I know that I am. People have a very hard time telling what gender I am. Everything about me is gender neutral, except I have a very deep voice for a woman. I'd guess you'd say it was dark brown. Another member at my clubhouse told me that I looked like a boy, the begining of last month, and I took it as a compliment. I'm also a Dandy, which is slang for Kinks Fan. I like to wear the more unisex looking clothes that they wore. Just as long as people don't know whether I'm male or female, I'll be the safest woman in Langley.

I don't think androgynous traits are any more or less prevalent among Aspies than among any other population.

I am gay, but I am not androgynous. My physical and emotional sex are consistent with each other and both are male. That's not to say that I don't have my overly dramatic moments, but I don't see those as androgynous so much as divergent from socially normalized male behaviour!

And androgynous-looking women. Come on, where's the love for them?


2 of my favorite female artists are somewhat androgynous, Sinead O'Connor and Joan Jett.

I'm a male that very much looks like a male and prefers males to look like males and females to look like females. In other words: I like my stereotypes.
