What Do You Desire or Like Most About Being Androgynous?


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."

      LGBTQ rights Project 2025 takes extreme positions against LGBTQ rights, seeking to eliminate federal protections for queer people and pursue research into conversion therapies in order to encourage gender and sexuality conformity. The policy book also lays out plans to criminalize being transgender and prohibit federal programs from supporting queer people through various policies. The project partnered with anti-LGBTQ groups the Family Policy Alliance, the Center for Family and Human Rights, and the Family Research Council. Project 2025 calls for the next secretary of Health and Human Services to “immediately put an end to the department’s foray into woke transgender activism,” which includes removing terms related to gender and sexual identity from “every federal rule, agency regulation, contract, grant, regulation, and piece of legislation that exists.” The Trump administration proposed a similar idea in 2018 that would have resulted in trans people losing protections under anti-discrimination laws. [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; The New Republic, 2/8/24] Similarly, the policy book calls for HHS to stop all research related to gender identity unless the purpose is conformity to one's sex assigned at birth. The New Republic explains: “That is, research on gender-nonconforming children and teenagers should be funded by the government, but only for the purpose of studying what will make them conform, such as denying them gender-affirming care and instead trying to change their identities through ‘counseling,’ which is a form of conversion therapy.” [The New Republic, 2/8/24] The policy book’s foreword by Kevin Roberts describes “the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children” as “pornography” that “should be outlawed,” adding, “The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned.” Roberts also says that “educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Roberts’ foreword states that “allowing parents or physicians to ‘reassign’ the sex of a minor is child abuse and must end.” Echoing ongoing right-wing attacks on trans athletes, Roberts also claims, “Bureaucrats at the Department of Justice force school districts to undermine girls’ sports and parents’ rights to satisfy transgender extremists.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; TIME magazine, 5/16/22] Dame Magazine reports that Project 2025 plans to use the Department of Justice to crack down on states that “do not charge LGBTQ people and their allies with crimes under the pretense that they are breaking federal and state laws against exposing minors to pornography.” [Dame Magazine, 8/14/23] Project 2025 also calls for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to repeat “its 2016 decision that CMS could not issue a National Coverage Determination (NCD) regarding ‘gender reassignment surgery’ for Medicare beneficiaries.” The policy book’s HHS chapter continues: “In doing so, CMS should acknowledge the growing body of evidence that such interventions are dangerous and acknowledge that there is insufficient scientific evidence to support such coverage in state plans.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Going further, Project 2025 also demands that the next GOP administration “reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military.” The policy book’s chapter on the Defense Department claims: “Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service, and the use of public monies for transgender surgeries … for servicemembers should be ended.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023]   …summaries of what’s within the rest of the document re: LGBTQ+ concerns. A person can believe their gender is fixed but incongruent with their physiology, but the authors and Trump (by his own words) just see the incongruity of an “expressed gender” that conflicts with what was/is in a person’s pants.

      Good catch… I took care of it.

      I'm tired of the two-party system.  It has degraded to a system where there are only two diametrically opposed views, neither of which supports me.  I have conservative views regarding big government and government spending but I have very liberal views when it comes to protecting the rights of individuals.  And just elections of the past, I am stuck with two choices, neither of which I support. With only two parties, each with agendas that are off the left and right scales, I am not adequately represented.    Finally, I'm okay with party affiliated politicians running for office using their party views, but once elected to office, they are obligated to support the entire electorate not just the electorate members that voted for them.  Plain and simple, our government system is broken and dysfunctional.  I'll step down from my soapbox now.

      Thanks Mae.  She was an amazing friend and I grew to love her like a sister.

      I did Ashley.  Non-rev travel was one of the major factors for taking the job.  At the time, US Airways had the best non-rev policy in the industry.  It cost $10 to fly coach and $25 to fly first class.  We flew first class whenever there were seats available.

      You should have a moderator fix what you meant to write as "birth certificate".  Ooops.   I've gone over that verse and am wholly and completely dissatisfied with the SBC exegesis of it, so much so that it was one of the things that helped me break out of a mindset of guit.  Sometime I may strut by stuff as a Hebraist and show what it really means.

