Bigender
Updated:Bigender is a gender identity where an individual experiences two distinct gender identities, either simultaneously or varying between the two. These gender identities can be any combination of male, female, or non-binary genders. Bigender individuals may feel a strong connection to both genders equally, or their sense of gender may fluctuate between the two identities over time.
Additional Information
Bigender falls under the non-binary and transgender umbrella terms. It's important to note that bigender is different from genderfluid, as bigender individuals specifically experience two distinct genders, while genderfluid people may experience a wider range of gender identities. Bigender individuals may choose to express their gender in various ways, including through clothing, pronouns, or physical appearance, which may change depending on which gender identity they feel more strongly at a given time.
Examples
A bigender person who identifies as both male and female might use both he/him and she/her pronouns, alternating based on how they feel on a given day.
Someone who is bigender might express themselves in a masculine way one week and a feminine way the next, reflecting their internal sense of gender identity.
