I'm sure that we are all acquainted with the concept of men or boys, and women or girls, and the instances of them feeling as if they belong in the body of the opposite sex. This isn't a rare thing.
However, people may be less familiar with people who identify as something in the middle. Either because they don't know it's an option (which was my case until I met Ludo) or because they do, but don't want to make it public because people will consider them delusional.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Androgynous
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genderqueer
That's a little bit of reading on the subject.
I myself, as I stated in my intro, identify as androgynous. I often try to pass as male to avoid feminine pronouns and expectations.
Which is kinda hard sometimes 'cause I'm scrawny and busty at the same time :/
But anyway!
Let the discussion begin!
Anything, everything that leaps to mind regarding the subject, bring it up! Even seemingly invasive questions are fine by me.
