Kia Ora,

Just a quick poll[for both M2F & F2M] re: androgyny=Showing characteristics of both sexes...Nothing serious just me being my usual nosy self... :P

:rolleyes: Well for the most part we all start out androgynous to some extent, however some more than others...

I've found that most if not all 'plump' people tend to look somewhat androgynous= a chubby face and body makes it easy for them to pass as their opposite birth sex even without HRT[especially M2Fs]...

Others who are quite slim may also have androgynous facial features - again which allows them to pass quite easily without HRT...

Once on HRT you will be surprised how androgynous you begin to look, even if you don't believe that you looked androgynous to begin with=that's why it important to let HRT work it's magic first and if you're still not satified then FFS might be the next step...

If you are already quite androgynous prior to HRT, then once on it you tend to migrate more and more towards your target sex and in most cases no FFS is required for M2Fs...

So do you think you are androgynous ?

Were you somewhat androgynous prior to HRT?

BTW some of us had/have no idea how androgynous we really looked prior to HRT...

First vote!! :D

Anyway, I do find myself looking rather androgynous ever since I grew out my hair (just a few inches above my shoulders) even though I wasn't on HRT. Started HRT 2 months + ago and so far I am not sure if I got anymore facial changes, but I sure never got "misgendered", partly I guess because I am in South East Asia, where many Asian males have androgynous look, and mainly because I am 5'9 (That's very tall for Asians, even male. I hardly meet anyone that came close to my height) <_< I have some pretty screwed up genes.

If some people would open their eyes before their mouths I might have an easier time of it however with a voice similar to Bea Arthur's (Maude and Golden Girls) if they just listen to the voice it's sir despite at work I introduce myself on the phone. I had some young punk at McD's call me sir this morning, i darn near called him Ma'am back Come on dude, youre not a honey teen? Doesnt a C cup chest mean anything... instead I said, "Someone needs to open his eyes" my gf and I had a good laugh about it honestly Sir and C cups, thats a gender bender.

I wasn't very androgynous prior to HRT, but i wasn't very masculin either. always was rather skinny and not really that broad (i am 1m81 though...). after groing my hair and dressing more androgynous, i sometimes got mistaken for a girl from behind, but from the front still obvious masculin :(

anyway now when i'm at work (still a boy there) people call me ma'am and sir about equally some even just ask the question wether i'm a boy or girl. :P

The longer I do this, with or without hormones; the more confident I get. I have found that confidence is the secret, if you look or act the slightest bit like you dont belong or dont know what you are doing you will be read every (or nearly every time). Im not sure how well my avatar shows that confidence, the pick was taking in June, barely 4 days into hormone free RLT. I have been on hormones now for the last 13 days and am already feeling some changes and that has done nothing but boost my confidence more (the pms like crappy attitude not withstanding).

I was often thought to be "female" growing up, constantly getting called "she", "her", "ma'am" (later in life). Phone conversations were never any better. Unless I deliberately made my voice deep and gruff sounding, I would be called "ma"am" over the phone or in a drive through. To me I didn't look any different than any other "boy" growing up, but I guess I did. Being called "ma'am when I was trying my best to present male did create some awkward situations however (even though I secretly loved it).

Two months after starting HRT, I gave up trying to present male anymore. It became harder and got me way more stares and questioning glances than presenting female ever have.

I guess I would classify myself as androgynous right now. The only things that really prevent me from presenting is my voice and my hair... and myself.

      I am sorry to hear that your friend turned out to not be a friend at all.  But that is the bottom line: she is not a friend.  She has chosen to ally herself with him and he is toxic to be around.

      Please pray for my precious baby lady, my Siberian husky, who is having emergency surgery this afternoon to remove her spleen and a large mass attached to it. May the surgery be successful and uncomplicated, recovery be swift and easy, and pathology be benign. She is our sunshine girl.

      I decided to post here in the "other faiths" forum to declare this thread non-denominational and inclusive of all faiths, creeds, philosophies, etc. I thought it would be beneficial for our community to have a thread where we could reach out with requests for prayers, thoughts, intentions, or however individuals understand the sending of good vibes. So feel free to post here. Whether or not you get direct responses to your request, know it's been received, read, and honored. And may peace and ease be yours.

      Hi, you can be a trans man and be agender aswell. I know it seems like a contradiction, but I see myself as non binary and I'm accepting myself as a trans man also. You could be called trans masculinine also. If you like trans man the best though, go for it. You can be a GNC trans man.  Have you heard of gender fluid? Not saying this is you, but it does relate to what you say. Sometimes you seem genderless, more agender and sometimes more masculine. I also see myself as a bit genderfluid, but only for the masc genders. I never wear anything fem so would never consider myself a fem boy. I used to think I was , non binary, then a demi man, trans masc,  trans man. I can't pin a label to what I am. My counsellor said I may be genderfluid, but a very masc genderfluid person. I love that you hate societal gender roles, I do too! I dress like a stereotypical guy because that's my style anyway, but I won't change my hobbies or personality to suit what a "man" is.

      @Lydia_R   I seem to recall my mother making us cream of wheat or Quaker rolled oats in the wintertime. I don’t know about “old fashion” or “steel cut”. Now I preferred either with sugar and or berries and the cream of wheat with some milk.  I believe my older sister liked her’s with maple syrup.   as far as a “larger culture”. I think you will find that even though we all support each other there is no singular culture.  There are conservative values shared here and there are very radical everyone for the cause and rights.  I like to think that I am someplace in the middle.  No, I don’t go to Pride events nor transgender day of remembrance .  I don’t go to clubs or bars where others hang out.  I do try to hold council with others that need someone to talk to or a hug, or if I know of a group that might be helpful or a doctor, I will pass that on.  But yes I am out of the closet, go to work and church and do everything as a woman.  The male side of me is gone.   i get asked personal questions sometimes and while I neither get mad that what they are asking is too personal, I also don’t speak out oh yes ive done this or that or plan to do this or that.  I leave it with I've done everything I intend to do, or I didn’t figure this out until I was 68 years old because I knew nothing about what being transgender was. You have those that were kicked out of their home, I wasn’t, those that got divorced, I didn’t and those that have to put up with others who refuse to accept your gender, your rights to be who you are, and that I do get every day.   so is there a representative culture for being transgender?  Tell me I’m wrong, but I don’t think so I think we are a suppress percentage of the population that are getting braver but who get trampled all the time.   Willow

      No not really.  But I’ll survive.

      Hi Ashley,   Thank you so much the reply !!!   That makes total sense with trusting the process and knowing that it’s not a sprint but rather like a marathon like you were saying.    So far so good with the Spiro 2 days in. Other than peeing a lot lol. But, no other noticeable side effects which I’m happy to report. However, I am MUCH happier that I’ve started at least somewhere. Gender Dysphoria symptoms are VERY real and starting treatment has made me SO much happier.   But, I will definitely look into the other options for E as you mentioned as there are definitely other options to consider other than the systemic route, thank you!!    p.s also trust in the process yourself and don’t be too hard on yourself. You’re a beautiful girl inside and out no matter what. “Patience is a virtue” is a proverb I’ve always lived by.   Much love girly 😊❤️

      Update: I have been put on blood pressure meds to lower a minor case of hypertension.  This has seemed to help the sore danglies quite alot. This was unexpected, however very happy this issue "may" be solved.
