Androgyny

Androgyny. Well, I have heard of this word too much lately that I really curious now about it. That's why I made this post, to share about this knowledge for those who also doesn't know about it. So what is androgyny? Is it an app for android? Or is it a new kind of robotic design? Lol actually it is not even close with that. So, what is it?

According to the definition, androgyny means "showing characteristics of both sexes bisexuality, hermaphroditism" or "Being neither distinguishably masculine nor feminine, as in dress, appearance, or behavior.".

And according to wikipedia:
"Androgyny is a term derived from the Greek words ανήρ, stem ανδρ- (anér, andr-, meaning man) and γυνή (gyné, meaning woman), referring to the combination of masculine and feminine characteristics. This may be as in fashionsexual identity, or sexual lifestyle, or it may refer to biologically inter-sexed physicality, especially with regards to plant and human sexuality."

So based on both resource, I can conclude that androgyny is  a state when a person looks like a man and woman at the same time, and we can't decide which gender they are in such a glimpse look. They are in the middle between man and women. But why? I watch about it a few days ago and actually there are a lots of case about it all over the world. I believe those k-pop and j-pop boys the girls love are also androgyny people. Why? Let me explain..

Some of them (k-pop and j-pop stars) being loved because their faces are lovely just like cute girls. Their real gender is man right? But they mostly look and (maybe) act like girls. Some of them even crossdressing as a girl. But gah I can't really give a good example for this case. But take a look at pictures below, can you guess their  REAL gender?:


So how was it? And those are called "Androgyny". Sometimes we can't really tell what is their real gender at all because they are really into their opposite gender. So what do you think? Is it cool or uncool after you know more about it? Well don't think based on one side, think from other sides also. Think, "how they do it?" or "why people want to be like that?".

Well I think that is all about Androgyny from me. For more details, you can see it on wikipedia or google it for more further information. However, androgyneous people also have the same rights to live and have a job like other people does. They still the part of the society after all. And that's it! I'm out from this post. Have a nice weekend people, have a great day! :)
