Story and Usage Notes
Androgyne individuals embody a blend of both male and female characteristics. This can be in terms of gender identity, expression, or both. Androgynes may feel a balanced mix of masculinity and femininity, or they might experience a unique combination that doesn't fit neatly into traditional categories. The androgyne identity often challenges binary gender norms, emphasiing the fluidity and diversity of gender. Androgynes may present themselves in various ways, and their experiences can be deeply personal and varied. Acknowledging and respecting androgyne identities helps to broaden our understanding of gender beyond binary frameworks.

Created as a community pride flag for people whose gender blends or moves between masculine and feminine reference points.
The glyph tradition is older and better sourced than the exact flag attribution. The page therefore frames the colour reading as community usage rather than a single official specification.
