Androgynous means having both male and female characteristics and appearance that it becomes hard to decipher what gender the person is. Urban Dictionary is a friend. 🙃
i'm straight, but I find androgynous but muscular men to be the most attractive people. so i personally don't think it's about how masculine or feminine a person is. just a certain type of look, maybe?
Wow there's a lot of ignorance in the comments. Guys, androgynous is not a sexuality or a gender, it's a way of presenting. It's not gender identity it's gender expression. And it's a real thing. This has nothing to do with tumblr
Not expression zzz,it's got to do with genetics where you have both characteristics of male and female,it's not something you can make but happened naturally
@@jekesan4221 You are born with clothes? You don't decide to cut your hair? You might have some androgynous physical features because of genetics, but you bring them out even more by being nonconforming in your gender expression
+Alandra Bradshaw Yes, I will take a suit and tie over a dress anyday and I'm actually considering going to next homecoming with my girlfriend in a suit :D
I was bullied since I was little for not acting and being girly. I am often mistaken of being lesbian, but in reality, I'm not. This video boosted my self esteem.
The comments on here are so horrendous. (i) Androgyny is NOT a gender identity. Stop saying "I identify as a rock". You're being ignorant and invalidating non-binary people's existences . (ii) Androgyny isn't a new 'internet/tumblr' thing. Androgyny has been around since the existence of humanity, just like all those 'touchy subjects' people get uncomfortable around. There's just more awareness regarding it now. (iii) No Buzzfeed hasn't run out of ideas. I thought this was a great video idea to give us insight into the lives of androgynous models. Gender ambiguity and it's expression is beautiful (iv) C'mon its 2016. No matter what gender you are, you should be able to wear/dress any way you want. Screw gender roles. You guys should be more considerate and compassionate about different people. It's unfair to hate on someone because you don't understand them.
+VlogDiaries Thank you a lot for this comment... many people just don't understand that now people embrace such things and don't hide it anymore... but it has been around forever
+VlogDiaries I agree, this comment section is ridiculous! "I identify as a candle" got over 1000 likes. wow.... really? And then I even saw people saying that thinking you're a gender that you're not is a mental illness. The ignorance is just sad :(
pros to short hair: dries faster, light and fun, you'll get a lot of compliments, unique, a change if you were looking for one. cons: it takes FOREVER to grow back (the dreaded mid-length stage), more upkeep after it grows out a little, more frequent trips to the hair salon (and it's more expensive for women), you probably won't appreciate how good it looked until you grow it back out again... LOL
I went from long hair that went like a palm over my shoulder to a super short pixie overnight. It was strange to get used to it but i like it a lot. It does get annoying for like at least a year after that if you want to grow it back. I looked like a combo between the beatles and oasis most of the times and the mullet was horrible 😅 so you gotta be aware about that if you do it. Otherwise, it s awesome.
God this comment section is nasty. I personally think theyre motherfucking beautiful people, ok? And theres no damn need to make fun of genderqueer ppl 24/7, like dont yall ever take a break??
It's hard for me because my parents won't let me buy from the boy's or men's section and I REALLY WANT to. I can't be myself as long as I live with them. When I move out, I WILL be able to be myself. One of my uncles really accepts that and I can be myself around him (and one of my cousins), but if I start being myself now, my whole family will start shying away from me. Also, because of how I look, many people think I'm lesbian (which is way I can't find a boyfriend). I embrace what I am, it's just my family that stops me.
I used to feel really self conscious about my body, because I'm a cis girl with small hips and broad shoulders, and I would always search for ways to "correct" myself. But after I learned what androgynous meant and feeling at home with it, I've learned to accept and love my body more.
