[QUOTE]Originally posted by patrickvienna: [QB] Hi all! So I started identifying as genderqueer or androgynous probably about a year ago, I went through a long period of thinking I was trans (MTF) but I've come to realise I'm more happy somewhere other than the two genders I was brought up to know about. So now I dress a mixture of sometimes quite feminine, sometimes more butch - I haven't really figured out how specifically I present. I go back and forth about even whether or not I have a beard, for example, or whether I shave. I don't really see genderqueer as a temporary identity, though (except in the sense that everything is probably temporary): I guess I intend to carry on questioning the way I present for a long time. I want to stay where I am by changing a lot all the time. I find it difficult presenting and identifying as queer or genderqueer sometimes: recently, as I've started presenting more femme sometimes, I get heckled more often on public transportation or in bars. I try to get in contact with friends who can give me support when that happens, but that can be tricky because a lot of London's public transportation is underground and things like phone signals don't work.
