-'''Androgynos''' ('''אַנְדְּרוֹגִינוֹס''') is a gender from Jewish culture, where one has qualities of both a woman and a man. The closest modern, western equivalent would be [[bigender]], [[androgyne]], or [[intersex]]. Historically, androgynos was usually assigned to intersex variations where there is a mix of male and female characteristics. In the Talmud, the androgynos is understood as someone who both has a penis as well as some female sex traits. However, many [[Non-Binary|non-binary]], intersex, and/or [[altersex]] Jewish people find that the term fits their experience.