I went from long hair to wide length then finally I have short hair and I’m a woman. I’m in high school so of course me cutting my hair was a big deal, and honestly I hated it at first and felt awkward and embarrassed. I was scared how people would react and treat me. I already have quite a masculine face and such and I just knew this haircut would make me less appealing to men. I’m truly straight but I want someone who can love and respect me for me no matter how I look. I was definitely treated differently. I was told I was intimidating but now no one would talk to me. Also people would look at me weird or assume I was something just by looking at me. The whole reason I cut my hair was because i was tired of having to manage it and it always felt like it was in the way. My friend who is bi says I look like a guy all the time it doesn’t offend me most of the time. But a few days ago a man called me sir and then realized my name was a girls name and tried to apologize. It wasn’t his fault, but I felt terrible and I regretted everything. I just want to be comfortable in my own skin, I don’t want to be labeled for my hair or face or body. I’m so tired of it. We can’t let people tell us what genders can or cannot do, we are free to do whatever we want.
Androgynous people, not just models, are by far the most captivating in my opinion. I think there's something alluring in a person who's not compelled to fit what is the "norm". I feel like non conformity is the ultimate sophistication
this made me really happy. as a female who feels more comfortable in masculine clothing, people never understood me or liked me very much. i’m so happy to see people like these women who are seen in a positive light for their masculinity
"You don't have to be a man to have short hair and wear men's clothing." Nothing is more true! I don't wear mens clothing, but I do have a buzz cut for convenience. I find it stupid when people say that girl's shouldn't have short hair. Also, just because clothes are made for men doesn't mean a woman can't wear them. Many women wear mens pants or shirts for comfort or just because they want to. Nothing wrong with that.
I'm so obsessed with androgynous models - they're so damn gorgeous! I didn't think I was in to girls but I could see myself with an androgynous-looking person, male or female.
Am I the only one that feels like they don't look "androgynous"? Androgynous people have a certain bone structure that gives the illusion of both a male and female face/body. They're just women who are not girly. I like the men's version of this better because they actually do look androgynous.
as much as I can see where you're coming from with this comment, being androgynous isnt about the way your face is structured. There are many androgynous people who have a more 'masculine' or a more 'feminine' face structure and they can't change that.
That doesn't make any sense lol ⬆ if you can tell their gender easily, or if their appearance strongly leans towards femininity or masculinity then they're not androgynous.
I've wanted to model for a bit now but i was afraid because i am very an androgynous in my style. this was a real confidence boost to see these strong beautiful women with my style. thank you buzzfeed
I feel so inspired by you beautiful ladies. All my life I felt like the definition of androgynous but I never had a way to express myself. Slowly I'm finding more and more way to make myself feel more confident in the clothes I wear and the way I style my hair. To everyone else out there with a similar struggle: take your time and know there are tons of people out there going through the same thing. Just be yourself and you'll be happy. Always.
If I'd been a girl, I might have had this problem: tall, low voice, and hair that won't grow very long. That possibility drives a lot of this home for me, and I hate seeing pretty girls made to feel bad about themselves, to begin with. Some of these gals ARE very pretty, for that matter, an I'd never look at them otherwise. No assuming they're men, no assuming they're lesbians, none of it. Short hair on the right girl actually kind of . . . works, to be honest.
Liopleurodonninja I don't like carrying masculinity OR femininity to extremes, quite frankly: it's tacky, and reeks of overcompensation. (This is what you learn, growing up in a feminist household.) And to be perfectly honest, I find that the sort of woman who looks genuinely good in short hair, is a good prospect for me. I'm not giving up what I need, because of a bunch of stereotypes.
I find this very helpful for me because when I had long hair my family and friends would admire how long it was and super healthy. That I was like a typical hispanic girl with long hair. But ever since my sister got cancer and she went bald, seeing how much she wanted her hair back made me want to chop mines off and give it to her. Thankfully she survived and I got to chop off my hair to donate it. I then had my hair in a pixie cut and many people, especially my family, disapproved of my hair being so short. I then started to not wear make up as much seeing that they teased me saying I looked like a boy. I said if they wanted to label me like that then a boy they will have. I started to buy more masculine clothes and then they finally stopped teasing me seeing how much I really didn't care. Now my hair is growing longer and when it reaches to the point where I can donate it again, I will cut it off.
