Needs to be moved to the correct spelling, "androgyny". -- Someone else 04:57 Feb 1, 2003 (UTC) Why didn't you just move it? Mintguy I tried, it failed. May have had something to do with the redirect that was already there? In any case, thanks for getting it done. -- Someone else 05:12 Feb 1, 2003 (UTC)
Not a fan of this page - confuses sex and gender, and comes to conclusions that I don't think are universally accepted. Martin
Major trimmage performed. Take this as an example of nonsense removed:
- "Gender-reassignment" surgery, for example, may make a man look like a woman, but in every other way, as in sexual reproduction capabilities, the man remains male.
-
- Good work - this page is much better now :) Martin
Okay... I don't have the feintest clue where to begin fixing this, but regarding "androgynous" flowers (I guess somebody who had the term "perfect flower" on the tip of their tongue might start here): a disambiguation link to a disambiguation page ( requiring clicking two links to get where you're going) strikes me as a Bad Thing. Just a thought.

[edit] Androgyny in Asian culture
As far as I am informed, androgyny and people changing sex is a rather common occurrence in original Asian culture (China and Japan). Can someone add info on this? If an article on this already exists, please add a link to it. SpectrumDT 14:09, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merge Androgyne here?
Given that these two articles are essentially the same subject, I propose that the article Androgyne be merged into the article Androgyny. --AliceJMarkham 06:42, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
- As long as I'm not the one doing the work, I don't see why not. :) Seconded. Sephylight 08:46, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
- I agree; there is no reason for two separate articles on the same subject. Everyone would be better served by their merger. Aleta 06:22, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
All done! I did my best but there's probably still some repetition. Tocharianne 03:16, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Spoilers
I'm not sure as to whether or not the reference to Sheik in the Video Games section is really required for this article. It doesn't seem like a particularly appropriate example and is in itself a major spoiler for the later parts of the games. I've added spoiler tags around that section (although I forgot to log in before I made the change) for the time being. --Defragged 20:22, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
- Didn't see the talk page before changing your edits. How do you like my fix? (If you want to remove Sheik as a bad example I have no problem with that.) Tocharianne 21:12, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
- I think I'll probably drop the example. I'm not sure Sheik could really be considered androgynous anyway. The reason the character is able to pass herself off as a male seems to be either due to clothing intended to disguise (her face is covered when she appears as Sheik), or possibly due to an apparent complete magical transformation (according to Princess_Zelda#Sheik anyway). Thanks for the help.--Defragged 20:46, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] New page for "Famous androgynes"?
I think the time has come for a new page for this category. Also...this section really should have citations for verification, or people may begin to plug in hoax names. --Kukini 01:26, 19 February 2007 (UTC) The section IS getting too big. And some of the names amde me think, 'what??'.80.43.72.100 21:55, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Mana
Mana is a crossdresser, NOT an androgyne. I've removed him from the list.
[edit] Anime Characters
Some of the anime characters listed doesn't seem very androgynous to me, for example, Cain and Abel from Trinity Blood. I haven't changed anything because I'm no expert of the subject, but I'm wondering if they were just put there because they have long hair. Ravenwolf Zero 19:48, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
