    '''Androgyne'''(Latin from Greek, ''andras-'' "man" + ''gune'' "woman", pronounced AN-druh-jin, IPA: ˈan-dɹə-ˌdʒīn),<ref>http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/androgyne [https://web.archive.org/web/20230527213452/https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/androgyne Archived] on 17 July 2023</ref>  '''androgyn''' or '''androgynous gender''', is an identity under the [[nonbinary]] and [[transgender]] umbrellas. Some writers use androgyne as an umbrella  for many nonbinary genders.<ref>''Androgyne Online.'' http://androgyne.0catch.com/ [https://web.archive.org/web/20200206175358/http://androgyne.0catch.com:80/ Archived] on 17 July 2023</ref> Androgynes have a [[gender identity]] that can be a blend of both or neither of the [[binary gender]]s. They may describe this as being between [[female]] and [[male]], between man and woman, between masculine and feminine or simply 'in between.' They can also identify as neither feminine or masculine, or neither female and male. The symbol ⚨ is used to represent this gender identity.
     
    ==History==
    Historically, there have been some instances of people using the term ''[[bisexual]]'' to refer to androgynes, androgynous people, or [[intersex]] people. An example of the use of this word, found in pop culture, is in the 50th episode of the 2nd season of ''Star Trek'', "The Trouble with Tribbles", where Dr. McCoy refers to the tribbles (an alien species) as ''bisexual''.<ref>[http://www.chakoteya.net/StarTrek/42.htm The Star Trek Transcripts: The Trouble with Tribbles]: ''[...] it seems they're bisexual, reproducing at will. [...]'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20230705170956/http://www.chakoteya.net/StarTrek/42.htm Archived] on 17 July 2023</ref> The term was also historically used to refer to feminine gay men, with its masculine lesbian equivalent being gynander, around the late 19th century and early 20th century.<ref>{{Cite book|title=The Alyson Almanac: A Treasury of Information for the Gay and Lesbian Community|collaboration=Alyson Publications|publisher=Alyson Publications|year=1990|isbn=9781555830199|edition=2nd|location=Boston, Massachusetts|pages=58, 64}}</ref>
     
    The glossary in a 2003 anthology of essays on diversity of sex and gender defined "androgyne" as "someone who considers themselves to be both male and female. It can also mean someone who identifies as [[neuter]]."<ref>{{cite book|title=Finding the Real Me: True Tales of Sex and Gender Diversity|date=2003|url=https://archive.org/details/findingrealmetru00trac/page/n19/mode/2up|page=xviii|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220913110137/https://archive.org/details/findingrealmetru00trac/page/n19/mode/2up|archive-date=17 July 2023}}</ref>
     
    "Androgyne" has also been used as an umbrella term similar to [[nonbinary]], as in this quote from a 2010 encyclopedia:
    {{Quote|''Androgyne'' refers to individuals who assume or possess characteristics of both genders to feel emotionally complete. [...] An androgyne is a person who does not fit cleanly into the typical gender roles of his or her society. Androgynes may identify as beyond gender, between genders, moving across genders, entirely genderless, or any combination or all of these. Androgyne identities include [[pangender]], [[bigender]], [[ambigender]], nongendered, [[agender]], [[gender fluid]], or [[intergender]]. Androgyny can be either physical or psychological; it does not depend on birth sex and is not limited to [[intersex]] people.<ref>''Encyclopedia of Curriculum Studies'', page 894, SAGE Publications, 2010.</ref>}}
     
    In 1918, [[Jennie June]] published ''Autobiography of an Androgyne'', which has since been described as "a centerpiece for queer, trans, and gender studies of twentieth-century America."<ref>Scott Herring's introduction to the 2008 reprint of ''Autobiography of an Androgyne''</ref>
     
    In the 1980s, a trans-focused organization called the Human Outreach and Achievement Institute defined androgyne as "a person who can comfortably express either alternative gender role in a variety of socially acceptable environments."<ref>"Brochure for the Human Outreach and Achievement Institute."
