Neutrois?
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 is made worse by the medical community being slow to recognise neutrois as being a 'real' orientation. I've been lucky in that regard and have felt able to be open with my therapist. Guess it might be harder for FtNs than MtNs since testosterone is probably not a wise option?
I am a natal male* and thought I might be MtF for a while but very quickly realised I wasn't when I started HRT. Appearing on the feminine side of androgynous rather than the masculine side is the lesser of two evils for me so I stayed on HRT but kept the estrogen dose low. Looking feminine-ish but having a flat chest seems a fairly good way of stopping people reading me as a cisgender male or female, though they often still insist on labelling me as one or the other despite my obviously non-binary appearance (grr). (I talked my transition choices in more detail here if you're curious).
I'm intending to have SRS without vaginoplasty this summer, I had given serious consideration to a full nullification but having some sexually functional discreet parts is unlikely to cause me significant dysphoria. The downside is I wear a binder a lot and I'm probably going to need top surgery eventually, but at least this way I avoid the health risks of having no hormones.
*Anybody know a better term than that? Genetic male doesn't really work as genotype doesn't always match phenotype. Biological doesn't really work either since estrogen and anti-androgens have overridden my biology to a fair extent.
