Bisukupuoli on sukupuoli-identiteetti, joka kuuluu monisukupuolsisiin-, muunsukupuolisiin- ja transsukupuolisiin identiteetteihin. Bisukupuolisilla on kaksi erillistä sukupuolta, joko samanaikaisesti tai eriaikaisesti. Jälkimmäinen on muoto vaihtelevasta sukupuolesta. Se voi sisältää vaihtelua kahden sukupuolen välillä tai harmaata noiden kahden välillä. Nuo kaksi sukupuolta voivat olla binäärisiä, jollaiseksi bisukupuolisuus usein ymmärretään, mutta voi myös sisältää muunsukupuolisen sukupuolia. Bisukupuolisuus on American Psychologic Associationin (APA) tunnustama transukupuoli-identiteetti.

Historia

In the 1980s, a trans organization called the Human Outreach and Achievement Institute defined "bigenderist" as a type of androgyne, with the latter being defined as "a person who can comfortably express either alternative gender role in a variety of socially acceptable environments."[1][2]

In 1992, Donna Mobley wrote in The Femme Mirror magazine:

« I'm neither a man pretending to be a woman nor a woman pretending to be a man. I'm dual-gendered and happily so. Don and Donna coexist and together they make up who and all that I truly am. To lose either part would leave me empty, since neither can exist without the other.[3] »

A trans man named Gary Bowen defined "bigendered" as "having two genders, exihibiting[sic] cultural characteristics of male and female roles" in his 1995 Dictionary of Words for Masculine Women".[4]

Vuoden 1997 dokumentti International Journal of Transgenderism -lehdessä totesi "henkilö, joka tuntee tai toimii kuin mies sekä nainen voi kokea olevansa bisukupuolinen". Dokumentti myös kuvasi henkilöitä, jotka olivat kumpaakin binääristä sukupuolta, mutta olivat "enemmän miestä kuin naista" tai "enemmän naista kuin miestä".

Vuonna 1999 "San Francisco Department of public Healt":n tekemä kysely huomasi, kuinka transyhteisön keskuudessä alle 3% syntyessä miehiksi ilmoitetuista ja alle 8% syntymässä naisiksi merkatuista identifioi itsensä bisukupuolisiksi.

Vuoden 2010 tietosanakirjassa bisukupuolisuus oli listattuna neutraalien sukupuolten tyyppinä. "Neutraalit sukupuolet sisältävät pansukupuolen, bisukupuolen, ambisukupuolen ei-sukupuolisuuden, sukupuolettomuuden, genderfluidin ja intersukupuolen."

In 2012, Case and Ramachandran gave a report on the results of a survey of genderfluid people who call themselves bigender who experience involuntary alternation between female and male states. Case and Ramachandran gave this condition the name "Alternating gender incongruity (AGI)." Case and Ramachandran made the hypothesis that gender alternation may reflect an unusual degree (or depth) of hemispheric switching, and the corresponding suppression of sex appropriate body maps in the parietal cortex. They said that "we hypothesize that tracking the nasal cycle, rate of binocular rivalry, and other markers of hemispheric switching will reveal a physiological basis for AGI individuals' subjective reports of gender switches... We base our hypotheses on ancient and modern associations between the left and right hemispheres and the male and female genders."[5][6][7] These doctors think that when bigender people feel a change between their gender identities, it might have to do with a change in how they use parts of their brains. The gender change might also have to do with one of the cycles that everyone has in their body, specifically, a valve in the nose that changes sides every two days (the nasal cycle). This is only a hypothesis, meaning that it is an interesting idea that doesn't have proof for now.

Vuoden 2014 Facebookissa bisukupuolisuus oli lisätty yhdeksi viidestäkymmenestäkuudesta sukupuolivaihtoehdosta.

In July of 2014, two bigender pride flag designs by Tumblr user no-bucks-for-this-doe were posted on the blog "pridearchive".[8] The first flag has seven horizontal stripes: two shades of pink on the top, followed by a lavender stripe, white middle stripe, another lavender stripe, and two shades of blue on the bottom. The second flag is the same except that the middle stripe is a gradient of white-to-grey. The color meanings were given thusly:

« The quote text is missing. »

In later years, many alternate bigender pride flags were created after allegations that no-bucks-for-this-doe was transphobic and predatory.[9][10][11]

Vuonna 2015 "Dictionary.com" lisäsi kohdan bisukupuolisuudelle tekstillä "henkilö, jolla on kaksi sukupuoli-identiteettiä tai yhdistelmä kahdesta sukupuolesta."

Vuonna 2017 bisukupuolisuus oli yksi 37:stä sukupuolivaihtoehdosta Tinderissä.

Sukupuolen näyttäminen ulkonäössä

Bisukupuoliset ihmiset "liikkuvat feminiinisen ja maskuliinisen sukupuolityypitetyn käyttäytymisen välillä konteksista riippuen. Jotkut bisukupuoliset henkilöt näyttävät ulospäin selkeästi naisellisen persoonan tai selkeästi miehekkään persoonan. ... Jotkut taas ovat enemmän harmaan sävyjä siitä väliltä."

A few years back, there were accusations flying around that the original creator of the 'official' bigender flag showed signs of being transphobic and predatory. Thus, many members of the bigender community felt uncomfortable associating with the original bigender flag. There have been many attempts across the years to conceptualize a brand-new bigender flag – one that's free from the questionable reputation of its designer.
