Androx
Androx is a non-binary gender identity that is situated between male and androgyne, meaning it is not fully binary but has some connection to masculinity. It exists on a spectrum, can lean more towards male or androgyne, or be equidistant between them. Androx is considered the masculine counterpart to the feminine-leaning gynx gender.
Androx is a neogender, which means it falls between being male and female without being either one.
Origins of the Term
Androx is one of many community-created neogenders—labels for gender identities that grew out of LGBTQIA+ spaces online, especially Tumblr and MOGAI (Marginalized Orientations, Gender Alignments, and Intersex) glossaries. The umbrella word neogender was coined in 2019 on Tumblr and became more widely used around 2020. Androx, like gynx, appears in community glossaries from this period, but no single creator is credited with coining it.
