They could feel both genders at the same time or be fluid between them, in which case they may also identify as [[genderfluid]]. Bigender people can experience ''any'' two genders, including [[Binary Genders|binary]] and non-binary genders. For example, a bigender person could be female and [[neutrois]]. Bigender people 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 [[bigenderflux]].

A 1997 paper concerning the "gender continuum" in International Journal of Transgenderism noted that "a person 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>
==Flag and Symbols ==
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>. It has no confirmed color meanings for most colors, but is assumed that blue represents manhood/masculinity, pink represents womanhood/femininity, and purple represents androgyny or a mix of genders. The white in the center is a reflection of the white at the center of the transgender flag, which stands for non-binary identities and represents the non-binary nature of this identity. White may also represent a shift from one gender to another. 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>
