'''Cusper''' is an identity defined by feeling like one is on the "cusp" between being [[transgender
One might not feel like either label solely defines them and their experiences, like both identities are important to them and inseparable to each other, like their identity encompasses elements of the traditional definition of both labels, or like their identity exists at the intersection of both experiences. It may involve a [[Gender Presentation|gendered presentation]] term.
