Androgyny

Hey everyone! I am a “woman” (I use the term woman loosely because I’m not sure whether or not I identify with this label) and Ive always wanted to dress more androgynous but have always struggled to do so. I would say my current style is hyperfeminine with the occasional “masculine” outfit (for me this usually means pants and a utility-type shoe/sneaker with a button down or any collared shirt). When I look online for fashion inspo, I most commonly see androgyny represented as a masculine presenting person dressing more feminine, or the opposite. This is unhelpful to me because I don’t want to dress “masculine”. I want to look androgynous. Not masculine or feminine. I love fashion and have spent a lot of years creating my personal style and finding what I love to wear and it really bums me out to not be able to create the exact look that I want. Any tips or advice on experimenting with androgyny? Are there any places or people you go to look for androgynous style inspiration?

Surgery questions…

So, I guess this is NSFW due to the topic of surgeries. You see, I’ve identified as androgynous for about a year now. I haven’t started HRT because I am taking things slowly with my wife as this is a bit of a shock to her. At some point, if it isn’t banned I would like to get SRS to fully transition. I am thinking of getting an orchi and a vaginoplasty, while keeping my garden hose as well. The thing is, I don’t know for one if that is a possibility. If so, would the new vagina have any sensation? I guess I am wondering what some of your experiences are and what if any resources you can suggest to aid me in my research.

Worried I will always be seen as a gay man.

My ideal presentation of gender is atleast butch adjacent, which means that I am quite concerned that I will never be perceived as anything other than a man.

I've considered that if I were to dress in a more feminine way than I am actually comfortable with I might be able to make clearer that I do not wish to perceived as a man, however this is not really what I want.

I do not believe I would ever be perceived as having the gender that I desire from any people outside of those I've already discussed it with.

I enjoy wearing jewellery, some makeup, etc, but for this I am not seen as anything more than a gay man.

I feel like this would be particularly common in this space? I am unsure how to cope with this feeling.

Apologies if this is a downer.

Advice for getting androgynous voice?

So I've been wondering some things and wanting advice ig? So for trans/androgynous voices, once you learn how to make your "default" voice, can you still change to your natural voice at will?

Also, advice for learning how to get an androgynous voice? I know one step is to find a voice that you want to sound close to, and I already did that, ​but idk what to do next.

(for reference, some of my "voice picks" (idk) are a bit controversial​😅, but im just referring to them for the voices that I've heard before that i connect with/honestly gave me voice envy lmao, pls don't judge​😅🙏)

Talking voice; BungoTaiga, Aster Arcadia, (and others, will write when I remember them, lmao)

Singing voice; Uki Violeta, Luka from ALNST​

(Also, if anyone knows any similar voices, pls let me know, it would help a lot)

Any advice/answers would be a great help.🙏

AFAB; I wish I could look pretty and fem but still have it be obvious somehow that I'm a boy...

I'd describe myself as bigender I guess, or maybe some sort of trans masc nonbinary person? I'm pretty content with my body, though I am working out to get more slim + masc looking rather than curvy, and I have a boy hairstyle that I love. It's just that I don't want to be seen as a girl who looks boyish, but a boy who is also a girl, if that makes sense? I haven't found the right words to describe it. I don't want more body hair or a deeper voice, as far as I can tell at this moment. I mostly use she/they, but prefer masc terms like sir, man, etc.

I watched Hazbin Hotel for the first time recently and said to my sister that I think Angel and I are the same gender lol. He's male but loves being fem, even so far as "shaping his chest fluff to look like boobs." There's no gender label for him beyond that he uses he/him though.

Any insight would be much appreciated!

Any advice on buying clothes for androgynous man

So I’m a guy in my early 20s living in the UK, I don’t identify as non binary per se but my body is not, let’s say the ‘typical male physique’ (with wider hips, a slimmer waist, thin neck and small shoulders).

And I’m finding that most of my long sleeve collard shirts, including new ones I try to buy are always to large around the neck and to wide in the area between my armpits and my waist line, even in size S (which can be problem since at that point the shirt can be too small to tuck into my trousers)

Was wondering if somebody had a similar problem and if so if they’re any shops where they’re could possibly be some better fitting ‘masculine’ shirts for people with my body shape, as I obviously cannot afford to get everything bespoke.

Thx for any advice you might have

We're not going anywhere

Just because Trump got back into office doesn't mean the community is going anywhere. Sure things are going to be tough and his supporters are going to be emboldened after tonight but the LGBTQIA+ community is a hell of a lot stronger than this

Help. What do you do when you want to present both fem and masc?

I’m like semi-new in exploring my gender identity spectrum. Grew up in a really traditional religious family, but from childhood I’ve always wished I could be a boy.

