Hello I took the test once almost three months ago I got 135 then last night enfemme I took the test again and got 300 I was wondering if one of you guys has gotten results like this I think that while en femme I think freely and dont have any outside influences though it may be the other way round. Tell me what you think I think that it is weird that is for sure

Hi Stephanie and welcome to the forum!

My score was 270, but I must admit I wasn't dressed at the time. I didn't think that would have an affect, but you bring up a good point. It might have more influence than I thought.

Very interesting!

Again, welcome Stephanie!!!

Tina, don't be sorry for how you feel about your test results. That is one of the main reasons for this forum. This is that safe, loving, caring, and understanding, friendly places we get to come to where we can just be who and what we really are. Again, you have nothing to be sorry about how you scored and it was simply wonderful that you shared your score and feelings with us. Besides I too am alot like you in this area I love being a male that dresses, looks and does things as a woman.

Hi girls:

I took the COGIATI test last evening and got a -75: ANDROGYNE. It seems right . It brings up the words to one of my favorite sings when I was younger by the Rolling Stones: I'm just sitting on a fence." And I like the description it gives of androgyne: "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. "

Hi Laura,

There were a several who got the same rating.

I liked your analogy of the Rolling Stones song!

I think it's cool that you feel it fits. It's a really good test, I think.

Hi Beauty:

I thought I might be offended by the categorization, but the more I thought about it, it felt liberating. I really like the fact that in my own psyche I can be both genders or either gender. It just feels very comfortable. I have a very strong male identification--for example I love war movies and written accounts and sports (I played college football for a short while and still enjoy watching the game on television). And yet, I also have this emerging female identity. It's more than just the wonderful feel of femininity (the sumptouous delight in putting on a cute dress). It's a real identity co-existing wth my male side. It feels very natural and rooted in me. It's kind of scary (will it take me over?). But the COGIATI implied I could be both: have my cake and eat it too. My condition can be seen as a gift rather than a curse. I'm beginning to see it that way--thank God.

Is that how you feel?

Hugs,

Laura

Some of us think just being transgendered is a gift (regardless of your test score).
