Re: The correct word
"androgynous" has an 80ies ring to it, When David Bowie was young and became a superstar, he was often described as "androgynous". The word fell out of fashion since. It has also different connotation: While unisex sounds technical and neutral, androgynous also transports notions like "between the classical genders" (may gender-fluid in today's language) and "flamboyant". Ah, this is all about English, French is sometimes special in its terminology that is decreed by the French Academy and enforced by law.
