It's hard to understand genderqueer/agender/other gender. I am genderqueer and I struggle with it still and it's been years since I've been out to friends and the like. I dislike the gender binary because of gender roles and expectations. If someone finds comfort in it, it's all well, and you're respectful about it which is good too. It is a baffling thing I don't ever claim that being genderqueer etc is simple hahaha

I identify as androgyne, I'm mainly a mixture of genders and sometimes none at all. I prefer more masculine clothing, but I like to mix it with feminine clothing to express my androgyny better. I usually get called a 'she' though. Pronouns are my main problem at the moment.
Thanks for this!

I don't know, but agender or genderqueer comes closest.
Thanks for this!

Hmm, interesting thread . . . Well, while I am female, several years ago I used to sorta feel like a gay man in a womans body- then I sort just felt like a man in a womans body and now I'm sorta just neutral. While being attracted to both men and women, I don't really feel feminine nor masculine- though I guess I have super feminine habits I sorta feel like a eunich, but like to be girly sometimes, though am mostly a tomboy.
Thanks for this!

I think it's about time I posted on this. I saw this a long time ago but for some reason never responded. I'm an FtM trans-male. I'm currently pre-all-things-medical and not completely out, though I aim to look as male as possible and pass a good bit of the time. I do plan to fully transition sometime in hopefully the nearest future as possible. I've always felt like a guy but it first really hit me in kindergarten when I was able to get a good picture of the two genders and realized something was very wrong.
Thanks for this!

I am a transsexual man. I am almost a year on testosterone and plan to get top surgery whenever I can afford it. I'm out to everyone who matters and have lots of support from them. I consider myself extremely fortunate.

I guess, to be completely honest, I'd have to say that I identify as a "male" (not "man" but "male") who has an overwhelming compulsion to be female. I'd like to say that I identify as female.(A couple of kind individuals have even suggested that I look a wee bit androgynous...) But I've lived for so many decades with the idea that I was just a "male" who's head was screwed on backwards , that I don't think I can probably change the way I identify now.
Thanks for this!

You have what is known as androgyny if you want a label

I identify as a transgender man. I just passed 3 years on testosterone. Occasionally I wonder if I'm both genders at once, but there's not really a term for that, bigender doesn't really fit, and genderqueer is too broad. I want people to see me as a man. I want to identify as a man. But there's still that little girl I grew up as in there.