Started to cut my hair really short last year, like a real man haircut. Style-wise, I don’t change much because I’m already a tomboy, but the hair confuses a lot of people because they think I was a boy, and in some ways, it felt gender reassuring. I had a BLAST with that haircut, and I felt like I was the most accepting to how I look when I’m masc presenting. And then growing the hair was the most fun process of it all, because I love long hair and fem presenting too.

My hair is already long now. Back then I cut it because I felt so ready to be masc presenting, but this time around, I don’t have that urge yet. But I feel gender envy when I see my friends have good masc haircuts, and I really want to have that short men haircut again. But also at the same time I still want to be feminine presenting and I feel like I want long hair too:(

What do you do when you want to sometimes present as masc and sometimes present as fem?

(I have a bf, he supported me the first time I cut my hair. I asked him how he would feel if i cut my hair again and he said something along the lines of i don’t want to be mistaken with a boy (or he doesn’t want me to be mistaken as a boy). But he says that it doesn’t matter what he thinks because it’s my body and I can cut my hair however I want. I think something about this is making me hesitant to cut it again but oh well)

I wanted to add my pic rocking the man haircut but it doesn’t allow images lol.

I had my enby awakening today

I had no idea just how badly my gender dysphoria was affecting me. I'm still kind of in shock at what happened today but... I've been having thoughts lately, and ive been troubled with loneliness and self hate, so i branched out and started exploring other communities, including role reversal. I saw somebody who looked like me in some cosplay and he was... beautiful. I realized that it really could be me. I dont have to pretend to be something I hate.

I've been so disgusted with myself just because I was presenting masc and i didn't want to. I had just given up on being effeminate because I felt there was no space for me to be soft or sensitive. In addition, due to previous trauma and a long relationship with a predator, I began to pack on confrontational and masculine traits in a successful bid to intimidate people, I had begun to deeply hate it.

All the pain ive been through in service of denying my own identity.

And now that im trying... it works, i look good this way, i feel good this way. I feel confident. I actually feel attractive, and like I might draw the kind of women I enjoy. I feel calm for the first time ever. I feel that im actually signalling for the kind of partner id like to find now. I denied the importance of having identity, but I had no idea how much of your life is attached to it.

That's it i guess, im usually much more verbose but im just in shock. this is pretty raw for me. I feel like I could cry, and i never cry.

Afab person who doesn't want HRT but wants a more masculine body/face?

Title is pretty self-explanatory. I don't want to go through HRT mainly bc I already have some issues with my liver, with my overall health, and a hairy body/T dick is not what I'm looking for.

All I want is a more masculine body, face, and possibly a deeper voice, but I'm definitely not aiming for a Manly Man appearance. Just a bit in-between.

Any advice on this? Any tips, exercises, routines or any other ideas you can come up with would be vey helpful.

(Also, I heard I could microdose, but I have no idea how that works, if anyone can help me with that it'll be much appreciated).

Trying to find similar outfits

I really love this outfit. For me at least it really hits the nail on the head for gender fluidity.

https://www.candymanfashion.com/products/candyman-99575-bodysuit

I want to find similar pieces, specifically a romper with the shorts/cheeky cut.

Anyone seen anything like that? How should I search for it?

Does anyone have tips for facial androgyny?

So I'm Amab and I have not the most masculine face but like masculine enough that it could never be perceived as anything else and obviously I don't neeeed to be androgynous but I'm really dysphoric about it and I was wondering if anyone had any tips on what I could do to change my appearance? I know makeup is the most obvious but I don't have the time, money or effort to do a full face every day and I'm not sure how much it would even help

I don't know which path is the right one for me

I try to keep it short. I always wanted to be a woman, and if there were a magical button, I would press it immediately. But since this button doesn't exist, I have to consider which alternative is the best option for me. For years, I've been wondering whether I should take HRT and live my life openly as a trans woman. I've already started hormones twice (for 2 weeks each time) and stopped out of fear of the consequences (poor passing, reactions from friends and family, etc.). Now, I'm taking hormones for the third time and am on the verge of stopping again for the same reasons as before.

I wonder if maybe it's just not right for me, even though I know I'd rather live as a woman. I wonder if it might be better for me to live my life as a man but stop presenting myself as a 'classic' man—giving in to my needs, shaving my legs, wearing nail polish, and dressing more femininely. I wonder if that would be enough for me.

Has anyone else experienced something similar? Has anyone made a similar decision and is happy with it? Or does anyone have another alternative I could try? I just don't know if transitioning is the right path for me.

Androgynous like the Angels

I'm on the cusp of my gender journey and I'm leaning towards androgyny, and genderless-gender fluid. I like presenting masculine but I'd like to appear softer like St. Michael the Archangel, that entity is just gender goals for me. my question being how do I start living " I can do both, I can do both" mentality?
