'''Androgynous''' refers to the act of simultaneously having or showing qualities that are associated with both [[Feminine|femininity]] and [[Masculine|masculinity]]. It can involve behaviors, [[Gender Presentation|presentations]], and roles which were/are typically culturally associated with being a [[man]] and being a [[woman]]. Androgynous can be used as a description of one's gender, one's gender presentation, or both.
Androgynous should not be confused with [[androgyne]]. Androgyne is a specific gender that is a mix of male and female. Androgynous is a quality that a gender can have, but is not a gender identity on its own. Genders that are associated with androgyny include:
As a gender presentation, androgynous describes a presentation that incorporates some features that are indicative of men and some features that are indicative of women- for example, having facial hair and wearing make-up at the same time. Not all people with androgynous genders will present androgynously, and not all people who present androgynously have an androgynous gender. People of any gender or sexual orientation can present androgynously. The exact traits and qualities associated with androgyny are different based on the culture and time period.
