Why Every Infj Is Androgynous By Nature

Why Every Infj Is Androgynous By Nature explores key ideas related to psychology, presented clearly and practically.

and partly female in appearance. And while INFJs

don’t exactly dress and act as their opposite sex,

they certainly hold some qualities that make

and INFJ men as more”feminine brained”. So.. what

exactly does that mean and why does it matter?

First and foremost, INFJs aren’t set on the

conventional ideas of who men and women are

strategic, and competitive decision makers and

women are seen as the more intuitive, sympathetic,

and submissive home makers - INFJs see all this

as one big gray area of qualities they can choose

to possess or not. Not only is this way of

thinking rooted within their non-comforming

and individualistic judgements towards life,

but also because INFJs of both genders are

intune with both their divine feminine and divine

masculine equally. The personality type itself

is built on both gender’s stereotypical traits

using their emotional mode or logical mode,

depending on the situation. They don’t see why

gender is some major dividing factor in society.

In fact, INFJs consciously as well as subconscious

rebel against this narrative because they can

see the harm such gender roles can have on a

society, which brings us to the next point..

It’s not rare for an INFJ woman to have a lot of

male friends, and the INFJ men to have a lot of

female friends. They can see what each gender

has to offer, the beauty in both the divine

masucline and the divine feminine, and they see

the ways in which both genders naturally have

a place within society. However, not only do

they not follow traditional gender roles but

they also have the innate comprehension that

the principles of femininity and masculinity

are basically made up. Just like the concept of

time, INFJs see these handed-down principles as

being arbitrary to some degree. As if they were

introduced with some sort of ulterior motive,

INFJs rarely conform, adhere to, or honor societal

systems that encourage or hint at divisiveness.

and INFJs know it's no longer logical to stand

by those beliefs and limitations as a society.

And while they can appreciate both gender roles

and the examples of people who fill those roles,

sometimes thinking too far into the concept

of this societal construct becomes useless.

Known as both a thinker and a feeler type,

all INFJs - no matter the gender - are known

for using both thought processes interchangeably

depending on the situation. Thinker types are

considered stereotypically more masuline for

their logical and analytical approach while feeler

types resort to feelings and emotions, which is

considered to be more of a feminine approach.

So, since INFJs have the unique combination of

both within their function stack they inherently

see the value of both aspects within themselves.

Depending upon the environment and the audience

they may be performing in front of, an INFJ may

also deliberately use their chameleon-like charm

and change their outward demeanor to match.

masculine or feminine because it makes them feel

comfortable, whether it’s noticeable for others

or not. However, it’s not only for the INFJs

comfort, in fact, most times this empathetic

personality type uses this approach as a tactic

to make other people feel safe around them.

Tom-boys at heart, most INFJ women have felt the

feeling of not fitting into the group of girls at

school or work. Not only are INFJ women sometimes

more comfortable with less feminine energies,

Independent, stubborn and self-reliant, INFJ women

don’t want to have to have to depend on a partner,

or really any one else for that matter. In

fact, it’s as if the INFJ woman uses their

stereotypical masculinity as a guard, protecting

their deeper inner empathy that can easily be used

against them. They don’t show their true feminine

essence without first being weary and testing the

waters with their more logical and analytical

selves. But besides that, most INFJ women prefer

a more down-to-earth appearance and approach

to life, with little interest in things like

They don’t necessarily strive for a life of glamor

and luxury as they do stability and adventure.

Number 5: INFJ men don’t follow manly stereotypes

Empathy and a deep appreciation for beauty are

unfortunately seen as predominantly female traits,

and the INFJ man is exuding them. With the

ability to see and appreciate the beauty in life,

INFJ men don’t mind to show they’re enjoyment

in the smaller things. They don’t mind taking

an extra minute to watch the sunset, sit by

themselves as they watch the tide go in and out,

or planting a flower garden for their yard. With

that being said, they may not be as willing or

interested to participate in some of the ‘male’

stereotypes like being less open about displaying

emotion and affection, being the main provider for

the family, avoiding house chores at all costs,

being promiscuous and striving for power, strength

and competitiveness. In fact, INFJ men try hard to

avoid these so-called ‘macho’ traits. One

INFJ redditor man put it simply by saying

“As a sensitive guy and the confidant of so many

female friends, I never wanted to be the piggish

straight boy stereotype that breaks hearts

and can't cook and all that goes with that.”

Number 6: They’re not particular about labels

The term androgynous refers to the outward

being feminine or masculine, but most INFJ

wouldn’t exactly label themselves as such.

When you take a look at the more philosophical

route, which is where the INFJ brain naturally

themselves as nothing more than a soul having

a human experience. Gender and everything that

comes with playing a specific gender role

but it’s not who they are at a soul level. When

they stop and look at the grand scheme of things,

the way humans take female and male stereotypes

to heart is almost humorous in a way. One INFJ

redditor said “I try not to get caught up in the

organic filing cabinet that is the human psyche,

and I just focus on myself as a being rather

than a collection of traits. Sure you can

categorize me as a certain race, gender, having

a specific sexuality, but it gets exhausting. I

just like to exist without someone else assuming

something about me due to a preconceived label.”

One of the key ulterior motives of gender roles

within a society seems to come into play when

talking about what people feel is appropriate

to do or not depending on their sex. These

unspoken limitations placed on both sides of

the gender scale not only create division but

it also creates an essence of guilt or shame

when stepping outside of these expectations.

INFJs refuse to conform to that idea. INFJs

their vivid imaginations and little hearts

desire. INFJ men cry when they need to cry,

nurture when they need to nurture, and remain

their submissive-selves no matter how much they’re

told to toughen up. INFJ women use independence

to their advantage and avoid following womanly

expectations no matter how much they’re advised

to not follow their intuition. And because of

this refusal to abide by limitations, INFJs live

life free of gender restrictions and constraints.
