Androgyne, or androgynous gender, is an identity under the nonbinary and transgender umbrellas. Androgyne individuals have a gender identity and/or gender expression that can be a blend of both or neither of the binary genders. They may describe this in terms of 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. Some people who use this label identify with androgyny as a gender presentation or have or wish to obtain an androgynous, 'in between', or neutral body, others see this as solely a matter of gender identity and may express their androgynous gender through their personality or activities such as crossdressing.
