Feminine identity but non binary expression

So something has happened to me. I'm kind of liking androgynous expression.

Yes I'm still all girl. No question there.

But I like androgynous expression. I like a t shirt and jeans sometimes better than a cute dress.

My avatar is androgynous to some degree.

I like being not gendered at all sometimes better than being gendered sir or ma'am.

That said, I'm a woman. Just one who likes to tiptoe the lines of gender expression.

Anyone else feels that way?

Well you could have a look at the genderbread person:

You're not the only one... there might be support groups or monthly meetings for non binary people in your area...

I love it!

No, I'm not looking for a support group, I was just wondering about myself. I mean I don't mind meeting people but my life is so super busy these days.

Well, I'm kinda the contrary of you Ikate, I'm quite androgynous/non gendered in the way I feel or act, but I prefer presenting as a boy.
So I guess everything is possible
Oh and I'm not really smart btw, "Smart Alex" is a song from The Adicts ^_^

I tend to prefer unisex or androgynous clothing these days too Kate.  If I want to I can dress femme if the occasion demands it, but for everyday life jeans, a hoodie and tee shirt do me just fine.  Living in a farming district as I do most women around here dress in completely practical clothing and makeup is rarely seen which means I fit in just fine.
Another thing about small towns is that most folk know my name so the question of being addressed as 'sir' or 'mam' doesn't arise all that often.  I don't like gendered titles either.

I don't know that I feel exactly the same as you, I tend to present as androgynous male, and I often identify feminine...that said, I'm genderfluid, and I do sometimes still identify masculine, or something in-between ,or both, or neither, but mostly feminine...

Interestingly, I'm sort of the opposite. I feel my identity is non-binary, maybe genderfluid, but the way I want to express that is with a fairly feminine expression. (My current expression is on the masculine side, though)
I've always been drawn to people with non-binary expression, though. I don't know why, but it's always appealed to me, especially when it comes to clothing.
