Trans Androgynous

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, and perceive their gender as separate or more specific to other similar nonbinary identities.

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 more specific identity from other nonbinary and transgender identities. Their pronouns vary per person, but typically a trans andro person rejects the pronouns given to them at birth in favour of other options.

History of the Term

The first appearance of the term "trans andro" appears to be from tumblr user "transandro" in 2012, though the term is naturally constructed.

Further Context

The term androgyny can be interpreted in different ways, such as presentation, gender identity, or intersex. Therefore, identifying as trans androgynous is more specific and accurate to their identity.
