Androgyny is a term derived from the Greek andras (άνδραΔ—man) and gyne (λμνή—woman) referring to either the absence of any distinguishing masculine or feminine traits, as in the Hijras of India, or the combination of both masculine and feminine characteristics, whether spiritual, psychological, or physiological. Most Western cultures presume a binary opposition between male and female. [Source: Encyclopedia of Educational Psychology; Androgyny]
