There's no need ( imo ) to take the term and try to whittle it down in artificial ways that end up excluding people who feel similarly. If you must attempt such though you can always make up a brand new word for androgynes who are ______ , but trying to narrow down an identification by commonalities that aren't so common serves no real purpose other than to stroke egos.

Too bad, Rebis. I liked your list and could see myself in each point. It's not a list of membership qualifications, but it does seem to express the positions of a certain subset within this forum. Nero identified this group as "calm, cool, and collected" as opposed to those "whose blood runs near the surface". No one has attacked that characterization until now. We've been able to discuss politics and religion, for instance, without any bitter disputes. Another topic showed that a significant proportion among us have rejected the full transsexual option, at least for now. Anyone is welcome to post here, so no generalizations about posters could be valid. But it is because a critical number fit your list that I, for one, keep coming back.

Yes and no. Yes, that's all you need to define androgynes as a group. But then again, no: it's useful to see if there are traits that are more common in this group than in some others, because that can help understand just why we are the way we are. 'Know thyself' and all that, if you will.
Personally, I think that some of the traits in the list (most notably a mild case of GID, a sense of humour, and a degree of mellowness) have contributed to my being androgyne instead of either of the binary genders -- and furthermore, some realisation of these contributing factors has helped me deal with my gender issues. On the other hand, some of the traits do not feel like me (most notably, I don't care whether people address me as my birth sex, as long as they don't make too wildly invalid assumptions based on that perceived sex). Still, that's just me, but I hope you noticed that Rebis didn't claim eir list was authoritative in any sense.

Experience and references are the best bet these days.

I have the feeling that people come to expect us to be mild mannered so much so that when we express anger it often comes across wrong. We do not do it enough to express it as well as they do so it shocks them. Just as many things in life practice makes perfect, we lack the practice I guess. My anger comes across at about the same level as what they consider being aggravated except I make a big show of it. When others get angry, they are on a level than I can't even grasp, and that is not even the hot heads.
Same here, if I ever fly off the handle then it is so unexpected and so "unlike me" to be upset as to cause a problem. People see me as the "rock" of reason; I am not allowed to show emotion since people see me as unemotional and reasoned, and it scares them when i'm not. Like you said, it shocks them. I've always been calm and have always been able to see most if not all sides of a situation.
It is a drag sometimes having to be the responsible person and having to clean up some kind of mess.

I know! I'm usually very calm and quiet, whereas my mum and brother (15) argue A LOT, and because they always get so irritated with each other I'm always left to be the peace-keeper and make everything happy again - which I don't really mind, and it's all fine and hunky-dory and whatever, until they get upset with each other, and *then* do something which really annoys/angers me (and I don't anger easily), 'cause then it means that to avoid World War III I have to bottle everything up rather than get angry too. It's SO ANNOYING!!!
But at least I should make a good diplomat. ;)

A degree is just a tool in your personal toolbox that you may be able to leverage in your life. I own my own relatively successful company and only possess a lowly two year degree; my degree has been worthless as far as my career goes. Far more important is attitude and the willingness to work hard.

Thanks Jaimey. I'm still bloody inside. Perhaps that's TMI. I just want to go back to work and burn off more of the food I eat anyway.
Last night, I thought we'd use up the leftover roast chicken from Friday night, so I made chicken lo mein. It tasted good, and I timed dinner so my daughter asked to be excused just before my wife arrived back from New York. The former was not thrilled to be summoned back to sit and converse; she missed the end of a NEW Criminal Minds. Tonight it's back to using one of those cows you guys shot for a small roast with garlic cauliflower. What are you vegans serving?
I think I'll start signing my posts 'S', ala Zythyra's 'Z'. That's how I sign e-mails to my wife, and no one else is using it yet.

It's not really what you could call a moustache, unfortunately, but every few months I have to shave my upper lip 'cause after a while it looks like there's a permanent shadow there. :P
A few years ago I went to a holiday revision thing for French (it was right before our final HSC exams), and there were *four* girls there with definite moustaches. And I mean, *really* obvious, like a few millimetres long (which is longer than most girls have).
There once was a man named Michael Finnegan,
He grew whiskers on his chin-egan,
The wind came along and blew them in again,
Poor old Michael Finnegan, begin again.
On a completely different note, I love the flowers and fairies, Cindy. :)

facial hair is scratchy...not good for :-*. heh.
and as most of my male friends have found out, the mustache by itself is rarely a good idea. :D hehe. it takes a special face to pull off a mustache.

