'''Bigender''', of '''bi-gender''' is een genderidentiteit onder de multigender, non-binaire, en transgender paraplu termen. Bigenderre mensen hebben twee onderscheiden genderidentiteiten, of op hetzelfde moment, of op verschillende momenten. Het laatste is een vorm van een gendervloeiende identiteit, en kan slechts twee onderscheiden genders met zich brengen, of het kan 'tinten grijs tussen de twee' bevatten. De twee genders van een bigendere persoon kan de twee binaire genders, vrouwelijk en mannelijk, zijn. Dit is wat mensen er meestal van uit gaan bigender betekent. Sommige mensen die zich identificeren als bigender hebben echter een ander paar genders. Hun twee genders kunnen bijvoorbeeld vrouwelijk en neutrois zijn. Of de twee genders kunnen beiden non-binair zijn, zoals agender en aporagender. Bigender is erkend door de American Psychological Association (APA) als een subcategorie van de transgender-groep.

==Geschiedenis==

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
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."<ref>"Brochure for the Human Outreach and Achievement Institute."

In 1992, Donna Mobley wrote in ''The Femme Mirror'' magazine:
{{quote|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.

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".<ref name="Bowen">{{cite web|author=Bowen, Gary|title=A Dictionary of Words for Masculine Women|work=FTM International|date=15 May 1995|url=http://www.ftm-intl.org/Wrtngs/ftm-words.gary.html |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/19961105010926/http://www.ftm-intl.org/Wrtngs/ftm-words.gary.html|archive-date=5 November 1996}}</ref>

In een document over het 'gender continuüm' in het 'International Journal of Transgenderism' uit 1997 staat dat 'een persoon die zich voelt en gedraagt als beide een vrouw en een man kan zich identificeren als bi-genderd'.' Het document beschrijft ook individuen die 'gendergemengd' zijn, mensen die beide binaire genders zijn maar of 'meer man dan vrouw' of 'meer vrouw dan man'.

Een enquête uit 1999, opgesteld door het San Francisco Department of Public Health, had opgemerkt dat te midden van de transgender gemeenschap minder dan 3% van de AMAB mensen en minder dan 8% van de AFAB mensen zich identificeerden als bigender.

In een encyclopedie uit 2010 staat bigender als een type van androgyn gender: 'Androgyne identiteiten bevatten pangender, bigender, ambigender, non-genderd, agender, gendervloeiend, of intergender.'

In 2021 gaven Case en Ramachandran een rapport over de resultaten van een enquête voor gendervloeiende mensen die henzelf bigender noemden, die een onvrijwillige afwisseling tussen vrouwelijke en mannelijke staten ervaren. Case en Ramachandran gaven deze conditie de naam 'afwisselende genderongelijkheid (AGI)'. Case en Ramachandran stelden de hypothese op dat geslachtsverandering een ongebruikelijke mate (of diepte) van hemisferische omschakeling kan weerspiegelen, en de overeenkomstige onderdrukking van geslachtsspecifieke lichaamskaarten in de pariëtale cortex. Ze zeiden dat "we veronderstellen dat het volgen van de nasale cyclus, het tempo van binoculaire rivaliteit en andere markers van hemisferische omschakeling een fysiologische basis zal onthullen voor de subjectieve rapporten van AGI-individuen over geslachtsveranderingen ... We baseren onze hypothesen op oude en moderne associaties tussen de linker- en rechterhersenhelft en de mannelijke en vrouwelijke geslachten. " Deze dokters denken dat wanneer bigendere mensen een verandering tussen hun genderidentiteiten voelen, het te maken kan hebben met een verandering in hoe ze hun hersenen gebruiken. De genderverandering van ook te maken hebben met één van de cyclussen die iedereen heeft in hun lichaam, vooral een klep in de neus die elke twee dagen van kant verandert (de nasale cyclus). Dit is slechts een hypothese, het is dus een interessant idee dat nog geen bewijs heeft.

In 2014 was bigender één van de 56 genders die beschikbaar werden gemaakt op Facebook.

In 2017 was bigender één van de 37 gender opties die toegevoegd waren aan het dating netwerk Tinder.

==Genderexpressie==

Bigendere mensen 'bewegen tussen vrouwelijk en mannelijk gender-typisch gedrag afhankelijk van de context. Sommige bigendere individuen uiten een onderscheiden 'en femme' persona en een onderscheiden 'en homme' persona [...] anderen hebben grijstinten tussen de twee.'
