What Do You Call A Person Who's 'androgynous?'

[Lynn_M]

Has anyone actually came up with such a word? An Androgynite, perhaps?

androgynous
anˈdrɒdʒɪnəs/Submit
adjective
partly male and partly female in appearance; of indeterminate sex.
"a stunningly androgynous dancer"

[Samjenko]

You call them by whatever their name is.

I know quite a few katoeys and they are all very nice people with great personalities. Maybe something to being of both genders makes them this way - who knows?

Opportunists?

Glad you agree Murdo.

Is it necessary to pigeon hole people?

[Buenchico]

I agree about not putting labels on people but the actual answer to Lynn's question (according to the OED) is 'androgyne'.

[Lynn_M]

"You call them by whatever their name is."

And if you don't know their name? Or referring to a specific group? And why can't we put labels on people anymore? Are words like shopkeeper, plumber and carpenter now deemed offensive? The Politically Correct are out in force this morning. I've got an answer though, and I'm happy with that.

Thanks Buenchico, thanks everyone

// shopkeeper, plumber and carpenter // refer to someone's trade.

Go figure ;-/

I find it odd that lesbians, gays, transsexuals, transvestites, transgender people, bisexuals and others are all lumped into one LGBT+ labelled box.

[waterboatman]

Whatever, they are people, just like everyone else. They have a name, just like everyone else.

[1ozzy]

Some people don't seem to understand just how simple life can be Murdo.

The need by some to "label" every person on how different they are never stops amazing me.