Thank you Lutin. Yea I'm kind of fond of fairies mermaids Animes angels well a whole lot of stuff of fantasy and mysticism And my goodness fury stuffiest and I love house plants and flowers. I have been saving this kinds of collectibles for a good many years. See I knew someday I would be a girl and just started collecting all this stuff not to mention women's clothes. I was never frightened of just walking into a store and do me some shopping in the women's department. "Hee, hee hee."

Hi Ell,

I missed the flexo episode. I'm trying to catch them all, but my partner holds me hostage while she controls the channels.
Hmmm, that might explain why she is growing hair on her chin.
Thank you very much, my dear.

maybe maybe not jamiey. as i think it would depend on how you did the kissing. and if you was useing a
rideing crop or a whip or a paddle at the time. now say if you used one of these items while kissing then you
can still say it is punishment in a way ;) :icon_evil_laugh: :icon_evil_laugh:

OK, it could just be my sweet-21-and-never-been-kissed-ohhowsad naivety :eusa_boohoo: ;), but I just can't quite figure out the geometry of kissing someone while using a whip... :icon_weirdface:
It could, however, be punishment if you had to kiss a unicorn (unless, of course, you actually wanted the free lobotomy...).

As for bush. I never think about it, but I imagine his mouth probably would taste like kissing the other end. :icon_blah:

Well brunet with copper highlights, I don't know where the copper comes from but I like it. Well as fore the two Bushes, if we had more of them we would have a forest. Pioneer chainsaw time.

Speaking of poor little piggies, my great uncle would get attached to them while he raised them and would cry before he shot them. :'( Aw. Did you know that you have to basically look the little piggy in the eye when you do it? ...not that I've ever done it, but my family is COUNTRY in many ways...for example, my grandmother used to fix biscuits, sausage, bacon, and eggs every Saturday morning. Yum!

It was funny to discover this topic, because I'm really not a calm person at all! I'm noted for being quite angry at times--although it tends to manifest as anger against ideas or political figures, rather than individuals I might actually have a conversation with. I have rather stormy moods and have to manage my emotions quite carefully. I'd like to be calm and measured all the time, it's just not something I've ever been able to achieve...

Hi Ell hon, I have never found you to be a dope, your a smart girl and you have feelings just like the rest of us. You speak your truth and that is it. Sometimes telling what we believe to be our truth to others will not cotton well with some of the others. We all have a different perspective on things. I'm no saint I do that to now and again, or I just speak to much and give more detail then needed. Sometimes it's like drawing a map where you have to point out to some individuals each place you have to travel through to get to the destination.
Dear Rebis you are so right, sometimes we need to retreat within and sending a prayer to whom is in need is about all we can do.
Anybody know where Jaimey went to? Haven't seen hir for a while.

try the chipotle tabasco. Take a flour tortilla and fill it up with slices of fajita chicken, spanish rice, and whatever else you like (refried beans, cheese, etc) and roll it up. Apply the chipotle to the end as you eat it. It is awesome.

3) Androgynes are unicorns,
Then a group of androgynes is called 'a mixed blessing'?? :P

LOL that's a good one. Sometimes it feels like androgynes as a group are a mixed blessing to the Transgender community.
As others have stated, I think my temperament is mild because I can usually see where others are coming from. I don't think that's because I'm an androgyne. I think that's just the way I am.

I've observed that guys and girls have a lot of drama. Androgynes seem to use their noodles a lot more. :P
But that's just what I've seen. I won't say that's true or anything, haha. I don't like to target groups like that and say ALL people are a certain way.

Sorry, dear, we are all out of light hearted banter. We have some heavy-handed discussions left in the supply bin, and some light hearted comments (a.k.a. smart-aleck remarks) left over from last time, but that's about it.
Hey, lookee here...I traded some serious discussion with the Fashion folks for some banter, so now we can continue with any type of discussion you care. *Smile* God, I love shopping!

I love this thread because of the humor. Heck people on the other threads don't seem to understand my jokes, you see, the ones I tell are home spun, from the cuff. Oh heck I don't have any sleeves let alone cuffs on this dress. Lovely hot weather and I am enjoying it. But then I might be off topic is several times in one post. Well the Androgynes folks are ripe nice people anyway.

