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!

Androgyne.
I am not Trans-masculine, I am not Trans-feminine.
I am not Bigender, Neutrois or Genderqueer.
I am neither Cisgender nor Transgender.
I am of the 'gender' which existed before the creation of the binary genders.

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!
