Androgyny is a term describing a person whose gender encompasses both male and female, thus lying somewhere in between the two. Frequently, these people seek to present themselves as ambiguous in their gender to the public. In some people, androgyny is purely devoted to their physical presentation, rather than their gender.
The androgynous gender identity does not usually correspond to the physical sex, although some intersex people are androgynous.