Some days I wander on the internet and find a specific topic and cling to it for the whole day or longer. lately it's been things about genders-genderfluid,transgender, and now androgenous. I always accept and get inspired by the people explaining or showing what it means to be who they are and want to be. So after that,I realized that there are times I want to look like a male. I'm pretty feminine and cute looking to others though,like a childish look so I never thought it would work and to this day I still don't know if I can with makeup and see if I can pull it off as what I want it to be. I know it's not for everyone and maybe it's a phase to me. I don't know. But just by watching these people,I hope I can gain confidence and find people who can understand and help me see a new perspective by experiencing it :)
Androgynous fashion has always seemed more male than female to me. It's probs just me failing to understand stuff but whenever I've dressed androgynously I've gone for more of a typical male look than female
This is me in a nutshell, lately though I've been embracing the more femme fatale side of androginy(sp) and it's so much fun. It took me ages to feel comfortable with myself, I always thought that I had to fit in a certain box just to please my family. Once I found myself though, no more pleasing others, it's time to take care of my needs. It's amazing to feel comfortable in any type of clothing and feel confident in the way you look no matter if you are more feminine or masculine than usual. Embrace and move yourselves for who you are, and above all, do not let people pressure you into any boxes, be yourself and be happy.
i honestly love these videos.. they make me, a teenager that is struggling to "find them self" but feels that they can kinda start labeling them self as an androgynous person, slightly more confident.. but at the same time i see all these androgynous models and just regular people in general as these attractive... thin...... yea mostly thin... people and it makes me very unsure of myself. it sucks..
This video makes me so happy in a way I can't really explain. I'm just looking at these beautiful, eloquent people, listening to what they have to say and feeling really happy. Thanks buzzfeed!
What I got bullied for a lot when I was in elementary school was that I was chubby and had a very boyish face. When I was eight I started wearing makeup because I felt that I had to for people to understand that I’m not a boy. I’m a girl. What I do now is wear boy’s clothes, but do really glamorous makeup. It confuses so many people. Even my friends don’t recognize me sometimes, because I recently got a pixie cut. The thing is, I don’t care. I like the way I am. I love my bright blue hair. I love the way I dress. I love my face, but I also love makeup. I hate when people ask what I am. You can assume I’m a boy, I’ll correct you. You can assume I’m a girl, I’ll congratulate you for being right. Even though I look androgynous, I am a girl. Hence the name death herself.
might just be me, but I find these women not too androgynous. they are still VERY feminine just with short hair...a good example of andgrogynous is Tilda Swinton imo
wow this boosts my confidence a lot because im the type of person that has this appearance. usually woman are expected to wear feminine clothing to look good, but im just not confident in that one look. thank you buzzfeed!!!
This video honestly makes me really happy seeing a video about androgyny. Being an androgynous person I don't really get to see or hear form people like myself in the media or real life. Nice to feel represented.
this inspires me SO MUCH! I was worrying about my future and how idk if I'm a demiboy (he/they. it's like being a boy but with agender too) or trans. but this showed me I can wear what I want and I feel more comfortable now identifying as a demiboy. THANK YOU SO MUCH literally I felt like I was gonna cry before but now I'm ok
I just found out I'm an adrogynous bisexual woman today! I've searched so long trying to find my identity and who I am, I've cried and have been distraught. Tossed and turned having restless thoughts at night about why I was so different, why I couldn't fit in. I embraced my tomboy side, I embraced my feminine side. I enjoy finally understanding myself!
Thank you so much, ladies... I am an androgynous female, I grew up as a tomboy, and I absolutely loved it. I didn't care for dressing up in a feminine fashion, I usually wore cargo pants and t-shirts... I always received so much crap from people, ex-boyfriends, parents, etc... I was called a boy so often, and even to this day, I am mistaken for a boy by strangers because of my short hair. I am now out of my family's house and happily married to a man who loves my androgynous nature, but because of my mother wanting a perfect little girl, I grew to hate my look for a short period in my life. I am so happy to see this coming more into the public eye in a very positive way.
this is exactly who I wanna be. I'm a tomboy and usually wear male clothing cause I feel more comfortable in that way. Sometimes I would feel like wearing a bit makeup or wear a necklace, and my friends would be like 'woah you're so girly today'. I don't understand why can't we just wear what we want, why do people always have to specify in certain way to dress. Ugh.
