Who are some androgynous people you look up to and/or admire?
They can be real or fictional characters.

My personal favorite is Motoko from Ghost in the Shell.

I liked Michael Monroe in his early Hanoi Rocks period he's on the feminine side of androgynous

Most typically androgynous looking people leave me feeling isolated.

Current people, Tilda Swinton and Daniela Sea, every time. Otherwise, Amelia Earhart.

I <3 her so hard. She's my wallpaper on my computer and my iPhone actually. And I have the movies and the tv shows and the comic books. Yay for badass queer females.

In real life, Ivan E. Coyote is pretty awesome.

Pete Burns lately has had some problems looking a bit artificial, but I still admire his "I'll be whatever I want to be and I don't care what anyone thinks about it."  He has a male body and identifies as male but has a female looking face (through plastic surgery) and wears female clothing.
