Does androgyny affect how we view the LGBT community? Just because someone is androgynous does not automatically make them a member of the LGBT community. We typically assign them that status because of our own societal belief that a man should look and dress like a man and a woman should also dress accordingly. I have many friends who are androgynous. Some of them identify as gay, some as straight; the point is that there are many different "types" of person. My religious friends would say that we're all cookies on God's cookie sheet. The point is that it comes down to personal preference. A straight woman can dress in wrangler jeans and a flannel shirt. Her prerogative. The end. That is not an issue of gay or straight. It's an issue of what is comfortable; personal identity trumps all.
