Androgyny is a term derived from the
Greek words ανήρ (anér, meaning man) and γυνή (gyné, meaning woman) that can refer to two concepts regarding the mixing of both male and female
genders or having a lack of gender identification. The first is the mixing of
masculine and
feminine characteristics, be it the example of the loud fashion statements of
David Bowie,
Jeffree Star,
Boy George,
Marilyn Manson,
Annie Lennox, and
Visual Kei musicians, or the balance of "
anima" and "
animus" in
Jungian psychoanalytic theory. The second is in describing something that is neither masculine nor feminine, for example the
Hijras of
India who are often described as "neither man nor woman" or
angels which are often portrayed as genderless.
