Jul 7, 2008 - i agree with all of the comments ... very well done... but i think your complicating the concept of androgyny by trying to define it into words... i think that your right it can't really be explained or labeled as one specific thing but most people aren't able to fathom a middle ground of gender, personality, and etc. the concept is to abstract if that makes sense ... but you did a great job like i said ^^

Jul 7, 2008 - there are shown some very nice thoughts,i agree with the most of it..we canot destroy labels by creating new ones..the basic thing is not to label at all,not to expect that things or people are gonna act the same way as the group we put them into..

Jul 7, 2008 - really interesting and artistic video - incorporates the idea of being between the masculine and feminine extremes that society likes to hole people into. J'adore! x Ant

Jul 7, 2008 - Sometimes I'd like to be able to find a box to fit into. I'd like to be able to put my finger on my identity, trap it down and give it a name; but it just never happens because it's fluid and can't be captured. I see myself as masculine, but not as male. I don't believe that masculinity = male, I just believe masculinity is masculinity. I've never seen myself as female at all though, and so I just can't figure out what to call myself.

Jul 7, 2008 - Gender and identity is analogue not digital; we have the right to be different.Having no gender identity, can also another boundary.Their was a strong philosophy like this back in the 80ts and I was assaulted by 3 separatists feminists until they drew my blood and were then shocked at how far they went. They felt that my feminine gender was a betrayal of my ambiguous birth and that I should have lived neutral; without gender.

Jul 7, 2008 - This is a very interesting video. I like how you face both sides of the discussion and voice all of your thoughts. ^^ Nice job.

Jul 7, 2008 - Nicely done. Although, it did seem to feature mainly women. I'd have liked to have seen some more views of men.I think androgyny is whatever you want it to be. That's the whole principle of it.I'm a (definitely) straight girl, but androgynous men send me wild. For me, it represents liberty, freedom of expression (of any kind, sexual, artistic, social etc), objective choice, or just plain style!

Jul 7, 2008 - I believe that all people is androgyny, its just the society that has made up stupid expectations how a male or female should be like.

Jul 7, 2008 - interesting.

Jul 7, 2008 - clothes shouldn't "say" who we are inside anyway... when you think about it, it's really weird.
GoldfishChannel Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - society also created androgyny. without society, people are nothing.

Jul 7, 2008 - Interesting video. When I cut my hair really short (I am a female) people had trouble guessing my gender. This happened more so at school, where we have a uniform that covers up my boobs.I actually enjoyed having people sit there and struggle to guess my gender :)
wingsofdrkness Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - Well, people have trouble guessing my gender even with my long hair(female), but sometimes I enjoy being mistaken for a man. When I go to classical concerts, I wear a tux, but at times I like looking feminine and pretty. Society, like others have said, put people into boxes and it annoys me because then people think you're a freak if you take one step outside the box. Which I often like to do. I'm often criticized for it and I wish they could watch your video and understand like I do.

Jul 7, 2008 - i loved this video because it explains how i feel every single day of my life. it has given me the words i have so longed to hear and speak to others. thank you so much for this.

Jul 7, 2008 - Great doco! Loved it. But I'm not sure that being androgyne means conforming to a set of rules...I mean, from my experience, it's a free-fall expression. I have no doubt in the future there will be due to increase in numbers, but even then, those "gender-outlaws" (like myself) will find another name :)
