how would you define the word androgynous?

Psychologically, the word refers to individuals who have a constellation of both "traditionally" masculine and feminine personality traits. So an androgynous man could be both strong and sensitive, assertive yet warm, etc.

Research has found that, compared to persons who adhere rigidly to traditional gender divides, androgynous people are happier, healthier, enjoy better relationships, and have more sex.

or

Androgyny refers to two concepts. The first is the mixing of masculine and feminine characteristics, be it for example in the loud fashion statements of musicians like Ziggy Stardust or the balance of "anima" and "animus" in Jungian psychoanalytic theory. Secondly it describes something that is neither masculine nor feminine, for example the Hijras of India who are often described as "neither man nor woman".

I would think it's defined as belonging to neither category of sexual traits and/or characteristics socially accepted as what defines a female or a male.

Neglectful of the determining factor of reproductive organs, of course.