"That's a beaut"
"No, it's a mound"
"And right pretty too"

That's me too. I get more annoyed and frustrated than angry, but when I do, I get a little snappy...or maybe just short. I put myself in time out when that happens (okay, so I just go in my room so people won't bother me, but anyway...)

I have a theory that people who are very Androgenous are also highly evolved, spiritually and physically as well. Not in a religeous way but if you go by Native American spirituality the great spirit, universe, animating life force is either both male and female, or neither male nor female. So I'm thinking androynes are closer to that spiritual model.

You could flip that about and say we are highly primordial in lacking a more refined and specialised spiritual self, a missing spiritual link. That makes as much logical sense to me.

Quote from: Virginia WoolfA great mind is androgynous. It is when this fusion takes place that the mind is fully fertilized and uses all of its facilities. The androgynous mind is resonant and porous; it transmits emotion without impediment.
l'll translate Virginias words:
"It is when this car crash takes place that mind is full of ->-bleeped-<- and likes to play with itself. The androgynous mind is a bit shakey and full of holes; it leaks things as there are no walls." ;)

hi... mild .... not a fighter .not angry . do get frustrated . even when provoked . . yet some times been worked up . i think as you get older you see theres no point to that . you just do your sellf harm ...so ill walk away . even when bullied at school . yet i was strong enough to hit. once to get respect . i only ever did that once at school . he never tryed it again . so is it a part of us as people or do we have that part of us that makes us different as andro . i know being this way we see things from both sides . & have a understanding that most people dont on an other forum i tryed to explane to them i think both as male & female . i have not meet any others like my self . so can you tell me how i explane this part of us how we see our selfs how we think & may be do things i dont allways get the words right so thats part of my problem plus dyslicsa i know how i am wired just getting the right words to explane whats in side . thats frustrating for me .

Hi Noeleena,
One argument you might make is that every mind contains masculine and feminine traits. For most people, one trait is much greater than the other. For us, there is more of an equality in these traits. At times, one trait overwhelms the other and, at other times, both traits are equal, and there are times when each trait cancels each other out.
It is different per individual. For each person, it is different at different times.
Tell them you are gifted.
I know I didn't account for every circumstance and I am not speaking for everyone. This is my own thought at this time. We are each an individual and so you will need to apply your own perspective to your explanation.
Just a thought. Someone else may have a better way of saying it.

Well, Pica has a theory that our gender growth kind of stops early in life. Sometimes we use the word 'pregendered'. I believe the idea is that we are sort of stuck at about the age of your grandchild, more or less. Maybe that would work as an explanation.
You can say that the part of your mind that handles gender is stuck at the level of a young child.
That's what I've been saying. In fact, I don't know why I didn't write this earlier.
I probably didn't say it too well, either.

hi...Rebis well thats right on . never thought of that . yet thats so right stuck in my tracks not going any where . for me it would have been age 10 . i knew yet that door was locked . i know this has been the case in my life for 40 years ..many doors have beeb shut . 11 years ago that all changed for me . just so much has been changed . it certainlly has made a big difference to how i do things & see things .
thats not to say every thing in my life has been a total loss there are many nice things . still thats life ...
I have strggeled in many ways . ill say it this way i would not wont to go back to most of that part of me as a male , the female . or women side of me is so much better . yet i still retain the male ness . well some of it .
how do you find it trying to balance it knowing you can not run from this part of your life yet allowing the women or female to come to the front . not so much with other people just with in your self . i dont get this from the other trans . they just wont to be females yet a lot are just so male .
i find it hard going back in to the male world if you like . having hated most of it . funny as it is i am getting better at acceopting ((( males )))
well you know the ones i mean t v c d t s . i am not saying any thing aganst them i really do get on well with them . it was just me . hated being around males . full stop ... just 40 years of trying . knowing it was not working .
as i am going through this i am thinking . hey . this sounds like a t s ...... i am not i never was or will be .. heck ...... i have thought about this 3 rd gender side of it how do think on that . i have thought about it just not sure yet ... oh well time to stop . ill catch ya

Everybody probably finds their balance in different ways. In my case, I've done it within my mind and my soul. You can't tell from looking at me.
I hated being around men for a long time, but I'm okay with that now that I know who i am better than I did before.

I've changed my mind. I don't think I have a mild temperament. Sure, I can be nice, I can be 'path of least resistance', I'm pretty tolerant and patient. But I am also a stubborn grumpy bastard. I might be long tempered, but I have plenty of rage potential.
It's just easier to be evil when you are clear headed.
Being out of place tends to knock your confidence, makes you quiet and prone to observation rather than participation. Maybe this is the root of the mild temperament stuff. It is a result of lack of place rather than actual personality?

