Which term describes having the behavior or social/emotional characteristics of both gender groups (male and female)?

• A. Intersexed
• B. Androgynous
• C. Nonbinary
• D. Gender-fluid

Answer: (B)

Blending masculine and feminine traits in behavior and social-emotional characteristics is described as androgynous. Androgynous captures a mix of both gender-associated behaviors and qualities without tying them to biology or a fixed gender identity. This differs from intersexed (biological characteristics), nonbinary (a gender identity outside male/female), and gender-fluid (shifting identity or expression over time).
