This article needs attention from an expert in anthropology. The specific problem is: This article covers contemporary fashion far more than it covers human history and behaviour. WikiProject Anthropology may be able to help recruit an expert.(December 2018)

Androgyny is the possession of both masculine and feminine characteristics.[1] 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 conditions in which characteristics of both sexes are clearly expressed in a single individual, with fully developed sexual organs of both sexes, also called hermaphrodites.[2] It also refers to intersex people, who are born with congenital variations that complicate assigning their sex at birth, but do not have fully developed sexual organs of both sexes.
Regarding gender identity, androgynous individuals may identify as transgender or non-binary and use this as a form of gender expression, in which androgyny has fluctuated in popularity in different cultures and throughout history. Physically, an androgynous appearance may be achieved through personal grooming, fashion, or hormone treatment, and may not present as distinctly male or female.
