What Do You Desire or Like Most About Being Androgynous?


Guest Juniper Blue

Recommended Posts

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."

      This is the dress I'll be wearing this evening while we watch the Kentucky Derby. Not sure if I'll throw on heels or flats with it - probably flats but I haven't worn heels in a while and the Force is strong.   
    • April Marie
      Good morning, everyone!! I'm already on my 3rd cup of coffee and it's just 5AM. I can't imagine why no one else is here posting already!!??    It's supposed to be a cool day here with rain in the afternoon so no lounging outside for me. Our pool was opened yesterday so I'll make sure we have what we need to get it cleaned up and ready. The water temp is only about 60 right now so after I get the algae knocked down and the salt level right to begin making chlorine, I'll turn on the heater to warm it up. Probably a week before we'll be swimming.   Today is Kentucky Derby day so we'll put on dresses, hats and have a Mint Julep while we watch on TV.    Enjoy this beautiful day we've been given!!

      I feel like it took a while to land in the 'middle zone', but it did happen. But obviously all those decades of testosterone poisoining take their toll, the middle zone is still preferable to the old life.

      Everything that @MaybeRob said above is spot on with me too. The changes are much more subtle the older you start. I started HRT at 56 and of the feminine physical changes I experienced from HRT, 80% of all my changes happened by my 3 year mark. The other 20% of the changes are continuing still.   The feminine results I still see change happening in include: reduced and thinning arm, leg, and body hair, body fat redistribution to my hips and butt. There may be still some minor facial fat redistribution but at this point it’s getting harder to tell. The facial fat redistribution started after year 1. Also, I’m still on Progesterone which was added into my HRT regimen after year 1. I believe that is responsible for increasing the size and darkening the color of my nipples to a much more feminine look. I was happy about those changes because my BA procedure alone did nothing to improve that aspect of my breasts. I will be getting off Progesterone at the end of this year now that it has done its job. I will be 6 years on HRT this September. I’m guessing I may have a year or two left before all the expected changes will have occurred.   Hope that helps a little, Susan R🌷

      Trans Group Zoom Meeting Tomorrow!!   It’s almost time for another Zoom Meet-up and I’m sure it’ll be another entertaining time to get together with others from our community. As usual, these meeting can last up to 4 hours or longer. Come when you can and leave whenever you want. The start times are listed below.   If you need a Zoom Link, Message me as soon as possible as I will be gone early all day tomorrow (Sat.). I will PM you a link here before I leave for the day tomorrow. See you all next week.   Have Fun! Susan R🌷   From Zoom Host AllieJ: We had 15 at our last zoom of April, with great discussions as usual. When there are this many people attending, we have to be a little stricter with keeping our talking time short and watching for hands up so everybody can contribute. Best is to use the electronic ‘Raise Hand’ so it is more visible.    Trans Group Zoom Meeting Times: May 4, 2024 6:00 PM Pacific Time May 4, 2024 8:00 PM Central Time May 5, 2024 11:00 AM Australia/Melbourne

      Wow, Birdie, I hope you get better soon.  At least the nurses figured out that you're not their standard patient.  Hopefully they treat you right.     I wish my husband would replace our stoves.  Of course we use propane, being way out of town, but they're old.  They are supposed to use a battery igniter, but one hasn't worked in years.  There's actually a hole sawed in the bottom plate of the oven where I stick a match.  And the other one had some sort of valve problem, and couldn't get the parts.  I was hoping for a new stove, but I got to watch in awe and dismay as my husband made a "something" with a piece cut from a roll of bulk automotive gasket material.  It works, no leaks.  But I swear we don't replace anything here until it is absolutely dead.  With my luck, that will be another 20 years on those stoves.      I don't complain much, but I wish I had some nicer kitchen things.  Nobody understands that if I'm serving dinner for 36 people, cooking on sheetmetal plates or using stuff from a 1980s junkyard is a bit....suboptimal.  When I mention it, I get lengthy apocalyptic tales of the deprived life in Argentina or Mexico or "In Soviet Union, stove cooks you..."  Thanks, GF.  Or maybe I'm just too spoiled?

      I do the best I can to 'Pass' and I think I have become better at feminizing my appearance ... But, I have also come to realize that no matter how much I feel I pass, it's more up to the individual I interact with than with my efforts and appearance. If they are self-aware humans they will see me as I truly am ... and then I will receive a compliment, or a 'Ma'am', or just a friendly smile.  That's all I really need.

      In my case, at almost 9 months, most changes have been very subtle. I was 60 when I started, and overweight. Also, I am not very observant when it comes to changes. In the last 3 months I have been on T blockers and breast growth have definitely started having suffered irregular "ouchies", but at the same time I have been slowly losing fat, so Bust measurements have not changed. What has changed in the density, I can feel a difference. Face wise the skin feels softer, and my lashes seem to be more visible. Head hair regrowth is a maybe- maybe not situation.  I do have to select men's clothing carefully to camouflage the change in breast shape. I guess I'm still at the not passable as a female stage especially with no makeup. I'm also over 6 foot and well over 100kgs which I guess is problematic to start with!   Hope this helps somewhat   Kate .

      I started feminizing HRT about 6-7 weeks ago. I began with what I called the beginner's patch. I immediately found myself wanting to level up to the next dose and did that this week (yay!). So far, I am enjoying the ride.   I've read everything I can find on this topic. For the HRT vets on here, what is reasonable to expect in terms of physical changes for someone starting in their 50s? I know "your mileage may vary." I guess I am curious if I stay on my current trajectory for six months, a year, multiple years, how pronounced will the physical changes be? Will I reach a point where it is totally obvious or will I land in a "middle zone" somewhere in which I could pass either way?   Thanks! Like I said I am enjoying the ride so far and always curious to know others' experiences. Not sure anyone else in my life will be excited about these moves I am making, but I have been over that in many places on here already so need to rehash... Love and blessings to all!   Easy

      Being admitted into the hospital after a long ER visit. I started passing lots of blood and they are keeping me for observation.    Nurse came in to see about a condom catheter, that of course doesn't work on me. 🤣   She said, "I guess we will use incontinence supplies on you."  
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  I think this is what it is about.  Since they are not transgender, nobody else could possibly be either.  I'm not sure that a cisgender person can understand being transgender.  But that hardly means that a transgender person's experience is not real - just because it is not theirs. Why is a transgendered person's experience not valid, while a cisgendered person's is?  Why should it be the cisgendered person that decides? Nobody is forcing a cis person to transition.  What I do for myself is my own business.
