taratemimaSo it is skewed to MtF issues, and more folks will be offended by the 'girls like writing and boys like math,' but I did find an interesting result from this test.
Your COGIATI result value is: 45 Which means that you fall within the following category:
COGIATI classification THREE, ANDROGYNE
What this means is that the Combined Gender Identity And Transsexuality Inventory has classified your internal gender identity to be essentially androgynous, both male and female at the same time, or possibly neither.
In some cultures in history, you would be considered to be a third sex, independent of the polarities of masculine or feminine. Your gender issues are intrinsic to your construction, and you will most likely find your happiness playing with expressing both genders as you feel like it.
SUGGESTIONS FOR ACTION:
Your situation is a little tricky in our current society, but not tremendously so, depending on your geographic location.
The suggestions for your circumstance are not overly complicated.
1. If you have any comfortability about your gender expression, some slight degree of counseling might well prove helpful. The primary goal would be to make it possible for you to enjoy your gender expressions free from any shame or embarrassment, and to resolve any remaining questions you might have.
2. As an androgynous being, both genders, and both sexes are natural to your expression. Permanent polarization in either direction might bring significant unhappiness. It is not recommended that you go through a complete transsexual transformation. You might find a partial transformation of value, if you find yourself more attracted overall to the feminine. You are more likely a transgenderist, than a transsexual. It is recommended that you recognize that your gender issues are real, but that extreme action regarding them should be viewed with great caution.
3. If you have not already, consider joining any of the thousands of groups devoted to gender play of various varieties. There is literally a world of friends to discover who share your interests. There are also publications, vacations, and activities that would expand your gender play.
I'm going to admit something. Sometimes I want to dress up as a male fop. Sometimes Edwardian, sometimes Brian Ferry. I kinda wonder if I should update my wardrobe with some sort of natty suit and oxford shoes. Unfortunately, my animus weighs less than I do. I don't have a thin woman waiting to get out, I have a thin man!
On another note, I am not eating leftover fried food for breakfast ever again. God, my mom is going nuts with the fryolator her boyfriend got her. At least I overcompsated by drinking V-8 for lunch and a salad for dinner.
