Androgyny, hermaphroditism, coincidence? more indicators...

[Evolver]

Moobzie, JoniDee, taxmapper - you guys have described perfectly what happens to the male body when hormones levels are out of whack. I have done far too much research over the last year or so about the expected physical effects of hormone therapy on my body which I expect to start next year for medical purposes, depending on test results. Soft skin, body fat redistribution, gynecomastia, muscle loss, thinning body hair, etc. etc., I've known about for a long time. For me, I can only speculate. 

There are several other changes that you guys are probably already aware of that might affect y'all depending on your actual hormone levels, but some of the unpleasant side effects only seem to affect those with low E levels. This is something that I will probably have to deal with too, because my E will be killed off with my T. Interestingly, the best way to deal with these unpleasant side effects (hot flashes in particular) is to take an estrogen supplement. Combined with my proposed T-blocker this would, in effect, put me on the same drug regime as folk in some countries like the U.K. take to transition. Interesting times ahead!

Sorry if it sounds like I'm trying to make this about me; it's not intentional. Just letting y'all know that even though I'm not experiencing any dramatic physical involuntary feminization yet, I understand it.

By the way Moobzie - nice pins!

My interest in this grows for many reasons other than physical.
 
Because of my curious nature and desire to be better informed, I started reading books on various esoteric knowledge that few seem interested in. but books written on the subject and various cultures that were physically written in the 1900's and 1910's and earlier make statements (although from a distinct Euro-Anglo point of view) that talks about androgyny in history, religion and belief systems.
 
Learning about the six genders of Judaism, and the hermaphroditical aspects of various figures like Hermes (AKA Thoth in Egypt) and other figures like Hr m-Akht, (Horus) (mostly considered to be mythological) or stories about people like the Machlyes, and terms like the Mexican  Xōchihuah, "One who possesses aspect of a woman" and Patlacheh "one who possesses aspect of a male"  still speaks to the recognition of this situation.
 
To say being deprived is an understatement for sure.
 
Me thinks that the modern culture which has been described as a Victorian Era whitewash of history and strict rules of defined superiority of a specific nature may be partially to blame on this and is being systematically torn apart.
 
I am also of the opinion that this may only be the opening of a long closed door; to use a metaphor. 
 
 
Just sayin….

So another interesting aspect started. 

I wont rehash the whole story, just that I wound up purchasing a pair of women's boots with a 2 inch heel. 

That I discovered lifted by backside like what is suppose to happen and deep rooted lumbar pain went away. 


the other half looked at my butt and said that it was lifted slightly and looked a bit more prominent. 

All I know is that the lumbar pain and the arch pain I have experienced for years went away. 

IDK.

I will try that. It might save me a trip to the chiropractor even month.👍

My ring and index fingers are the same length. I was a preemie baby (7 months).

My ring fingers are noticeably longer than my index fingers. This makes me a 100 per cent male. But my feeling some years ago was 60 per cent male, 40 per cent female. Meanwhile it could be 60 to 70 per cent female and only 30 to 40 per cent male. Heck with the finger test!

As I have grown and gotten to know myself, I realized that I was / am a woman. Not because of my breasts but, because of my brain.

I have always maintained that the wiring is as different as the plumbing.  Women are running different software.

Well one thing that is haunting me again is acne. 

I have been breaking out in weird places and I feel like I am 17 again. 

[Gotboobs]

Been happening to me also. Asked my doctor about it and he said just happens with hormone imbalance. Told my wife I understand now what she went through with menopause. Hormones do crazy things to the mind and body.

Now I DEFINATLY know something is going on! 

Last night I went to take my shower and while soaping up, I experienced something I have NEVER IN MY LIFE had...

A near total body orgasm.   

I was literally squirming in the shower. 

yes I know TMI for some folks, but what it means is that the hormones are affecting me in a unexpected way. 
I suddenly had eroginous zones in places I never had eroginous zones before!  

Not freaked out or alarmed, but more aware now.    Its weird!
