What Do You Desire or Like Most About Being Androgynous?


Guest Juniper Blue

Recommended Posts

Guest Juniper Blue

I stole the idea for this thread form Carolyn Marie. I wanted to answer to both genders!

Okay ... for me ... I like the freedom to be gender fluid and to make the rules up as I go.

I love being strong .... I love being sensitve .... I love being able to express myself with any gender-tone or with an absolutely neutral tone. I like that I am taken seriously ... and Iike that I can be nurturing, sensitve and gentle.

What is the saying? I walk lightly but carry a big stick?? For me, it is somehting like that to be androgynous.

Hugs,

JB

I like everyone thinking I'm way younger than I really am. I'm 20 but service workers still call me things like "buddy", "kiddo", and "sport". Last year when I was getting my ID badge for my job, the security woman said "are you sure you're old enough to work here? You're just a baby!"

Yo, JB!

You KNOW I just had to chime in, right?

Actually, I do androgyny most of the time but am sporting rather the womanly figure (rather a bit more so that in my avatar picture here), and I just LOVE freaking freely in androgyny! Matches my personality! People give me that what-the-sam-heck-are-YOU? look! Now, THAT rocks!

Also, what you said? Rings true for me too!

Peace Out, You Rocking Androgyne, You! :friends: Lacey Freak-Show Lynne

Freedom.

To live without limits, barriers, or under the enforcement of external standards. Just to be free of all restrictions, in regards to gender as well as every other aspect of life.

What I love most about androgyny is that it gives me a feeling of independence. It lets me know that, just because I'm a biological female, I don't have to dress like a girl. I don't have to follow the rules of society. I can be masculine AND feminine and there's nothing wrong with that. It's who I am.

Let's DO it, babes!!!

Just this evening, I'm at the mall popping androgyny bigtime:

Very elegant and classy Ralph Lauren sweater, classic ladies' skinny jeans, ladies' winter boots, silver necklace, silver bracelet, silver earrings however no makeup and no wig ... just my androgyne's baseball cap which is stylish, classy and matches the ensemble. Most people of my generation, especially the women, avoid me. The 20-something generation, especially the women, love me ... talk to me ... hug me ... invite me to shop with them ... do makeup with them ... do Starbucks and talk with them. Go figure!

So, at 2+ years on hormones now, why am I doing androgyny? Because, it beats the heck out of wearing those doggone wigs!!! True, I can't use the ladies' room all androgyned out, so I usually use the unisex one-seaters. When I do use the guys' restroom, rarely, 90% of the guys, when they see me at the urinal, GO USE A STALL JUST TO URINATE! Do you LOVE it, or what?!? What a freakin' SCREAM!!!

Blue, I've GOT to visit California so we can freak freely. Heck, we can go embarrass the ever-lovin' bejeeziz outta Carolyn Marie with our David Bowie Freak Freely look, style and vibe! You with top surgery and looking guylike, me with a womanlike figure ... we'll just fry minds left and right!

AND!!!

While I'm in California, I've just GOT to check out SoCal's CO resorts!!! Yeah, I'll do THAT by myself! I would NOT expect you to freak THAT freely! Yeehi!!!

Peace :friends: Lacey

Postscript:

So, by inference, have I corrupted Blue's subconscious mind? Have I planted seeds and visions of freaking freely in the sun and surf? Will Blue thereby entice her enticing partner to join her on a vacation to Southern France at:

Le Cap d'Agde ?!?

So, not really know what the sam-heck THAT is, Blue copies, pastes and launches "Le Cap d'Agde" into her web browser's URL window, goes to their main website, finds the pictures section and ...

Oh ... my ... GOD !!!

Now, she/he REALLY wants to go there with her/his partner and freak freely in the sun and surf!!!

:score::thumbsup::score:

Hey, 'bout time y'all REALLY freaked freely as free-spirited/high-spirited androgynes!!!

Post-Postscript:

Okay, okay, so it's NOT Caliente, but it IS Le Cap d'Agde ... some say THE FINEST CO resort in the world! They MIGHT be right!

Yep. Plus the feeling of confidence I get knowing that I can do anything I want to do, and damn what people think. I almost feel guilty for feeling so liberated, as my SO doesn't feel the freedom to dress as expressively of his gender as he would like (outside of home). Part of it is the enjoyment of wearing the clothes, but moreso it is the feeling I get from wearing the clothes I want that makes androgyny so empowering. It's having the option to go any way I want.

I like androgyny because I want people to think twice about me. I don't want them to look at me and make a snap judgement about my identity based on my figure or the way I carry myself. I don't want all the social baggage that comes with being explicitly male or female. I want people to know ME.

I want people to know ME.

Truth.

How many people has anyone come into contact with who think they know what to expect of you and how to treat you based on their first and only observance of you? How many people take one look at you, and consciously or subconsciously put you into a box, and decide from the stigma of that box on how to interact with you?

All too many for me.

Gender is one of many parts to this machine.

I enjoy not having a gender script or filter. Clothing isn't male or female if I like it then it is just plain MINE! I like the freedom to walk into the goodwill and freak out equally about everything. I enjoy making my clothing and my body a canvas for my individuality. I can indulge in all aspects of myself and not worry about "passing."

      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."

      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.

      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far...

      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.

      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If this goes on, I am conceding the real possibility of being stopped in WM or somewhere by a concerned citizen who tells me, "Lady, God made you female.  I don't think you should be trying to look like a man. You need to return to your true gender and be comfortable living your life out as a woman."   Begin odd and awkward conversation.  I have been thinking about this this morning.

      There are many MAGA GOP types who are not transphobes, of course. Some MAGA GOP types are transgender.

      I'm hoping to read the next section today.  Many of the reforms they are calling for are good, such as expediting the military procurement process, and have nothing to do with transgender issues.
