Hey all - I'm still trying to figure myself out and I've been reading up on a lot of androgyne stories. In some ways I can relate to them and in others not so much. I know that I don't fit into the binary genders and that I'm not trans. I've been leaning towards androgyne but I'm not sure that's quite right either. I don't get the feeling of being both genders or neither gender - which seems to be a common definition for androgyne. I know everyone tends to define terms differently, but could someone explain the difference between androgyne and gender-neutral? I've also come across demi-gender recently, so if anyone has any insight on that as well it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

The way one of my agender friends explained it was that they literally didn't know what it felt like to be a man or a woman, and felt uncomfortable being labeled, treated, or thought of as either. They seem themselves as outside of the gender binary completely. For me, it's more of a state of "in-between", or having traits of both gender inside. There are times I feel more like a man, and times I feel more like a woman, but can't say I've ever felt 100% one or the other. I've even used "we" and "us" on rare occasions! And the way I understand demigender is to mean "part" or "mostly" male or female, but not completely. Sort of like those people who say they're hetero or homo flexible - they acknowledge the parts of themselves that set them apart from the "standard". Anyway, hope that helps!
Androgyne can mean different things to different people. For myself, it means that I am neither male nor female. On the scale, I'm in the middle between them.
Androgyne is a combonation of male and female. Gender nuetral just means non binary but not demigender, demiflux, or genderfluid.
Hi there I also have been reading, and from what I understood gender-neutral would be considered outside the binary. People wrote that they just felt like no gender at all, whereas people that described themselves as androgyne wrote that they felt like a blend between male and female, as a new gender gender ("in-between") entirely.
