I learned that Fjorgyn is a Norse Deity and all of them said female.
One site, however, does mention that Fjorgynn (note the extra N) is Frigga's father, noting it's similarity to the word for Earth, fjorgyn.
There's nothing that explicitly lists Fjorgyn as an androgynous figure, but I can see where seeing the name referring to both Frigga's father and Thor's mother might cause some people to interpret it as such.

 Aesir
Odin was the father of his eldest son, Thor, by Jörd (Jord or Fjörgyn (Fjorgyn)), a giantess (some say Frigg was Thor's mother).
Thor was the son of Odin and the giantess Jörd (Jord), Fjörgyn (Fjorgyn) or Hlódyn (goddess of the earth).
Tyr was possibly the son of Odin and of Frigg or the giantess Fjörgyn (Fjorgyn), and younger of brother of Thor.

Fjorgyn means "earth" so her father, Fjorgyn, could very well be the earth.

Originally Fjorgyn was booked for a swedish breeder, but due to personal reasons the breeder couldn't take her after all.
At that time Fjorgyn was almost 10 months old, because it takes a while to make a cat *ready* to go to Sweden from Denmark.
Because we had had Fjorgyn for so long, we desided to keep her home.

Her wagon was richly adorned and drawn by cats, closely associated with magic and sensuousness, and her love of jewellery was emblazoned on her breast in the form of her dazzling necklace Brisingamen, an emblem of the stars and of fruitfulness-to-be.
Her dark mystery was gradually supplanted by the more tangible nature of her daughter, who in turn was the parent of Frigg.
In a parallel to the Greek Ouranos and Gaia, Fjorgyn can be seen as the spouse of Odin in his earlier guise of Tiwaz, an arrangement reflected in the coupling of celestial and terrestrial generations to come.

In Baltic mythology Perkunas is linked both to a mountain — in Lithuanian mythology Perkunas lives on the top of a hill reaching the sky — and to oaks, growing in sacral places, or to sacred oak woods.
Related to Perkunas are such Indo-European gods as Slavonic Perun, Parjanya who is mentioned in the Rigveda, the Germanic goddess Fjorgyn, the gods Donar, Thor, etc.
Perkunas’s functions coincide with thunder gods of the Near East; with Baal, for instance, he is related by his care of fertility.

Frigga is believed to have originated as a much older and widely worshipped Earth goddess known as Jorth (also spelt as: Jõrth, Iord), or Nerthus.
She has also been identified as the daughter of Fjorgyn (also spelled: Fiorgvin, Fjorgvin, or Fiorgyn) and is sometimes confused with the goddess Freya, for both are deities of love and fertility.
Other goddesses about whom almost nothing is known, but also identified with Frigga include some of those named as her servants: Gefjon, Hlin, Saga, and Eir.

In "Lokasenna" we are told that Frigga is the daughter of Fjorgynn.
The feminine name Fjorgyn is also given to Jordh, Earth.
Either way, she is the daughter of Jotnar, kin to Thor by blood as well as marriage, which may explain why so many of those who work with Thor find themselves drawn to Frigga as well.
