i have polycystic ovarian syndrome. there are several medicines that can help to cure pcos, but they do so by blocking testosterone production. i identify as strongly genderqueer and i'm afraid that lowering my testosterone levels will make me change. i don't want to lose all of who i am, just for the sake of losing some weight. does anyone have any experience with this?

Hello

Hello everyone,
I just started my LJ and joined this community. My name is Em and I'll be all of 22 tomorrow. Golly! =)
There are a lot of terms (as in words, not rules) associated with this community that I don't necessarily understand, and I'm unsure of how to label myself (in fact, I really have no interest in labelling myself period, but I'm still a little confused nonetheless).
I've been active in the lesbian community in my area, but I'm beginning to view myself as something... well, not more, but there's another layer to my being a lesbian, I guess. I dress like a guy, and sometimes I even identify myself as male, but this is normally very fleeting. It's just that now, if someone were to ask me, "Who/what are you? How do you identify your sexuality?" I'd have to answer with, "Um... uh... yeah, uh... see..."
I kind of feel like I'm coming out of the closet all over again. Is 'transgendered' the word for it? Or are there other terms? Someone help!