I really feel this way. I've always gotten made fun of and I could never make up my mind between being a girly girl and being a tom boy. I've always wanted to be a model I am a dancer currently. But I was too afraid to explore it due to this. I didn't know this was a thing and now I'm confident to go out with the style I please.
Even when I dressed girly I got mistaken for a boy and when I tried to dress boy like I got told I looked to girly. And then I had the people always asking my gender and I just felt really left out because I didn't really know how to identify myself and who I was because of this

I find this very helpful for me because when I had long hair my family and friends would admire how long it was and super healthy. That I was like a typical hispanic girl with long hair. But ever since my sister got cancer and she went bald, seeing how much she wanted her hair back made me want to chop mines off and give it to her. Thankfully she survived and I got to chop off my hair to donate it. I then had my hair in a pixie cut and many people, especially my family, disapproved of my hair being so short. I then started to not wear make up as much seeing that they teased me saying I looked like a boy. I said if they wanted to label me like that then a boy they will have. I started to buy more masculine clothes and then they finally stopped teasing me seeing how much I really didn't care. Now my hair is growing longer and when it reaches to the point where I can donate it again, I will cut it off.
Some days I wander on the internet and find a specific topic and cling to it for the whole day or longer. lately it's been things about genders-genderfluid,transgender,
and now androgenous. I always accept and get inspired by the people explaining or showing what it means to be who they are and want to be. So after that,I realized that there are times I want to look like a male. I'm pretty feminine and cute looking to others though,like a childish look so I never thought it would work and to this day I still don't know if I can with makeup and see if I can pull it off as what I want it to be. I know it's not for everyone and maybe it's a phase to me. I don't know. But just by watching these people,I hope I can gain confidence and find people who can understand and help me see a new perspective by experiencing it :)
Androgynous fashion has always seemed more male than female to me. It's probs just me failing to understand stuff but whenever I've dressed androgynously I've gone for more of a typical male look than female
omfgljc they are so beautiful
They're all so gorgeous, damn...
This is me in a nutshell, lately though I've been embracing the more femme fatale side of androginy(sp) and it's so much fun. It took me ages to feel comfortable with myself, I always thought that I had to fit in a certain box just to please my family. Once I found myself though, no more pleasing others, it's time to take care of my needs. It's amazing to feel comfortable in any type of clothing and feel confident in the way you look no matter if you are more feminine or masculine than usual. Embrace and move yourselves for who you are, and above all, do not let people pressure you into any boxes, be yourself and be happy.
I connect with this so much. I like looking masculine, I also want to get a pixie cut because I personally love how girls look like with short hair
" I don't like being labeled" continues to label self
But at least it's not labeling incorrectly which is what most people do
don't be trash
why cant they just be.. models? people are so mad over labels but half of them FORCE the labels on others, idk.
Bone structure is amazing
but they are gorgeous. they are genuine goals
i honestly love these videos.. they make me, a teenager that is struggling to "find them self" but feels that they can kinda start labeling them self as an androgynous person, slightly more confident.. but at the same time i see all these androgynous models and just regular people in general as these attractive... thin...... yea mostly thin... people and it makes me very unsure of myself. it sucks..
it's easy to look good with short hair if you're already hot
Such a beautiful group of women 😍
I identity as a table but I don't wanna be labeled
This video makes me so happy in a way I can't really explain. I'm just looking at these beautiful, eloquent people, listening to what they have to say and feeling really happy. Thanks buzzfeed!
