In 2003, Livejournal user 36 created a community aimed at androgynes, defined as people who are "neither female nor male in appearance but something else (both, neither, in between or something else entirely)." 36 specified that they wanted a community for those presenting as androgynous in every-day life, rather than people interested in part-time gender transgression. | In 2003, Livejournal user 36 created a community aimed at [[Androgyne|androgynes]], defined as people who are "neither female nor male in appearance but something else (both, neither, in between or something else entirely)." 36 specified that they wanted a community for those presenting as androgynous in every-day life, rather than people interested in part-time gender transgression. | ||
The profile also notes that androgynes have a range of gender identities, including [[third gender]] and androgynously gendered (between male and female).
