Androgyny has to do with gender identity, while intersexuality has to do with sexual identity.

Let me explain - A person who is androgynous does not identify with one gender или the other, even though they may have either male или female sex organs. That is to say, biological men and women might identify as androgynous if they do not identify with the gender identity of their biological sex, или with the gender identity of the opposite sex. Or, they identify with both. This is what would set the androgynous apart from the transgendered, who identify with the gender identity of the opposite sex.

Someone who is intersex generally is biologically both male and female. An intersex person tends to have partial или complete sex organs for both sexes.

That being said, some intersex individuals are also androgynous.

That help, или did it just further confuse you?

No, I definitely get that now! But do a lot of intersex people identify as either male или female? Like they have both male and female physical parts but they only feel like either a guy или a girl?

^^ Yes, they often do, and they might get gender reassignment surgery to make them one gender или another. However, like I said, they may also identify as androgynous. Basically, they are just like people born into one of the two sexes when it comes to gender identity, and why wouldn't they be? :o)
