bigender
Experiencing two genders
Bigender describes a person who identifies as having two genders, typically male and female, either simultaneously or shifting between them.
Unlike nonbinary identities that reject the gender binary entirely, bigender people experience both: As someone who's bigender, some days I feel more masculine, other days more feminine.
