Hi ... After discovering the androgyne section a while back, and after finding out how supportive it was ... I am no longer inhibited in following my path. Perhaps not the best looking girl out there (as you can see from the avatar), but now confident that the changes I have made ... All the hair removal, the pierced ears ... all the way through SRS ... do NOT conflict with my being. Before, when MTF was all that I knew, I was still confused by my sometimes desire to continue living in the male role, and wondering if the painful aspect of 100% transitioning was really required ... But now I am free. When the work or social environment requires me to remain male, I can do that ... What they don't know won't hurt them, and it won't hurt me. But the rest of the time I am all the way girl. Well, woman I guess is a better descriptor! Now that I know the proper definitions of androgyne, and now that I know that who I am fits that role and always has (and androgyne is also a broad sprectrum, don't forget) ... I am inspired to be who I really want to be even more hours in the day, and at even more locations. Sounds like transitioning, but not really.
I hope you all are experiencing the same feeling of "ah ha" and excitement that I feel these days! Thanks to the entire community ... I read posts in all of the sections when I can ... Roberto
