Oh, here's one that I got not too long ago:
"Androgynes are asexual, because they don't have a gender"
...how's THAT for arbitrary stereotype material? (And of course, you can't have a stereotype without contradictory information, so you might as well include a bit about how "androgyny is really just a sexual fetish.")
I've also heard androgynes are really just FtMs/MtFs who haven't yet figured themselves out. (A variation of this is that we're just FtMs or MtFs who don't want to admit it.)
And on a more positive note, people seem to get the impression that androgynes are really open-minded!
... and it could, i suppose, be arbitrarily deducted that "androgynes are artsy people" based on the fact that most of the androgynes I know are fairly artsy? Simlarly, I would deduce stereotypically that 'androgynes have a good sense of humor."
And OBVIOUSY: "Androgynes have the best of both worlds!" 8D
And I agree on the "Androgynes are stereotypically unstereotypical" point-- irony aside, that really DOES seem to be a stereotype for androgynes. x3
...I tried to include some positives and some negatives, in varying degrees of inaccuracy/overgeneralization-- all the fixin's of a good, arbitrary stereotype! |D
