Title: Am I androgynous?
Post by: holly.r2260 on August 13, 2010, 12:07:35 PM
So I was wondering, if I'm androgynous. Biologically I'm female. I remember when I was little (around 7-11 years old) I liked wearing boy's clothes, hated pink frilly things, etc. I did like dolls for a period of time around 1st grade. Since then I've been kind of feminine, kind of masculine, but more on the feminine side. It's like I feel maybe around 70% female, 30% male.
But whenever there's someone saying they're an androgyne (am I even spelling it right? the spell check is saying it's wrong), they're either 50% male and 50% female, or they don't feel like they're one gender at all.
Do I fit into the androgyne category?
Thanks, and I hope you all have a lovely day! :)

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

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

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

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

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

I am pretty sure that believe oneself to be androgyne is probably the most important deciding factor in the equation.
I live with an androgyne. (my wife  ;D ) Anyways...I am pretty sure only you can determine in the long run if you are one.

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

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

Welcome, and beware of anyone bearing fruitcake :)

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

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