this isn’t a joke, I’m actually wondering what’s the difference and what it even means

    androgyny isnt real in any practical sense.

    for positive androgyny, using the hairy breasts example; someone with that will just look like a hairy woman

    and for negative androgyny, nobody will see someone and think “that person isnt a man or a woman”. they’ll look for context cues to determine if the androgynous person is a man or a woman. or assume woman. especially in the face since most facial dimorphism is male faces having a bunch of extra garbage.

    this is generally because there’s no third sex and therefore no generally understood and recognised third social gender.
