I've always described myself as a female-bodied person who is somewhere in the gray zone between male and female; I've always thought of myself as androgynous. And I was wrong.
You-all probably know this already, but androgyny is being strongly male and strongly female.
Turns out I'm undifferentiated, a word I don't hear thrown around much. I'm not much of either male or female, which totally fits.
For those who'd like the fun of taking a personality test modeled on the Bem Sex Role Inventory:

Hmmm.
I dont see andogyny as an identity as strongly male and strongly female.
I see it as being hard to tell what sex you are. And being a mix.
But its a label, and i usually dont do labels.
Huh.
I dunno.
My understanding of androgyny is being somewhere in the middle, with elements of both but not strongly one or the other.
I'm bi-gender. Strongly male and strongly female, in the same (female) body.
Edit: My score was just slightly in the masculine:
Your score for masculinity was 104.
Your score for femininity was 98.
I have serious issues with them deciding that whether you like guns is a male/female thing (I know some seriously femme females who love guns far more than I do). There are a lot of questions on that list that are stereotypes, not reality.
This is not the same terminology used for transgender/non-binary at all. It's an entirely different scale that is unrelated, and their definitions don't match at all.
Rather an interesting personality test if anyone has a few minutes. I came out 107/93 (M/F) - slightly more masculine. I think that about fits my self-assessment.
122/81 M/F. I knew already that I have a masculine personality. Cool that the test showed that too.

Mine was the reverse... :)
No surprise there.

117/89 F/M.
It's an interesting test, although there were some stereotypical questions.

...
And I thought the same, I've seen androgyny as something in the middle in lots of websites and conferences, bi-gender or polygender sound better to me when talking about strongly being two or more genders at the same time.
Today I got 103/88, a wee bit less masculine and a wee bit less feminine. Yeah, that fits my self-perception.
I got 98 masculine and 96 feminine IE undifferentiated. Doesn't that agree with my head right now? :(
