Welcome to Androgyny Scotland. For those who wish to know more about Androgyny I hope this site will be of interest. What is Androgyny? Many people will be familiar with the androgynous fashions and celebrities of the 70’s and 80’s. Though this is often the route people have taken in the past in discovering their androgyny, this is not what this site’s about. It’s also not just about those people who look androgynous, although they are certainly included in what I’m talking about here. This site is about Androgyny as a gender identity, and hence is about Androgynes. Whilst the English language is inaccurate when talking about gender identities other than man or woman, it is possible to clumsily and incorrectly describe an androgyne as someone whose gender identity is a combination of or absence of masculine and feminine, that is, they are an amalgamation of the two. I say this is a clumsy and incorrect explanation for the same reason that describing the colour yellow as a combination of black and white is clumsy and incorrect. Androgyny cannot be truly described by invoking Man and Woman. Androgyny is a distinct gender identity and should never be confused as a mixture or combination of anything else. I hope that this site is a valuable resource and will become even more so in the future. I hope it will also provide a home to the still forming androgyne, genderqueer and 3rd gender communities in Scotland. As such, if there’s anything you’d like me to add, or you’d like to know, email me. I can’t promise that it’ll be added, but at prsent there’s a good possibility! I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Cali with eir help on the look of the site and HTML coding that I haven't learnt yet. Thankyou!
