Bi-gender individuals identify as both male and female. Just at different times.

Androgynous individuals don't identify as male or female. They are essentially no gender.

Some people who identify as androgyne do consider themselves to be "both", but generally androgyne people don't hold with the binary model for gender in the first place - whereas bigender people tend to have strongly identified M and F senses of self.

Someone who's androgyne wouldn't necessarily say they have "no gender" (though some do) - it's more that there isn't just 2 to choose from :).

Yeah, androgynous can really be anything.  It mainly just means you don't adhere to society's rules for who a man or a woman must be, but what the rules say and who you are are different things.  You can be male (as assumed by society or as a transsexual), female (ditto), third gender, no gender, genderfluid, or any other label you can dream up.

At Susan's, the term Androgenous is applied to an umbrella that encompasses the non-binary spectrum.

The term itself has evolved over time ... like many of us!

Where do I go to talk about bi- gender

The Androgyne board is probably fine, and the Transgender board (which covers everyone) is definitely fine.
