Reclaiming Androgyny & The Text Book Definition
an·drog·y·nous /ænˈdrɒdʒənəs/ Show Spelled[an-droj-uh-nuhs]
–adjective 1.being both male and female; hermaphroditic. 2.having both masculine and feminine characteristics. 3.having an ambiguous sexual identity. androgynous 1620s, from L. androgynus, from Gk. androgynos "hermaphrodite, male and female in one," from andros gen. of aner "male" (see anthropo-) + gyne "woman" (see queen). Androgyne is attested from 1550s. it does not mean that i am butch and femme.... it does not mean that i give or take and it does not mean that i fuck and get fucked... which was what i was told i am and do...????? LOL them: how do you identify? iMe: androgynous Them: that means you are butch and femme Me: it means i am butch (synonymous with female) and can pass as male when i choose Them: no it means you give and take and you fuck and get fucked Me: oh wow... i suppose i should check out the glossary of terms??? not really in the mood for a battle of witt... i just let it slide after 10 tragic minutes that i will never regain though i am fully aware that whom ever it was merrily went on its' misguided way to re-educate others... and for that i apologise but i was not in the mood for yet a nother attack... (being an asshole sure is tiring) But the Fact Remains... i am reclaiming the word... ANDROGYNY when you have the ability to enter a bath house (male)...to pull out your late for the show at my club, drunken, coked up horny drag queen from room #7 with out being told 'hey no women allowed' or when you go to the male hustler clubs and old men by you drinks all night thinking you are chicken meat... then, my dear you are androgynous... whether one gives or takes is neither here nor there... whether one fucks or is fucked as well bears no consequence to the words' actual meaning... fact is... when you can 'naturally and unadulteratingly' pass as either gender... and /or are constantly reffered to in public as he, him, sir, mr.etc etc etc... chances are... taking it or not... you are androgynous... learn it...live it...love it... oh one more time for good measure... an·drog·y·nous /ænˈdrɒdʒənəs/ Show Spelled[an-droj-uh-nuhs] –adjective 1.being both male and female; hermaphroditic. 2.having both masculine and feminine characteristics. 3.having an ambiguous sexual identity. |

When I am talking to straight people, I use the definition you posted. When I'm talking to LGBTQ people, I don't use the term much because it has the potential to mean so many different things.

The first time I was mistaken for a "hot guy" was a defining moment in my life. I was hanging out with my guys in someones front yard. I was the only female but I didn't dress any different from them. Someone was on the phone with a girl and her friends down the road. From their window I was not only male but the one they wanted to talk to. It wasn't the first time I wished I really was a guy. Or the last. Many other times I have had the opposite set up and wished I were more feminine. I have thought I wish I were a girl many times as well. So for me my gender presentation comes into conflict when it comes to dating. More often I am attracted to someone who sees my "type" is not "their type". Just recently I have been getting close to an androgenous person and have experienced many positive and difficult aspects of this match up. The best thing so far has been the kindredness and understanding. Has anyone else ever felt frustrated enough to sometimes wonder "why can't I be more ___" when feeling hope become rejection?

Androgynous is the label I prefer to use, rather than butch or femme. Or I just tell people I'm just me.

Some LGBTI history-
Androgyny has long been embraced by strong women, soft men, members of queer communities, and others who do not easily fit into traditionally defined gender categories.
