    '''Androgyne''' is an identity under the [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] umbrella. It is described as being simultaneously [[Man|male]] and [[Woman|female]] or in between male and female, or as being simultaneously [[masculine]] and [[feminine]] or in between masculine and feminine. Some androgyne individuals may identify as [[bigender]], with one masculine gender and one feminine gender, while others may identify as a single gender that is somewhere in between man and woman or masculine and feminine, but not completely one or the other. Some androgyne individuals also feel a connection to [[Neutral|neutrality]].

    Androgyne should not be confused with androgynous. Androgynous is a [[Gender Presentation|gender presentation]] where someone presents with a mix of masculine and feminine features or in a gender neutral way. Not all androgyne individuals will present androgynously, and not all individuals who present androgynously are androgyne. Androgynous is a quality that a gender or gender presentation can have, but it is not a gender on its own.

    The alternate androgyne flag was created by an unknown individual on or before August 24, 2015.<ref>https://www.deviantart.com/pride-flags/art/Androgyne-2-555850649</ref> Black and white represent how androgyne, while it is a non-binary gender, is somewhat a more [[Binary Genders|binary]] than other identities. It weaves between male and female comfortably, and doesn’t tend to stray beyond the binary, unlike other identities. Blue represents masculinity, be it identity-wise or aesthetically. It represents the masculine traits that androgyne individuals possess, as well as those who are on the more masculine side of the identity. Pink represents femininity, identity-wise or aesthetically. It represents the feminine traits that androgyne individuals possess, as well as those who are on the more feminine side of the identity. Purple represents a comfortable blending of masculinity and femininity to make the unique identity that androgyne individuals are. Purple also represents androgyne being a non-binary identity.

    Another alternate androgyne flag was created by Milith Rusignuolo on July 2, 2015.<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20180210192310/https://avia-viridis.neocities.org/flags.html</ref> Pink and green represents androgynes whose position on the gender spectrum changes, or who use the term interchangeably with other terms. Fuchsia represents femandrogynes, or androgynes who are more feminine than masculine. Purple represents versandrogynes or neutrandrogynes, who are relatively equally feminine and masculine. Blue represents mascandrogynes, or androgynes who are more masculine than feminine.

    Another alternate androgyne flag was created by wrennnnnnnnn and post on r/QueerVexillology on June 19, 2020. Orange is used as a lesser known masculine color, one that doesn't play off of the pink vs. blue aesthetic. Purple, similarly, is an alternate feminine color. The white in the middle represents an absence of gender, same as on the genderqueer and non-binary flags. The Necker Cube is used in the middle as an androgyne symbol. The teal is a mixture of two colors, both gendered on opposite sides of the binary.