What I got bullied for a lot when I was in elementary school was that I was chubby and had a very boyish face. When I was eight I started wearing makeup because I felt that I had to for people to understand that I’m not a boy. I’m a girl. What I do now is wear boy’s clothes, but do really glamorous makeup. It confuses so many people. Even my friends don’t recognize me sometimes, because I recently got a pixie cut. The thing is, I don’t care. I like the way I am. I love my bright blue hair. I love the way I dress. I love my face, but I also love makeup. I hate when people ask what I am. You can assume I’m a boy, I’ll correct you. You can assume I’m a girl, I’ll congratulate you for being right. Even though I look androgynous, I am a girl. Hence the name death herself.
was hoping for rain dove.. that's my boo lolol
might just be me, but I find these women not too androgynous. they are still VERY feminine just with short hair...a good example of andgrogynous is Tilda Swinton imo
Those women rock that hair though
These models are so beautiful! I love the message they are showing that you can blur the lines between male ad female and still be beautiful
wow this boosts my confidence a lot because im the type of person that has this appearance. usually woman are expected to wear feminine clothing to look good, but im just not confident in that one look. thank you buzzfeed!!!
The blonde is so cute 😍 my look is more like the Asian girl now though
LOVE ANDROGYNOUS MODELS!!
No offense but the all look like natural women to me just a bit tomboyish. It's not like their super ambiguous.
This video honestly makes me really happy seeing a video about androgyny. Being an androgynous person I don't really get to see or hear form people like myself in the media or real life. Nice to feel represented.
this inspires me SO MUCH! I was worrying about my future and how idk if I'm a demiboy (he/they. it's like being a boy but with agender too) or trans. but this showed me I can wear what I want and I feel more comfortable now identifying as a demiboy.
THANK YOU SO MUCH literally I felt like I was gonna cry before but now I'm ok
FX's Amber is androgynous too right?? Well I'm not sure but she is my woman crush.
YUP so who googled androgynous?
THe models
i thought androgynous meant like de-hydrated or something lol
Look at my lad
I just found out I'm an adrogynous bisexual woman today! I've searched so long trying to find my identity and who I am, I've cried and have been distraught. Tossed and turned having restless thoughts at night about why I was so different, why I couldn't fit in. I embraced my tomboy side, I embraced my feminine side. I enjoy finally understanding myself!
Thank you so much, ladies... I am an androgynous female, I grew up as a tomboy, and I absolutely loved it. I didn't care for dressing up in a feminine fashion, I usually wore cargo pants and t-shirts... I always received so much crap from people, ex-boyfriends, parents, etc... I was called a boy so often, and even to this day, I am mistaken for a boy by strangers because of my short hair. I am now out of my family's house and happily married to a man who loves my androgynous nature, but because of my mother wanting a perfect little girl, I grew to hate my look for a short period in my life. I am so happy to see this coming more into the public eye in a very positive way.

Androgynous people is my reason to live xD
I am androgynous
Same
Samee😁😁😊😊
about time , ive been waiting for thissss
this is exactly who I wanna be. I'm a tomboy and usually wear male clothing cause I feel more comfortable in that way. Sometimes I would feel like wearing a bit makeup or wear a necklace, and my friends would be like 'woah you're so girly today'. I don't understand why can't we just wear what we want, why do people always have to specify in certain way to dress. Ugh.
i find myself as a yehet
dalal k
yEHET. nah still don't like exo.
RUBY ROSE though.
+Molly enticknap it's actually though ....
90% of this comment section is so gross bye
the girl at 1:17 looks like Johnny depp when he was younger 😍😍😍(that's a compliment)
I really feel this way. I've always gotten made fun of and I could never make up my mind between being a girly girl and being a tom boy. I've always wanted to be a model I am a dancer currently. But I was too afraid to explore it due to this. I didn't know this was a thing and now I'm confident to go out with the style I please.
Even when I dressed girly I got mistaken for a boy and when I tried to dress boy like I got told I looked to girly. And then I had the people always asking my gender and I just felt really left out because I didn't really know how to identify myself and who I was because of this
androgynous girls are my type ahhh
This is a thing?
Yes? This is a thing.
+Sue Rachel but its still hot tho?
what?..
It's their job title, yeah.
Yes refusing to follow gender stereotypes is a thing
they're all so hot o my god
I love how they say the stuff I always think about myself. It is just so good.
theatre kids are the best kids! half my friends are in theatre or tech and they seem to be the most accepting and encouraging ❤❤
