So many people are ignorant of what androgeny means that its giving me a headache. No, its not a new term. No, wearing your hair short, wearing a suit; or putting on a dress and makeup doesn't make you androgynous. No, it has nothing to do with mental health or gender identity. The only way you can really have androgeny is to be naturally born that way, take hormones, or have plastic surgery.
A lot of men and women who have more androgynous traits often suffer from hormonal disorders, pcos being one that effects 10% of women. But some are also just having been granted more features from the parent of the opposite sex. Another thing that I've noticed since I was little, though still does not have much research into it is people with autism that tend to be more androgynous. Thats why I was shocked when I learned that Shawn Murphy in the good doctor wasn't actually autistic, because he physically presents like a lot of them do.
Sometimes genetics also play a role. German women or Korean men will have more androgynous looks, and also tend to have atypical hormonal balances.
Almost all androgynous folk are easily identified as the gender they were born as, they just look more masculine or feminine than what is typical. But even those who are split directly in between, I find the men and women beautiful still. Not to mention model agencies LOVE them. Most the top models have more atypical gender presentations.
All of these closed minded attitudes is probably why so many people feel the need to transition smh. Most androgynous women especially tend to over compensate to look feminine, with long hair, monthly waxing, and always wearing makeup and despising how they look. These foul attitudes are the cause of that mentality. Looking more masculine or feminine doesn't make you any less of a man or woman.

No, I like manly looking men. The rugged aspect and I don't mean hollywood rugged - although there are some great examples - is very attractive to me.
I see the appeal to androgyny, there is something intriguing about the look. But it's not my cup of tea.20 Reply
Nah fam. I don't want to date mannish-looking females and/or transpeople and neither does literally any other straight male. Mackenzie Davis looks like an abomination to me. That's the super-rare, perfect "50% pure androgyny" look there. They can equally be a biological female as much as a man/tranny. Real women aren't supposed to have boxer's jaws. And heterosexuals aren't going to be interested in people like this, at all.

Not only because it could lead to me catching their mental illness but because I would then be a bad role model for children and others which only contributes to the decline of western society.

@Ninaface That may be the text book definition but socially, the only time I've ever heard the word used is when it comes to attention whores who choose to be seen as ambiguous by putting work in to make that happen. Not someone who just has their own natural look which I wouldn't include here.

Huh? Its not meaningless. Androgynous people are not the same as trans or non binary, and typically are easily seen as the gender they're born as. Most high fashion or runway models constitute as Androgynous, but most if them also got bullied growing up because they look more girl or boyish than what's typical.
You're actually gonna sit here and say "I know the textbook definition and I know the poster means the textbook definition but I'm gonna use the definition of an entirely different word" 🤣🤣 androgeny has nothing to do with how you present yourself with hair, makeup, and clothes; and everything to do with bone structure, physical traits, and body shape. - +1 y
Except you're not disagreeing with the asker. You're talking about a different subject entirely, one i actually agree with. I wouldn't date a non binary or trans person although I'm bisexuality. But I would date an androgynous person. It's about being secure in the body you were born in.
But I repeat myself, entirely different subject so its pretty irrelevant here.

Because when people have these disorders. They feel lost, helpless, isolated from society. So MAYBE. Having a professional that deals with emotions and behavior can help them.
Homosexuals and transgender people are legit the only group of human beings that have a flag dedicated to their classification of people. You do not see a flag for straight females or straight males do you? Why though?
Oh yes, because again. THEY, feel isolated from society. So as a result they do things like wear certain clothing, hold up flags as a way to virtue signal. Like YES I’M GAY, LOOK AT ME!
Umm yeah. Nobody cares. You’re a human being just like everyone else. Everyone is different and not everybody cares to know your sexuality

People have mistaken me for a trans person before.. so I guess I’m kinda androgynous, but not really on purpose. I think it’s attractive when someone isn’t afraid to show their female or male qualities even when they’re not assigned that gender at birth. This is coming from a guy who used to dye his hair and wear eyeliner occasionally (I was a goth kid haha)00 Reply- 994 opinions shared on Dating topic.

He doesn't know what he's talking about. Its people who naturally have more traditionally masculine or feminine features; usually due to hormonal disorders. Honestly I'm pretty shocked at how many people don't know what it is. And even more shocked by how many people are bringing mental health into it when they're entirely ignorant.
Being androgynous isn't something you can make yourself be just by putting on a suit, having short hair, or wearing a dress and makeup. Its just the bone structure and general natural build of a person.

218 Reply- +1 y
Just someone who looks more masculine or feminine than what is traditional. Pretty much all androgynous folk are obvious that they're the gender that they were assigned at birth; but they look more in between. Such as a woman with a strong sharp jaw, or a man with a lean and thin figure. Although just one thing wouldn't be enough to really classify as that.
- +1 y
Yeah, that's why a lot of people don't find a woman like billie eilish attractive either. She leans into her androgynous side sometimes as well, which I think is fun. Being secure in femininity or masculinity without feeling the need to change your gender. But even when she's very dressed up, its clear she still looks a bit different than a typical woman. Though she'd be more on the lower end of androgeny.
Its understandable, just the sad truth is a lot of people are hateful or bully those for it. Thats why so many short skinny boys with weak chins get thrown into the dumpster. Or tall girls with broad shoulders and a strong jaw get hazed and gossiped about. - +1 y
That's usually true of androgynous folk. They'll look more like the gender they're born as, but with a lot of the opposite as well. She's still very clearly a woman, but she's boyish too. Sometimes its someone whose confusing, split right down the middle. Or its someone who looks like the opposite gender. But those two are more atypical.

Thats more the kinda of response I thought I'd find in the comments tbh. The fact that everyone was all "hell no" perplexed me a lot. Like everything its a spectrum of yes and nos unless you have a very narrow idea of what you're willing to date. Which whatever floats their boat I guess.

Its for men and women. To put in another perspective, it can be due to genetics to make this kind of presentation as well. Such as German woman looking more masculine, or korean men more feminine.
Interesex or hormonal disorders can also cause this kind of look. Pcos effects 10% of women and usually the hormones cause them to present more masculine also.
It can also just be having more features from a parent of the opposite sex too.
There are ways to force it, such as surgery or hormonal pills/foods (soy actually makes men more effeminate, and a lot of the fats, sugars, and oils and hormones in foods can make women more masculine.)
I grew up knowing the term. I didn't realize it was this obscure, I thought it was well known. b
