'''Bigender''' is a [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] gender identity in which someone has two distinct gender identities. One could feel both genders at the same time or be fluid between them, in which case they may also identify as [[genderfluid]]. Bigender individuals can experience ''any'' two genders, including [[Binary Genders|binary]] and non-binary genders. For example, a bigender individual could be [[male]] and [[neutrois]]. Those who are bigender do not have to experience both genders in equal amounts. One or both of their genders could be fluid or [[genderflux|fluctuating]], in which case they may identify as bigenderfluid, [[bigenderflux]], and if they identify as both bigenderfluid and bigenderflux, they may identify as [[bigenderfluix]]. |

A 1997 paper concerning the "gender continuum" in International Journal of Transgenderism noted that "a individual who feels or acts as both a woman and a man may identify as bi-gendered."<ref>https://cdn.atria.nl/ezines/web/IJT/97-03/numbers/symposion/ijtc0102.htm</ref> A 1999 survey conducted by the San Francisco Department of Public Health observed that, among the transgender community, less than 3% of those who were [[AMAB|assigned male at birth]] and less than 8% of those who were [[AFAB|assigned female at birth]] identified as bigender.<ref>http://hivinsite.ucsf.edu/InSite?page=cftg-02-02</ref> |

The original bigender flag was created by no-bucks-for-this-doe. The date of creation is unknown but it existed before July 30, 2014<ref>https://pridearchive.tumblr.com/post/93315678776/bigender-pride</ref>. Blue represents masculinity, pink represents femininity, and purple represents being non-binary. The placement of the pink and blue stripes on opposite ends of the flag are to represent a sense of separation, yet coexistence between masculinity and femininity. Although widely used, the flag is controversial due to allegations of the creator being abusive and transphobic.<ref>https://detailcentral.tumblr.com/post/136214499011/callout-for-jewishkuvirasunny</ref><ref>https://bigendering.tumblr.com/post/185984619951/hey-just-so-you-know-theres-some-rumors-going</ref> |

Instagram user double_gender published their redesign on April 8, 2021. It was intended to keep the original flag's colors, but with a different order. The "rose of the winds" in the center was placed to represent "total freedom over which of these two genders you can live," and was designed to resemble a compass. |
