androgynes
Neither fully masculine
Androgynes are people who combine masculine and feminine characteristics, or who identify as neither distinctly male nor female.
The term is more formal than androgynous, which works as both noun and adjective.
In mythology, androgynes appear as primordial beings possessing both sexes.
Contemporary usage often relates to gender identity: Androgynes may use they/them pronouns.
