Androgyny is the possession of both masculine and feminine characteristics.^[1] Androgyny may be expressed with regard to biological sex 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.
