'''Androgyny''' is a wide category of [[gender expression]] that either mixes or omits markers of both [[gender expression#Feminine|feminine]] and [[gender expression#masculine|masculine]] gender expression. This can include [[vocal androgyny]], androgyny in [[clothing]] (such as [[genderfuck]]), and other forms of presentation and expression seen as androgynous. A person who looks androgynous may or may not intend to look so. | '''Androgyny''' is a wide category of [[gender expression]] that either mixes or omits markers of both [[gender expression#Feminine|feminine]] and [[gender expression#masculine|masculine]] gender expression.

An androgynous gender expression is different than an androgynous gender identity. A person who looks androgynous, or who calls their gender expression androgynous, doesn't necessarily call their [[gender identity]] [[androgyne]]. People with a [[nonbinary]] gender identity don't necessarily have or want to have an androgynous gender expression. That said, the difference between an identity and an expression are not always clear. Some androgynous gender identities and expressions include androgyne, [[bigender]], [[genderqueer]], [[intergender]], and [[yinyang ren]], although this depends on the individual's definition. | An androgynous gender expression is different than an androgynous gender identity.

A person who is transgender androgynous, also known as ''trans andro'', is a [[nonbinary]] [[transgender]] person who is androgynous and also may wish to [[transition]] to their desired body type. Trans andro people may or may not experience [[gender dysphoria]], and may or may not perceive their gender as separate or more specific to other similar nonbinary identities. | A person who is transgender androgynous, also known as ''trans andro'', is a [[nonbinary]] [[transgender]] person who is androgynous and also may wish to [[transition]] to their desired body type.

{{Quote|a term used to describe transgender people who are assigned male or female at birth, but identify with androgyny to a greater extent than masculinity or femininity. Androgyny in this case would be a mix of the binary genders, a lack of gender, or a mix of the binary genders and lack of gender.}} | |||
