I think... I think I identify as both male and female? Not androgynous, but both ends of the spectrum. Does that make sense?

As far as I know, being an "Androgyne" is typically being a mix of both ends, but not necessarily an in-between. Makes sense to me.
I see you looking back at me // as this might be the end of me
Misfortune in my history // and even more awaiting me
Tired of such controversies // sometimes I long for sweet relief
I've found a place that welcomes me // greener grass and bluer sea
Free from all the sudden grief // no clenching fists no gritting teeth
I feel the freedom as I breathe // nature and it's calm relief

Have you read my short story The Eve of Triumph?

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

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

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

Some people ID as bigender.  It does happen...

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

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