Gender socialisation might have a part to play too. Anyone that crosses gender boundaries tends to be knocked inline. To avoid this maybe it is easier to not make waves, not cause a fuss, avoid attracting too much attention, live under the radar... :eusa_shhh:

I'm on a roll now... perhaps a lot of human conflict stems from gender politics - cat-fights, male dominance, social gender rights etc... When you don't buy into that you can see that almost immediately there is much less to get into conflict about - hence the appearance of being mild.
Personally I tend not to want to have conflict as a result of growing up with a manic depressive father who could snap at any instant and become violent without any apparant cause. My older brother is a great negotiator and peace maker, probably as a result of our upbringing too. As a childhood abuse survivor I think I carry scars, the desire to avoid conflict, to take a passive approach. But as I have grown more confident in myself I have overcome some of this. Resolving much of my gender stuff has changed me for the better I think.

I tended to avoid conflicts when I was younger. I wasn't strong or fast enough. As I got older, it seemed to me that I rarely was served well by being confrontational. Maybe it's due to my history of avoiding conflict, and so I'm lousy at it now?
Furthermore, persons who are confrontational rarely win me over to their way of thinking, even when their logic is good. If I end up siding with their cause, it's because someone else was able to plead the case in a more mature and professional manner to me. Brow-beating just doesn't do it for me.

I noticed this too...I'm incredibly calm, and not at all judgmental, and am very able to dissociate from my own reality and accept others. Especially recently. Even if I am deeply offended by someones viewpoint or actions, I can still remain very civil with them. Some of my best friends are very, very "different" from me, and I can still be around them and be okay. What I mean by this is a lot of my friends are not very accepting of those who don't fit the typical gender/sexuality scheme and they voice this, but I don't take it personally. As long as they aren't over the top, I can deal with them. I've noticed that many LGBT can't be friends with someone that doesn't accept them fully, but this was never the case with me. I've been friends with people that doesn't really make "sense" (neo-nazis, gay bashing red necks, gang members), because I realize that they are not the label. I really am incapable of hating people, no matter what. It's always been a gift of my to see past the bullsh*t of people and get to know the real person. I was in a Juvenille lockup facility with a kid named Diego, who killed two people in a botched robbery. No one would have anything to do with him (except his fellow gang members). But once you got past the rough outside, he was the sweetest guy ever. He was very concerned about me it seemed, always asking how I was doing. I'm beginning to think a sense of universal acceptance may be very consistant with being truly (don't get to riled up for me saying I know what a "true" androgyne is...that's just my little perspective. What I mean is more than someone who gender-blends on the outside, more of a "internal" androgyne) androgynous in nature, because most androgynes seem to be this way naturally (even if they are aggressive). But hey, that's just what I see.

How does one who is so calm and non judgemental and mild get into Juvy?
You are much more forgiving than I am. I would not be friends with someone that killed other people just to get their goods, no matter how sweet they are. The devil is always nice.

One INCREDIBLY big misunderstanding...the things i did that were illegal were not harming in my mind, society just took them that way. And eventually the individuals involved took them that way, but in the moment I didn't perceive what I was doing as harming or exploitative, because I took everyone's feelings into account (at least my perception of those feelings). Had I known the full repercussions (not just for myself, but for all parties involved), I would never of done those things. But the legal system is very rigid, especially when they took what I did in terms of being "male". Hard to believe such a nice guy like me was charged with a 1st degree felony, 5 2nds, 1 Class A Misdemeanor, and 5 Class B's (As an adult I probably would of gotten a at least 50 years, if not a life sentence, possibly with no parole). That is precisely why I don't judge people based off of criminal history, because you never know the whole story.
And just a little side note, Diego never killed anyone to for material gain, at least from what I gathered. It was more of pressures from fellow gang members, drug influences (I think he was on meth), and a huge sense of not having any purpose. He didn't "choose" the gang life. Joined when he was seven, because his brothers and all his "bros" were that way. When he committed the crimes, he was only 14. Hardly able to think in terms of long-term consequences (both for himself, his victims, and the world at large). Of course he knew what he was doing wasn't good, but I don't think he understand the full repercussions of what he did. Should they just let him go free, because he is just a kid? Of course not. But how sad that he ruined not only his life, but the lives of his victims, their families, and his family all to fit in. God this world is just one massive conglomerate of f****d, don't you think?

