Androgyny, taken from wikipedia:
"Androgyny is the combination of masculine and feminine characteristics. Sexual ambiguity may be found in fashion, gender identity,sexual identity, or sexual lifestyle.
For humans, androgyne (/ˈændrədʒaɪn/ an-drə-jyn) in terms of gender identity is a person who does not fit neatly into the typical masculine and feminine gender roles of their society. Androgynes may also use the term "ambigender" or "polygender" to describe themselves. Many androgynes identify as being mentally between woman and man, or as entirely genderless. They may identify as "non-gender", "gender-neutral", "agender", "between genders", "genderqueer", "multigender", "intergendered", "pangender" or "gender fluid"
This is the many faces of what defines Gender Bending. How society
sees gender bending differs, which in itself seems like an oxymoron of sorts,
but whenever Gender Bend, I "identify with the gender assigned at birth, but "challenge" the norms of that gender through androgynous behavior and atypical gender roles"
I challenge these norms as much as possible, not just because of social
prejudice and ignorance, but also on a personal level; to
accept a sense of acceptance of what and who I am
regardless of what society views or deem as the norm,
because femininity is not limited to the female gender as
much as masculinity is limited to the male gender. There is a world
to explore between the two worlds, and that's where I start...
