Neutrois?

[andrajames]

Anybody else in this community who is Neutrois? I was just wondering how other people who feel they're supposed to have a null-sexed body were addressing their dysphoria. Seems like any path towards removing existing sexual characteristics without gaining other ones or risking your long term health (due to lack of hormones) is problematic. This

"Male-assigned" is a word some use for that. Or "male assigned at birth."

Huh, that would sound like it would fit me perfectly if it weren't a little more extreme than I am. I don't hate my breasts and hips, for instance. But I don't 'feel' like either a girl or a boy. I always thought neutral was a good term for it...

I'd just been calling myself genderqueer since I found this community. Neutrois sounds like it would fit better, but now I'm uncertain as to whether I 'qualify'. Hmm.

I've only seen the term neutrois applied to those who feel body dysphoric to some extent or other (I'm not trying to make it an 'exclusive club', just that seems to be the usual definition). There are of course other ways to be nongendered/ungendered/agender identified that don't rely on there being a body dysphoric component.

I still identify more broadly as genderqueer even though I don't have much of a gender identity.

Well, I didn't say there wasn't ANY dysphoria, I just meant that there are parts of me I don't hate. I'm not exactly fond of my female genitals but I'm not exactly fond of the idea of having a penis, either.

I guess I don't see my breasts as a specifically female thing, which is why they don't bother me. I'd probably be happiest if I could have a gender neutral body while still keeping my breasts and hips. But I know a lot of people see those things as 'female'...

Sorry, I'm probably not really making any sense.

[andrajames]

Ah I see, sorry. You're making sense, I just misinterpreted.

i can relate to your experience, i just didn't know the term for it. Thanks for sharing, it really helped me.

i'm a little confused. how come you were a binder? I thought I understood that you were flat chested.

other than that i understand your post, for the most part and i wish you the best in getting through to where you want to be.

[andrajames]

I appear to have a flat chest because I wear a binder :p Thankfully I'm only 38AA anyway so it's not too uncomfortable.

I think that's similar to what I identify as. I used to consider myself MTF, but have been aiming more and more for gender-neutrality. As for labels I generally consider myself transgendered, or possibly eunuch-identified.