      I found this   — 450 — Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise Goal #1: Protecting Life, Conscience, and Bodily Integrity. The Secretary should pursue a robust agenda to protect the fundamental right to life, protect con- science rights, and uphold bodily integrity rooted in biological realities, not ideology. From the moment of conception, every human being possesses inherent dignity and worth, and our humanity does not depend on our age, stage of development, race, or abilities. The Secretary must ensure that all HHS programs and activities are rooted in a deep respect for innocent human life from day one until natural death: Abortion and euthanasia are not health care. A robust respect for the sacred rights of conscience, both at HHS and among gov- ernments and institutions funded by it, increases choices for patients and program beneficiaries and furthers pluralism and tolerance. The Secretary must protect Americans’ civil rights by ensuring that HHS programs and activities follow the letter and spirit of religious freedom and conscience-protection laws. Radical actors inside and outside government are promoting harmful identity politics that replaces biological sex with subjective notions of “gender identity” and bases a person’s worth on his or her race, sex, or other identities. This destructive dogma, under the guise of “equity,” threatens American’s fundamental liberties as well as the health and well-being of children and adults alike. The next Secretary must ensure that HHS programs protect children’s minds and bodies and that HHS programs respect parents’ basic right to direct the upbringing, education, and care of their children.   https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-14.pdf   First, that is not much, if that is all that is of concern.  Secondly, I have seen all sorts of anti-Trump slander, including the Steele dossier and the lawfare he is now undergoing, to be cynical of any criticism against him, and indirectly this document.    He deserves some of what he is getting, but not all.  Thirdly, I bolded one statement of concern.   I don't think gender identity is subjective.  "Radical actors" is name calling, and there is a lot of that going around.  Maybe I am not seeing everything of concern or reading this right, but i would discuss with the author of this document concerning this.

      Good evening   well I finally finished reading my textbook.  Yeah.  But I still have a lot more to go for the class.     My endocrinologist always asks me about lactation.  And yes I have had some very small amounts of leakage but not on any regular basis.  I figure I blocked the discharge Duce when I pierced my nipples with scare tissue.  But who knows.  I also get asked about mammograms.  I e had my first or baseline and this fall I will need to schedule my second.   As someone in the midst of studying the Old Testament, I can say that I haven’t found any mention of pending damnation for being transgender or intersex.  The closest it comes is a verse that says men should not wear women’s clothing.  Now I don’t know each and everyone’s particulars, but I know I meet the medical definition of female gender, and even in Ohio, a State that until recently refused to allow birth certificates to be changed, I meet the criteria.  Therefore I can only conclude I am not a man wearing women’s clothing.  But there is a somewhat different scholarly explanation of that law that it should not be taken as literally as the haters want.  Mostly men should not pretend to be women to ex ape from their enemies. Or tried to hide from God.     willow

      Well, the left wing has been doing that.    I read a few things while trying to find out what the problem is and liked what I read.  But I am a conservative.    Is there something specific in there that is of concern?  Does it promise somewhere to erase trans folk? That would be problematic.
    • Ivy
      It's a plan to basically completely take over the government by the right wing.

      I'm actually in Asheville tonight.  Some of the people in the support group invited me for dinner after the meeting.  We're going to get together again tomorrow again. It's been nice, 4 trans women and 1 trans man, together ar a restaurant.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I found https://www.project2025.org/policy/   I will have to read it.  I have not.  What is of concern?   The link provided earlier goes back to this forum.

      'Nuff said. Yeah I'm not thrilled with Biden either. There are some conservative ideas I'm good with.  And I do feel that the current Democratic party is too cozy with the bankers and wealthy.  But despite all their talk, when it comes down to it, so are the Republicans.  And it's not the Dems calling for our eradication. Unfortunately, I see this election as existential for trans folks.

      Good evening everyone,   @Birdie your CNA Is ill informed about breast and proper bra fitting.   My wife and I are checking out a campground up in Michigan just a little North of Saginaw, MI. We had a great meal at a local tavern serving delicious perch fillet dinner.   We’re going to check out the Saginaw,MI Bay area for summer time activities for when we come back on occasion. We belong to a camping club call Adventure Outdoors and have free camping at their resorts around Michigan and Ohio.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
