Androgynous

Template:AI-notice

The term "androgynous" refers to a blending of both male and female characteristics, either in appearance, style, behavior, or identity. An androgynous person or look combines elements traditionally associated with both genders, creating a balance that is not strictly male or female. This can apply to:

1. Appearance: Someone may have an androgynous look if their physical features or clothing choices are ambiguous in terms of gender. For example, short hairstyles, minimalist clothing, and a neutral or balanced style may be considered androgynous.
2. Gender Identity: People who identify as androgynous may not conform strictly to male or female gender roles, and they may experience or express their gender identity in a way that blends both traditionally masculine and feminine aspects.
3. Fashion and Culture: Androgynous fashion and design emphasize gender-neutral or unisex clothing, often characterized by simple lines, non-specific cuts, and clothing that avoids heavy emphasis on gender stereotypes.

In popular culture, androgynous figures are often celebrated for their unique and boundary-pushing expressions of identity, especially in music, fashion, and art. Some iconic androgynous figures include David Bowie, Tilda Swinton, and Andrej Pejić, among others.
