1. Androgynous

   Androgynous is a song by The Replacements featured on their album Let It Be which came out in 1984. The song describes in positive terms a relationship between two gender non-conforming individuals, and suggests that in future perhaps such relationships will be more accepted. The song was covered by Crash Test Dummies and released as the third and final single from their 1991 debut album The Ghosts That Haunt Me. Joan Jett also covered the song on both her albums Naked and Sinner. Jubilee also covered the song. Their version appeared as the B-side on their first single, "Rebel Hiss". In 2015, the song was covered by Joan Jett again, along with Laura Jane Grace of Against Me! and Miley Cyrus, for Cyrus's Backyard Sessions video series to support the Happy Hippie Foundation, an organization founded by Cyrus to support homeless LGBT youth. The song was also covered by Ezra Furman on the 2016 EP Songs by Others. Towards the end of the song, you can hear Paul Westerberg sing the words "Jefferson's Cock". Occasionally, The Replacements would play gigs in Minneapolis under this name, with the band members wearing dresses.

Examples of androgynous in a Sentence

1. Gore Vidal:

   There is hardly an American male of my generation who has not at one time or another tried to master the victory cry of the great ape as it issued from the androgynous chest of Johnny Weissmuller, to the accompaniment of thousands of arms and legs snapping during attempts to swing from tree to tree in the backyards of the Republic.

2. Greta Gerwig:

   Jo is a girl with a boy's name, Laurie is a boy with a girl's name, in some ways they are each other's twins. They find each other before they've committed to a gender. It wouldn't be wrong to call Saoirse handsome and Timothée beautiful. Both have a slightly androgynous quality that makes them perfect for these characters.

3. Leatrice Eiseman:

   The fall 2015 palette is rooted in multifaceted, androgynous colors that can be worn to portray effortless sophistication across men's and women's fashion; it is the first time we are seeing a truly unisex color palette.

4. James Baldwin:

   We are all androgynous, not only because we are all born of a woman impregnated by the seed of a man but because each of us, helplessly and forever, contains the other -- male in female, female in male, white in black and black in white. We are a part of each other. Many of my countrymen appear to find this fact exceedingly inconvenient and even unfair, and so, very often, do I. But none of us can do anything about it.
