Androgyny is the possession of both masculine and feminine characteristics in humans. In comparison, hermaphroditism is the possession of both male and female reproductive organs in plants and animals.
Androgyny may be expressed with regard to biological sex, gender identity, or gender expression. When androgyny refers to mixed biological sex characteristics in humans, it often refers to intersex people, who are born with congenital variations that complicate assigning their sex at birth. Regarding gender identity, androgynous individuals may identify with non-binary identities. Others may identify as transgender men, transgender women, or may be cisgender. As a form of gender expression, androgyny has waxed and waned in popularity in different cultures and throughout history.
Physically, androgyny may be achieved through personal grooming, fashion, or hormone treatment.
