Androgyny, celibacy, and outright gender confusion are no strangers to some of music's most memorable lyrics... Here's a listen back at some that are hard to forget.
This classic pretty much embodies the post theme... As mentioned on a previous post, in a nut shell, the New York Dolls created glam and everything that came with it. For the first time in media they brought attention to cross-dressing, trashiness, and sexual confusion, and "Personality Crisis" is one of the most comprehensive song's on the subject.
Again, another classic about gender confusion... "Walk on the Wild Side" is arguably Lou Reed's most poignant solo work. The song helped lift awareness about the often experimental 70's.
Blur - Girls And Boys

Probably the best and most confusing sexually-confused song, "Girls and Boys" addressed how open society was becoming about sexual experimentation.
It doesn't take long to discover the androgyny here... Black Kids frontman Reggie Youngblood cries "You are the girl that I've been dreaming of, ever since I was a little girl" with vocals that add even more confusion to the subject's sexuality.
