A man whose formal education amounts to 5th grade (a 10 year old's) gives an English lesson:

I believe if one would identify as something, one should be able to pronounce it.

The proper pronunciation of androgyne:

It's an DRAH JIN EE An DRAH JIN EE

Not an DRAH JIN or an DRAH GINE

AN DRAH JIN EE

Say it with me - AN DRAH JIN EE  An DRAH JIN EE

Class dismissed.

Then maybé it should be spelled "androgyné".

Pronunciation
AN-dro-jine

Exactly. There's an E at the end. It's not an-dro-jin. It's an-dro-jine.

I was always in advanced placement English. Not all English words follow suit. In this case, it's pronounced with the E.

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet."
~ William Shakespeare

-Emerald :icon_mrgreen:
Androgyne.
I am not Trans-masculine, I am not Trans-feminine.
I am not Bigender, Neutrois or Genderqueer.
I am neither Cisgender nor Transgender.
I am of the 'gender' which existed before the creation of the binary genders.

Maybe your thinking of Androgyny as the word for that pronounciation.

I've tried a few pronunciations of this, and none of them have ended 'nee'

Androgyny is pronounced with the ee on the end: an-DRO-ji-nee ( http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/androgyny )

Androgyne is not. It's pronounced ANDro-jyne ( http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/androgyne )

Thanks for bringing out the dictionary, Den.
But Nero says there's an E.
