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 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 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.
