The coiner commented, in reference to the term: "I’m ambix! There’s a common misconception that ambiguity and androgyny are the same thing or interchangeable, but they are two distinct gender qualities. Androgyny is midbinary in nature, deriving from masculinity and femininity and/or related to those concepts. Ambiguity isn’t related to the binary and is cryptic and enigmatic, having multiple interpretations, not clearly being one thing or another. When both qualities are present it may be described as ambiguinity. When you’re one and not the other it can be a bit frustrating to see them being mixed up and having your gender misinterpreted, but this is a term to help prevent that and make it clear what quality your gender is related to. When I say my gender is ambiguous it is in a very abinary way." |