What sort of things does someone do to get a 1st degree felony?
I looked online and all I could find was stuff like sexual exploitation of a minor, aggrivated assult, homicide in one case, delivery of a controlled substance. They are all pretty serious things.
Oh, I get it now, 1st degree means you are the person commiting the crime in question.

And a first degree felony is a big deal, not easy to get. You ->-bleeped-<-ED UP BIG TIME. And Diego, who killed other people, fark him too. Scum is skimmed from the pond, as this should have been. Let's hope he doesn't breed.

that's you're perspective, and I'm fine with that. My crimes were all caused by physical age differences, and there was no physical harm done. I've learned that a lot of our laws are meant to enforce morals, not law and order. The first degree felony I committed was called "rape", but to me this is a the a word that implies physical violence. The reason it was considered rape and not something else was because of a three year difference, there was no physical domination, not on my part. At the three year difference happened two years later, it would of not been a problem. Was what I did "right"? No, harm was done. But the same harm could of been commited, and possibly greater harm, in a more legal context. And I never tried to commit harm, it just happened. Had the event existed in different circumstances, harm would not have been done. There is an incredibly complex dynamic to these things. Had I been a physical girl, I really doubt any harm would of been done. The greatest harm done in my perspective had to do with my physical gender, not the actual act. I've come to my own understanding of what happened, as have all parties. Everything seemed to work out okay in the end, so I'm not too upset. If I could go back, wouldn't of happened. But I can't, so all I can do is come to terms with it.

Lol, I'm not heated. Calm as can be :)
Another things I've notice, changing topics a bit, is when I get angry (unless I am really hurt emotionally, and it has to be really bad), most the time the anger is caused by an attitude that has an effect on the world as a whole, not me on a "personal" (it is personal to me, but not in regards to "myself") level.
Yet another thing, I've learned that getting angry at something doesn't change it. Getting angry that someone killed or raped someone doesn't change that it happened, so why get angry? Get angry never changes someone's viewpoint, so why get angry? Anger ALWAYS makes things worse, never better.
And yet another thing, I've learned people do EVERYTHING for themselves. Hitler killed Jews for himself, Jesus saved humanity for himself (If you buy into the Christian perspective). So who am I to judge that on a universal level? Hitler was very bad in my perspective. But Jesus caused a lot of harm, too, although not directly. Inquisitions, holy wars, etc. And who knows, maybe the holocaust of the Jews (and gypsies, invalids, and homosexuals) stopped a world-wide nuclear holocaust? This isn't too say would should say, "Oh, silly Hitler. Bad, bad Hitler. But it's okay", or not try and prevent such things from happening again. You can never tell the harm done by a single action. Because when you really think about it, that guy 500 years ago who stepped on a pesky spider had a part in the Holocaust, although indirectly. But that's just my perspective. The key to a happy life is just living in the "moment", IMO. Once you become attached to everything outside the moment, you begin to become very unhappy. The Buddha was onto something, I think...

Maybe we androgynes simply realize that most things that get people all stirred up are simply not worth getting excited about. It takes quite a bit to get me stirred up, I prefer to let most things slide off my back.
Funny story - my boss noticed that I wasn't getting all wound up at work when he thought I should be; he equated my level of apparent non-stress with my level of "concern". He later made some comments about my calmness to my coworkers; in his opinion I was too relaxed. And i'm one of the people in charge of making a vary large two year IT project work.
He has no idea that i've dealt with issues and projects far more stressful than this one :D
And in a calm state frankly it's easier to step back when needed and take the long view.

