Androgyne is a term used to describe someone who possesses both male and female characteristics or exhibits qualities of both genders. There are several synonyms for this term, such as hermaphrodite, intersex, gender-variant, nonbinary, androgynous, bigender, or two-spirit. These words are used to describe people who transcend traditional gender boundaries and identify outside the typical binary system. The use of these terms in modern times has expanded as the LGBTQ+ community becomes more visible, and understanding of gender expands. Each term offers a different level of specificity to an individual's gender identity, allowing people to describe themselves and their uniqueness.
