Yinyang ren

Yinyang ren (simplified Chinese: 阴阳人; traditional Chinese: 陰陽人; pinyin: yīnyáng rén) are people (rén) who are both yin or feminine and yang or masculine in approximately equal proportions.

## Gender role and gender identity

This category of gender identity and gender role is used in Chinese society to describe some individuals whose personalities and behaviors appear to be intermediate between more ordinary masculine and feminine cases. Other characteristics may include elements such as assertiveness, aesthetic sensitivity, etc., as well as lack of strong discrimination between preferred sexual partners on the basis of their sex.
