Biird is a type of gender presentation that encompasses having no definitive sex characteristics. Biirds may present androgynously or mix masculine and feminine presentation together, such as having a flat chest and shaved legs. Biirds usually have flamboyant gender neutral sets of clothes based on specific color choices, such as a preferred palette of colors or real life species of birds and their typical flamboyant colorations.
Biird is similar to bear, which encompasses queer masculinity.
