    Definition

    A person who is trans androgynous, also known as trans andro, is a nonbinary transgender person who is androgynous and also wishes to transition to their desired body type. Trans andro people may or not experience gender dysphoria.

    Presentation and Expression

    Trans androgynous people may or may not lean more toward a traditional masculine or feminine presentation as opposed to fully gender-neutral presentation. A trans andro person feels that their androgynous behaviour, personal identity, and/or presentation is a separate identity from other nonbinary and transgender identities. Their pronouns vary per person, but usually a trans andro person rejects the pronouns given to them at birth in favour of other options.

    History of the Term

    The coinage of the term "trans andro" appears to be from tumblr user "transandro" in 2012. Earlier usage may exist, but is difficult to find.

    Further Context

    Things a trans andro person might say:

    • "I'm androgynous and I transitioned to be even more (cute/handsome)!"
    • "I'm andro, but like... (girl/boy) andro?"
    • "I like to keep people guessing, but not too much."
    • "I am a (girl/boy) shaped ball of confusion"
    • "I love the boobs I got from taking estrogen!", sometimes followed by:
    • "I use sports bras to compress the boobs I got from taking estrogen."
