Ambisexual has had two meanings in parlance, relating to either sexuality or gender identity. However, the sexual identity is now more prevalent.

Ambisexual – in sexuality – means someone of an ambiguous sexuality, meaning, somebody who is bisexual+.

In gender identity, it is someone of an ambiguous gender; for example, someone who is androgynous.

A nonbinary gender identity associated with androgynous individuals; typically having a gender that is simultaneously feminine and masculine – but not necessarily in equal amounts. Androgynes may identify further as transgender, nonbinary and/or genderqueer.

Typically used as an adjective to describe someone’s appearance as being a mixture of typically masculine/feminine traits. It was previously used to describe intersex individuals, although this definition has fallen out of favour.

An individual whose gender expression can be described as a mixture of both masculinity and femininity, or has elements of each.
