If we g...I must disagree with you again there Anon. If we go with the premise that God (or Goddess..) makes no mistakes...then we must account for the creation of intersexed people. They; to varying degree, are a mix of male and female physically. Androgyn (and some similar identities) are mentally a mix of male and female, and most of strive to have our outer bodies reflect that. <br />Such identities didn't "spring out of cyber space" since we can look at many tribal people who have accepted 3, 5, and 7 different genders; and have for a very very long time. Far before the advent of the internet. To say the least.

You seem to have all these different "issues", yet no clear approach to dealing with them. <br /><br />You seem to self diagnose,picking and choosing your own "therapies".<br /><br />You make reference to your menstrual cycle, but only in reaction to your getting off birthcontrol. I mean female puberty is difficult at best.<br /><br />According to wikipedia, thi is a mental issue which seems to have been exacerbated by your self-medication. Then out of left field comes this relationship witha transitioning transgender woman.<br /><br />I am sorry. I must be getting old. All this gender stuff just seems much too complicated.<br /><br />I am not particularly religeous, but it seems to me that God made us all male or female. This genderthing just seems to have appeared out of cyberspace or some other weird dimension.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2944818126005964967.post-6718929584874796962012-10-09T14:04:35.003-07:002012-10-09T14:04:35.003-07:00Hi Anon, thanks so much for going and doing a bit ...Hi Anon, thanks so much for going and doing a bit of research! <br />here's an old (but still applicable) entry about how I came to terms with being androgyn. <a rel="nofollow">http://candiussellcorner.blogspot.com/2010/03/speaking-my-truth.html</a><br />I will answer your question directly though and say that I did try very hard to balance my female hormones (as I was born female) in hopes that cycling "properly" and frequently enough would help alleviate my issues. It didn't help at all. <br />I might ask though...would you suggest trans* woman take testosterone to alleviate/fix their transgender feelings?Sevanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09604138864893003363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2944818126005964967.post-55313445127981687262012-10-09T14:03:39.421-07:002012-10-09T14:03:39.421-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sevanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09604138864893003363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2944818126005964967.post-10734925891773568062012-10-09T09:19:59.055-07:002012-10-09T09:19:59.055-07:00Thank you.

This may be as in fashion, sexual identity, or sexual lifestyle, or it may refer to biologically inter-sexed physicality, especially with regards to plant and human sexuality.[1]<br /><br />It goes on to describe someone who, "does not fit neatly into the typical masculine and feminine gender roles of their society. They may also use the term ambigender or polygender to describe themselves. Many androgynes identify as being mentally "between" woman and man, or as entirely genderless. They may identify as non-gendered, genderneutral, agendered, between genders, genderqueer, multigendered, intergendered, pangender or gender fluid".[citation needed]<br /><br />So lots of new words there, but I get the idea.<br /><br />So now I am wondeing how the testosterone helps?

I take Testoerone. I am an androgyn. Someone who is between male and female. I'm not "a woman like you" that's the problem.

Like you, if I stand naked in front of a mirror, I see a woman.<br /><br />When I dress, I wear what is appropriate. If I am just hanging around the house, depending on the weather, I am usually wearing comfortably casual clothes. Shorts or a skirt if it is warm, a longer skirt or slacks if it is cold.<br /><br />If I am out grocery shopping the same applies. I do not see the problem with "gender appropriate presentation".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
