Androgyny

Androgyny is a concept used in psychology and gender studies to describe people who possess both traditionally masculine and traditionally feminine psychological qualities, character traits, and behaviors. Such people do not adhere to strict gender stereotypes and may display a wide range of traits that are usually associated with different genders.

People with an androgynous identity or traits may be more flexible and adaptive in various situations and relationships, as they have access to a wide range of behavioral responses and strategies.
