Me fr. Like no I don’t owe you androgyny. Yes I love androgyny and being visually nonbinary. (Idk I know that’s not a thing but that’s my best wording)

I mean I’m maybe an enbie and even if not I have so much fun confusing people who don’t know my gender. I place bets every shift at work whether they will call me she/her/ma’am or he/him/sir

Am I the exact stereotype of the androgynous AFAB white skinny enby? Yes. But that’s cuz that’s what I like, not cuz it’s what you told me to be <3 enbies and all trans folks don’t owe you any appearance, attitude, or expression. We may occasionally owe you money tho. I’ll get that $20 to you soon I swear-

I dont owe you shit, YOU however owe *me* that delicious look of confusion and self doubt.

Kinda weird how the stereotype for enbies is androgyny when being enby, from my understanding, is about being neither male nor female. And the word androgynous means something along the lines of having male and female characteristics. As a genderfluid person, I try to look as non-gendered as possible most of the time. Not male or female or androgynous.

Agender is hard in practical terms because we have a built-in system for “gendering” everything. I suppose the word could be “gender-ambiguous,” but even then not perfect

I needed this today. I'm AFAB. I normally dress very androgynous and it's what people associate with me. But I've internalized it so much that I never wore dresses because it breaks my normal androgynous style. That somehow it invalidates my identity because I'm wearing more feminine clothes. I logically know I don't owe people anything, it's just the struggles of being queer, feeling like I constantly need to prove my identity

My gf (genderfluid) uses "positive" and "negative" androgyny to describe exactly what you're talking about! To her, positive androgyny is like pouring masculinity and femininity into a cup (you) and swirling it around, and negative androgyny is like pouring non-gendered liquids into the cup. Maybe that kind of terminology or smth similar would be useful to you?
