[[File:Screenshot_20200228-221415_Chrome.jpg|thumb|Yinyang ren flag]]'''Yinyang ren''' is the traditional [[Third Gender|third gender]] of Chinese cultures. It's seen as a perfect balance between [[Man|male]] and [[Woman|female]], or "perfect [[Androgyne|androgyny]]".
Yingyang ren is most commonly used to describe [[intersex]] individuals, and is at times used as a slur in China.<ref>[https://sites.google.com/site/oiichinese/Home/what-is-intersex What is a Yin-and-Yang Person / Intersex Person?]</ref><ref>[https://nonbinary.wiki/wiki/Yinyang_ren Yinyang Ren]</ref> However, like [[queer]], this term is reclaimed by some.
This category of gender identity and gender role is used in Chinese society to describe some individuals whose personalities and behaviors appear to be intermediate between masculine and feminine cases.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20051215224920/http://lianzai.china.com/books/html/232/849/7015.html The Fifth Chapter in the Search for Love (archive)]</ref> Other characteristics may include assertiveness, aesthetic sensitivity, as well as lack of strong discrimination on their sexual orientation on the basis of their identity.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yinyang_ren Yinyang Ren]</ref>
