I m having some reflections and thoughts about being roomies with an andro person. Read my thread in the "andro" section of this forums for further details.

We discussed in another thread I made about which community you hung out with - now I want to know specifically how hanging around andro people make you girls, with strong rooted gender identities as women, feel?

They're pretty nice to look at.
I like em'

If you count androgynous as a gender, then that's the gender I'm most attracted to. XD whether it be a male andro or female, they're pretty cute in personality and looks.

Andro people are tops 

Chicken, fish, meat, --- veg? They have me sooo confused 'cause I'm binary. I'm guilty as charged.

I second that emotion.

Whatever floats their boats.

That is exactly how I feel - and I feel like I am being close-minded because I do not comprehend andro people and being a hypocrite since I am asking the "normal" people to accept me as transgender, heh.

I think that's it in a nutshell, people in general are a little close-minded, we don't like to admit it but there it is. This doesn't apply to everyone, of course it doesn't, but lots of sheeple have an achilles heel.... You'd think that transgender people would be a little more open minded....

I think that their Androgyne identity would be an interesting facet of them to get to know.
It would be a new experience for me.  I identify as more gender-fluid now, and I have met cis men and women, transmen and women and intersex people, but not someone who identifies as androgyne.  At least as far as I know.
It's probably more relevant to find out whether they have any annoying habits.

Androgynous people are the people I'm most attracted to. ;3

I agree - people who feel marginalised are often capable of being marginalising themselves, and every minority group tends to have its own "norm" that people are expected to crowd around for mutual comfort, and it's less fun not being part of that.

I've experienced that being bi in a gay/straight world, and I've experienced that sometimes too as a TG female (from a physical point of view) who identifies as androgyne from the gender point of view.

Personally, I find androgyny attractive, if it's in a person with an attractive personality - just as I find femininity/masculinity attractive, with the same caveat.

I don't see androgyny as an 'option' that's right for you or that you choose, it's an experience that you're either having or you're not having, just like sexual orientation.

Things would (possibly) be simpler if I were straightforwardly womanly in my sense of gender, but I'm not. I'm neither particularly masculine nor feminine in my sense of gender, but I have always known I should be female physically. I don't experience any conflict between those senses of self - but others do, it apparently makes some people uncomfortable that I don't want to be a feminine female.

Sorry, I read that as implicit in the "if it's right for them", but I shouldn't go reading things into things without asking . I think what someone simply is can't be "right" or "wrong" for them, which is why I read it that way.

Seriously ... I don't get it. How can you not feel either male or female? I would even understand if you felt both male and female, but neither 

If you are not male, female, transgender, or even intersex (due to having both male and female reproductive parts), then what are you if you don't want to identify as any of those? "Human" is a cop-out answer, lol. peo

I realize I prefer to room with people who have strong gender identities than non-identifying with any of those gender categories.

Sorry, I just don't get it, lol.

Mmm.... my next roomie will have to be a total Barbie knockout so I can borrow dresses, heels, or makeup from her. lol

hahaha that's funny

Don't think of it as someone who feels neither gender, but more like a little of both, not one in particular.  70/30 or 50/50 25/27 etc 
Gender fluid is some days its more boy and some days its more girl but its generally always a little of both.  It can be very different for everyone.

my andro roomie says ze does not identify nor feel either male or female - ze presents very andro but zir hips are a dead give away to zir birth sex    huge, shapely hips and big ass

As a linguistically/medically oriented person, I get confused when people shorten it to andro. The andro part of the word implies maleness. I wish we had a better word.

Anyway, I know you were asking the girls, but androgynous people are beautiful, imo. A little confusing sometimes, but almost always yay.

Thats what makes it so hard, people see female when ze feels neither.   I don't know what feeling neither would be like, its a frigg'n nightmare identifying as both sort of ... kind of ... but now that I'm typing this, its like I can totally relate to neither.  LOL