I have to admit that I didn't make it through this thread any further than the fourth page, I think it was, before jumping to the end to see what the new post was. I'm glad I read as far as I did, though, as it rather sounds like me too.
I'm mild, sure.
Or rather, I'm really detached from my emotions. A therapist I went to once said that it could be because I was separated from my mother at birth and kept from her for a little while because of health reasons (she had gotten really ill, if I recall correctly) and that that somehow created a detachment from myself. Which makes sense to me in some ways because that really is how I feel most of the time, not really alive, just kinda there. I was told that's why I was so attached to stuffed animals as a kid as well because I needed some sort of exterior thing to attach myself to (and I still do sleep with one >>: I luv my giraffe, haha.) I don't know if that helps anyone else or not, though.
I find it interesting that you guys have been drawing a semi-link between this sort of emotional detachment and androgyny, though. I wouldn't have ever tried to make that connection. Aren't we supposed to be playful? XD
But yeah, I stuff down negative emotions, it takes a lot to ruffle my feathers, all of that. I don't even cry around other people, I stubbornly hide my tears and oftentimes any sort of pain I'm experiencing, until I'm alone and just can let it out. I don't want to hurt those around me and I always got yelled at whenever I expressed my frustrations when I was younger too, I think I've become quite the people-pleaser because of that until more recently when I've overcome that bit mostly. Mostly. I'm mostly a very logical person and have a hard time pinpointing what emotion I'm feeling sometimes, especially if it's negative (happiness is like... the easy one, duh, I'm laughing XD but I often confuse fear and anger and grief).
I hate it when that time of the month comes along because the surge of estrogen messes this all up for me. My thoughts spin wildly out of control and I end up yelling at people for the stupidest things. Well, no, I end up yelling at my boyfriend for the stupidest things. My stubbornness keeps my insanity from showing around almost everyone else, lol.
But yeah... mellow <3 lol

With an ECT and drugs, I went from a massively drugged out guy who spent more time in restaints than out. After the ECT, they changed my location and started a different drug regime. After 4 months of this I was tenetively released into a half-way sort of place, after another 3 months I was released to the fostercare home where I now have been for two yrs. About 4 months ago I started taking spiro. The effects on my mood started in just a couple days.
So after lots of drugs that numb your thinking, then shooting an abnormal amount of electrons through my brain tissue, and now on a far better med regime, I'm finally declared a non-threat and everything will stay the same as long as I want. I can live a normal life. That's when I started on the spiro.
So it is only recently that you could say I am a Androgyn with a sense of humor, or not. I don't think to many people around here think of me as mild mannered. But every day I have to at least check in here for a dose of attitude, that is more agreeable than anywhere else I have ever been.

Quote from: i on July 23, 2011, 07:25:38 PMSo it is only recently that you could say I am a Androgyn with a sense of humor, or not. I don't think to many people around here think of me as mild mannered. But every day I have to at least check in here for a dose of attitude, that is more agreeable than anywhere else I have ever been.I like your attitude, though, Ativan. Sometimes it startles me, but that just causes me to think about it more than just passing it over like "oh, that was nice."

When I was a kid, I got upset really easily. I think I learned through embarrassment and low-grade bullying to hide that.
Through my 20s I'd get angry. Not violent and nasty usually (though I might have punched a concrete wall once, ouch, and raising my voice wasn't uncommon), but frustration that boiled over. At which point I'd often be upset for losing control, and switch over to embarrassment and crying. Turns out that was at least partially a blood sugar issue, because once I started getting treated for diabetes I was a lot better.
I never wanted to hurt people or upset them or cause a disturbance. That extends to not sharing my opinion in conversations if it disagrees (except in certain situations) or interrupting people or the like. Sometimes it means I'm standing there listening to people being jerks about something that touches close to home and I just mentally make myself not part of it.
I still get teary-eyed at movies pretty easily. I don't get ranting mad much though, not compared to my wife. We can both hold the same opinion about something political and she will grind her teeth and rant about it for two hours. I'll just think "that guy's an ass, why'd anyone vote for him?" and then think about something else.
If it weren't for anxiety I could claim to really be a calm, laid-back person. But I'm always worrying about stuff even knowing I shouldn't. In fact Friday morning I spent the whole drive to work upset because the new kitten was being a jerk, and somehow I translated his trying to play-fight with my toes (with painted nails) as a comment on my gender. Yeah, the 17-ounce bully. :D But it was amazingly hard to let go of that ridiculous feeling.

But, I do know that little kids just like to be around me. The sillier they get, the funner it is. I miss my girls being toddlers.
Little Lily, their granddaughter is here for the weekend. It just thrills me like nothing else when I can make her laugh and giggle
by doing silliy things like make faces and other dumb grown up things that grownups think little kids would find funny.
Detached is a defense mech. for sure. Instead of physically hurting someone, I now pray that there is a Jesus and he will take care of this awful person for me. Then I give a little thanks that I'm much better with the world than when I thought so much of it needed to be destroyed.
Not that I beleive in Jesus, as much as that moment of passing the buck, so to speak, allows me to feel better about me. And that it's not up to me to decide any longer.

