what exactly is androgyne? And what does it mean to identify as such? I have never heard of this before and am sincerly wondering. Thanks

For me, it means that I'm not entirely comfortable in my bio-male body. But at the same time, I don't think I'd be comfortable in a female body either. If I could have something somewhat in between, that would be great.

By the way, the possessive pronoun "your" in your signature should be replaced with the contraction "you're."

Okay that helps. Thank you for the signature correction as well.

Yeah, it' being unable to be male or female - and so all the things that result from that.

Hi Divatswun, nice to meet you.

To identify as such for me means identifying as neither male nor female. Androgyne is a non-binary gender identity though we are far from a homogenous group. Within this 'area' there is a huge range of possibilities in terms of expression and feeling.

While you can choose to identify as an androgyne it is not a choice to be one.

For myself I often feel like I don't have a gender. I see people behaving in gendered ways and I just don't get why they do it - it is all a bit of a mystery. At the same time I am suffer quite badly from body dysphoria in the sense that my body does not match my internal image of what it should be. I was born into a male body but desire something much more feminine though less distinct than a female body.

an androgyne is a person who's neither male nor female or a mixture of both. most of them anyway.
then there are some who are simply using the title as an excuse to crossdress.

being neither male or fem exclusivly - for me its feel to fem to be 'the man' and too much of a man to want to pass as female I also have the need to change to show both male & Fem charastics
mtf woman traped in male body

Yeah, everyone wants to look like an androgyne. We are the cool kids on the block 

to all who replied, thank you for helping me understand. For we all travel the road of life bravely. Remember to always to your very best to think positive and ALWAYS keep your head up!!

I'd also suggest just going through the forum...if you have a lot of time and patience (eh-hem...sometimes, we get a little off topic...but we always have a good time doing it )

tend to have a better time doing it

Who needs a title as an excuse to crossdress?
