Alloooo! :)
I am an androgyne. I've always identified as an androgyne even as a child, although then I didn't have a word for it of course, I just knew I was neither masculine nor feminine and had no desire to become either!
I have been through some adventures and some pretty tough times along the road of coming to terms with my identity and, more so, finding a name for it! I was around 21 when I first heard the word "androgynous" being used.
I always had an overwhelming desire to have my androgyny "officialised" (dunno why really) and luckily, recently, my gender specialist put the official stamp on it so I am very much happier now.
It is a very strong aspect of my identity and I feel driven to let the world around me know who I am inside so I am driven to dress in a way that makes it very difficult to tell what sex I am and am lucky enough to naturally look pretty androgynous/boyish anyway.
It's a very powerful internal thing but is so powerful that it does influence my appearance very strongly.
I spend a lot of time and money removing any trace of what I consider to be excessively masculine or excessively feminine features from my face and body.
I am often mistaken for a member of the opposite sex but I'm mostly approached by people asking if I am male or female. It makes me very happy when that happens because I know I look exactly how I feel inside! :)
I'm a member of an androgyne group in Scotland, (although I am very busy and don't get to go to many meetings).
Sooo, that's me... hiya! :icon_wave:
Naturally androgynous looks and an Androgyne too!
You have been blessed in two different ways! :icon_biggrin:
I agree, finding the name for "neither masculine nor feminine" was the hardest part.
Welcome!

I first encountered the word "androgynous" in high school (mid 80's). It was used to describe people like David Bowie and Prince. While I am a Bowie fan and I like some of Prince's stuff, I didn't really identify with either of them. So, I figured the term "adrogynous" couldn't possibly apply to me.
Well, I was wrong, as I've learned over the years that I'm an androgyne.
Welcome aboard!
