English term or phrase: dual-gendered
Contesto: Egyptian texts state that Nun—the pre-creation chaos— possessed characteristics that were identified with four pairs of primordial powers/forces. Each pair represents the primeval *dual-gendered twins* —the masculine/feminine aspects.

Secondo voi cosa si intende in italiano per *dual-gendered twins*? Gemelli primordiali di entrambi i sessi?

Grazie!
