Lack of understanding of genderqueer

As you can see from my profile, I identify as genderqueer. Have always (45 years) been a kaiki (?sp). When I'm with a womon, I tend to go to the exact place that would equalize the genders. You know, if she's on the butch side of center, I'll unconsciously slide to femme of center and vice versa. Don't realize I've done it until someone mentions it months later.

Last week my doctor and I got into a discussion about testosterone injections. Okay, I brought it up. What can I expect? What changes? My Partner seems to think it will help me emotionally. Give me a sense of well being and confidence that I lack. Sounds like a good idea, but I only know what I've read in medical literature.

Anyone have any personal experiences they want to share?

I can't help you with that myself but there are a few threads on testosterone already that could be helpful for you.

ETA: If you have questions about T, you probably should go in threads where that is discussed, which is mainly Trans threads. Here are some examples:

Linus has two threads that might be helpful. One is the Braveheart thread and one is the Ask a Trans person thread. DapperButch has a Questions for Transguys thread. Sam has a FTMs and transitioning thread. Girl_on_Fire has a Transgender Disclosure in Dating thread, which might also be useful in a different way. lettertodaddy has a Loving a Transman thread and Zora77 has a Dating a Transperson isn't Easy thread, which could give you insight into the relationship dynamic part of it.

These were found in the first 5 pages I pulled in my search. There are many more, but I'm limited on time this morning.

Good luck!
