There are two types of androgyny, physical and psychological. Those that look androgynous or are intersex fall under physical androgyny. Those who's gender identity is androgynous fall under psychological androgyny. Some people are both physically and psychologically androgynous. Androgynous fashion is a way to express psychological androgyny since the clothing one wears expresses one's gender identity.

i'm androgynous.i think i knew i always was.from very on i knew i was different from the other boys, and i was wayyyy different from the girls(because of my body).i played with girls and their stereotypical games(dolls,dress up,singing dancing ect.) and i played with boys and their stereotypical games(cars,action figures,sports, guns/war ect.)but it was all me.i sometimes would imagine myself as a girl, sometimes as a boy.i've become content in androgyny.society will always gender me, i don't.

I think Androgyny is more closer to God. But to understand that we need to know what or who God is. Or maybe this thought is from the Hitchhikkers Guide to the Galaxy. But if it could be found in the Guide, I couldn't write about it here because of some Universal Copyright law. So maybe I'll just stick with my first sentence so no Vogon would read me any of his poetry. Mine's better anyway.

@Superspaceify I'm the opposite in many ways, I'm a gay male but I don't subscribe to the way in which society expects me to dress or act. I look quite feminine in many ways, I wear female clothing often mixed with male clothing, make-up, even my haircut is unisex, so often people ask whether I'm male or female... like yourself, I used to try on my mam's high heels as a child and wanted to play with girls and dolls and such... :D

androgny to me is very beautiful i can't really say i act like a man even though i have the form of one i am however attracted toward females but i'm very emotional and mostly shy but i don't like bossy people.

To some people androgyny might not be about rendering the idea of labels obsolete, but about describing their inner state, independent of the existence or non-existence of labels.

Something about the conclusion of the video bothers me a bit. She says androgyny fails because it becomes the very thing it was trying to break apart: gender labels/groups. With that she´s assuming that androgynous people exist because they want to break away from strong femininity or strong masculinity just for the sake of going against what´s established, as opposed to doing it because they feel both feminine and masculine or gender neutral.

@Mariucciaorbist Dont worry. Im in the exact position as you! But to the inverse. I am a Manly_Girl. I like to look cute and all, but i just dont fit in the girly girl attitude and appereance. Im very impulsive, sometimes rough, and like to be practical. I pursue masculinity for myself because i like men so much. But still the men who im most atracted to are androgynous. I just feel that androgynous are somehow in a balance. I want that balance for me and for my partner.

i guess you would consider me a androgonist (lol idk if i spelled that right)....i mean i have real short hair and im a girl who wears boy clothes but im not a tomboy and have been totally breaking gender stereotypes even when i was a child like at four i was just taking off my shirt in the backyard and not wearing bandanas and i even look kind of boyish so huh....i think thats actually pretty cool X3
