Gods/Goddesses
Many cultures and religions offer an abundance of androgynous gods, goddesses, and dieties. Many are half male and half female, and others have a variance of both traits. This is often because the figure in question is attributed to balance or fertility.
In Buddhism, Avalokitesvara is an androgynous bodhisattva meant to embody all buddhas. They are portrayed as both male and female across different cultures
