Female To Androgyne

[Guest Micha]

Hi hi and welcome! Good to hear your news, sounds wonderful!

[Guest Sandy Fisk]

I was a bit giddy finding this site and making my first post. I did not in any way intend to sound like I was gloating about the availability of services in my country or province. These services are new here, and history has shown that different provinces provide and then retrack them as politics wills. I just hope to get my work done before they change their minds again.

Though some enlightened professionals are healping out our trans community, prejudice is still rife within our society. I have read many people's stories here at Laura's, and I am just grateful to the incredibly brave people who have come before me who have carved this path for those of us that follow.

For sure. Politics is such a dirty word. A small group of people deciding how all other people should live they lives, wth? I appreciate any one of them who realize they're position and how it effects everyone, who can be aware of the weight of their descisions. Just seems there's more of the self righteous politicians about than not.

Anyways, I meant it, I'm happy to hear about your providence's policies on this issue, and I hope they remain steadfast. Let's also hope for some ripple effects.

Yup, I feel pretty much same as you, except sometimes I feel like I really just want to live as a male for the day. But generally, the choices and feelings are the same for me. Shots are not the way for me to go either (due to mental conditions and the stress of being up and down constantly). Low-dose is for me! Not sure I can afford it or if I could even go through with it... but it's a dream I'm still looking in to.

Growing up all of my friends talked behind my back arguing whether I was a lesbian or not. Nope! Just a gay guy in a girl's body. :3 (Well, androgynously gay guy.)

Hi all. (first post, woot!)

I'm an FTA too. I was thinking of it like that before I saw this post, because i like to think of making a real transition (i. e. buying boy's clothes but staying a girl? and keeping some of my female wardrobe, I guess. And maybe speaking deeper and such).

I'm planning to switch to an androgynous name and change my pronouns as well. So I guess I'm butting into our little club so...hi!

Hi Hilary,

I am with you 100% I have always been very masculine and am often seen as male in day-to-day life ... I get called "Sir" a lot. I am used to this since this has happened regularly since I was about 10-11 (puberty) and before that I was very boyish. I am sometimes identified as transmale, mostly by trans people who think that I am closeted. I am very open but I do not wish to become a man. Perhaps I am a male who has declined the physical option to change. Perhaps I am simply a very strong woman.Gender .. I think that gedner roles are mostly a scoail construct and gender characteristics ... it is so hard to say if they are learned or innate.

I am androgyne ... my nature is masculine but emotionally, I have many (learned) female characteristics as well. I like living in a gender balanced way. I wear only men's clothes and very short hair ... I am sometimes described as a "Handsome Woman." LOL! ( I hope this will continue until I am old and gray!) I would love to look like the androgynous computer-animated "host" that we have on our page! WOW!! I have always been unusually strong physically ... I am a brave and capable person. I am very protective and fight for justice as a pacifist and political activist. Yet, I am also kind, generous, emotionally available and nurturing. I feel that these qualities are complimentary. I am analytical, yet very in touch with my feelings. I can be guarded and intimidating but I can also be very gentle and sensuous. I switch smoothly between roles, states of consciousness ... I describe this as being a lot like driving a smooth stick-shift in an old reliable truck. My internal life is gender-fluid but my exterior is consistently masculine and strong. I am a sensitive yet, very tough person.

I place a very high value on my personal health and I am not making changes to my body unless they are deemed medically necessary. T is alluring but I am not willing to take it ... When I was younger, I was much stronger than my body building friends who were on T. For me, it is not necessary. I feel that the risks of taking a synthetic hormone, outweigh the benefits. I would only consider T if it was needed to treat a serious medical condition. I feel the same way about surgery ... I would not change my body for body augmentation purposes only. A more masculine body ... a more muscle body and a male chest would be appealing to me but I do not need these changes. I am happy ... I live well and I am content. T offers no solutions for me. In fact, if I had a choice ... I would prefer to be TALLER over having more body hair or possibly LESS hair on my HEAD! T has its positives but lots of negatives.

I do not identify with my physical body ... it is where simply I live ... an amazing shell ... I care for my body and I am very into health and fitness but the body itself ... well.... it is like the truck ... just the exterior. I am not my body. I am Spirit ... and I have no gender.

It is so wonderful to hear of others like me!

Best,

- J

And so your transition will be real, there should never be any doubt of that. No matter how you identify, the path from what you're "supposed" to be to who you truly are is a trnasition. If it wasn't, there'd be no point to us even being here. Everyone transitions, even if they're not transgender, it's a natural part of growing, expanding and becoming yourself. Every individual has to go through that.

My two cents donated, I wish you the best of luck!

Sincerely.

>.< I hate this not being able to edit posts and stuff. . . when I forget something I have to double post and feel all stupid about it.

Juniper, your post requires of me more though than I am capable of tonight. I see you. I welcome you. I just can't give you a worth while reply as of now. I am looking forward to talking to you very much.

[Guest Juniper Blue]

Thank you Micha .. reply when you have time .. there is no rush!

[Guest weather_rhythm]

i'm jumping on this bandwagon with enthusiasm

FtA is probably as close as i will get to a concrete term for my gender. still not perfect, but i like to think of FtA standing for female transitioning (to) androgyne. or how about i go one step further and leave it at female transitioning. change is constant, i am a statement of this undeniable principle rather than a defined gender. the point of life is the journey, and i have enjoyed mine thoroughly thus far.

Welcome! I hope you enjoy your time on this site! I'm new here, too, but I'm really liking it so far.

I'm going through the same exact thing as you. I'm 20 years old but I've been having the same feelings as you since I was little and it's rough at times. But I get through it. I don't like my breasts, either, but I live with them. Don't get discouraged! Androgynous people exist! We're just somewhat rare and people don't understand us...Or maybe they don't WANT to understand us. Most people have the idea that a person has to be A or B. They don't get that a person can be A and B or they can be neither. Just know that you're not alone.

Once again, welcome, and here's to hoping that you make some awesome friends here! =D
