Androgyne is the combination of any two genders or gender identities, usually man and woman, or genders related to masculinity and femininity, associated with androgyny.[1][2][3] Different from androgynous, it's used as a gender identity rather than being a gender expression or presentation.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

Terminology[change | change source]

The word is a mixture of ἀνδρ- (anér, andr-, andro-, man) and γυνή (gunē, gyné, gyne, woman).[11][12]