i'm pretty detached from my own emotions. when i was a kid i cried easily, but then at some point i realized this won't get me anywhere, so i stopped crying. now i can usually only cry over a sad story or other people's tragedy
i find that i'm quite open minded, maybe even too much. i tend to pick up on other people's emotions, and they get to me, so i end up using my natural skills as a mediator whenever there's any sign of conflict. after turning 20 i got ever more cynical about the world, so i don't get shocked no matter what happens
now my family (i.e. parents) are the only ones who can get me riled up. i don't get how my mom can treat her own kids the way she some times does, so i say what i think about it, and because she's my mom i'll also take offense when i think she treats me unfairly. but other than that i couldn't care less, what other people think or say doesn't have anything to do with me, so there's no point getting offended over little details

I used to get riled fairly easily, and Mum likes to remind me how stroppy I was as a teenager. Had mood swings, detachment, all sorts.
Then T happened. Mood swings stopped. Felt a lot calmer and happier.
Overall? I've just grown up and realised that getting wound up solves nothing. I still feel passionately about some issues, but in the main I prefer to let the upset slide off my back and deal with it rationally.

It was other people that made me either realize I was mild or decide to be more mellow. It was such a long time ago. :) But I watch people get so riled up about stupid things. It takes a lot of energy to get angry and worked up. I just figure it's better to save my energy for worthwhile causes.

They do group together in cold icey snowey areas in large masses. How would we know if they are not production sites for toxins? The cold would help preserve them better. I have to go closely watch some penguin stuff on animal planet.

Today I am an angry androgyne.
An organization I've been part of for 15 years (and was part of the leadership for a while) is going through what is probably a necessary change... but it's not going smoothly. I'll spare the details, but essentially, some people who were a bit tangent to the group but had a kind of truce, are now being made to feel unwelcome. It's probably partially intentional (because everyones' place is being challenged) but I think people are taking it harder than was originally meant.
Along comes this guy, never known for his tact but generally respectful in the past, and compares these people -- furries, otherkin, multiples etc. -- to LGBT folks and laiming that those people are making him feel insecure and marginalized *as a male heterosexual*.
I started to post, deleted it, started again, deleted that, and walked away from the computer. Woke up this morning and decided I'd be wrong not to say something, came out about being androgyne and gave him both barrels.
And then I got dressed for work. My pinkest, most oversized, most femme shirt (which is theoretically a mens' shirt, but it's mine so it's an androgyne's shirt). Both Old Spice and Secret. Tough old jeans and stompy biker boots. I felt like I was dressing for gender battle.
I love this shirt. I've worn it only once, and that was to a feast during a weekend dedicated to Hethert (Hathor), the Egyptian goddess of femininity, love and joy. (In Kemetic Orthodox terms, I'm "beloved of" Her, meaning my primary relationship is with a different deity but She is a big influence.) At that time I was still identifying as male, but definitely knew something was going on. I was influenced pretty heavily by that event actually.
Uh, anyway. This is me in wrath: I write a forum post telling people they can't be sexist and homophobic, and I dress nice. Quake with fear, evildoers!

ya know, it would be really nice to say I have a mild temperment. I'm definetly better than a few yrs ago. Drugs and electric shock treatment can do that. Plus I made a huge effort to just be as mellow as I can. I know that the tarnished side of me still comes out, but it's with much more control and I can actually feel remorse for things I've said and done in the recent past.
It makes me think that people who just think something is wrong, and then find out they are Androgynes, well it brings a huge relief. It did for me and couldn't have happened at better time. I think that that is the root of mild temperament. You know more of where you are in relation to everything else. And you do'nt even have to work at it. You learn to trust it, trust others around you.
But, as for myself, I don't think of the term mild temperament applies as it does for everyone else. But, I'm always trying to work on it.
I can feel love rather than just knowing that it is there.

I really enjoyed how your wrath seemed to dissipate as you got into the details of your clothing. :)
I can't be sure if the hets are echoing what they think they hear from minorities, or if some of them really feel threatened. I would probably address them as to how they feel they are threatened. Maybe they need hetero-pride day or something? Or just a reassurance that it's okay for them to be 'different'.

You know, I am pretty mild-tempered, I rarely get emotional. When I do it doesn't lasts much.
But I have a skill to say hurtful things and to "disarm" people with random things. For example, with a smile.
I might as well make someone feel the most awesome person in the world, or the worst vermin, lower than mud.
Depends on my mood, i suppose.
