'''Bigender''' is a [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] gender identity in which someone has two distinct gender identities. They could feel both genders at the same time or be fluid between them, in which case they may also identify as [[genderfluid]]. The two genders they experience can be [[Man|male]], [[Woman|female]], and/or any non-binary identities. Bigender people do not have to experience both genders in equal amounts.

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>

The original bigender flag was created by no-bucks-for-this-doe. The date of creation is unknown but it existed at least 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, it is still widely known this flag has become 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> The flag is also disliked as it only seems to focus on male-female bigender people.

The alternate flag by pastelflowers was created on or before January 9, 2015.<ref>https://dearprivilegedgroup.tumblr.com/post/107612802654/pastelflowers-bigender-flag-purple-in</ref> Purple (in general) represents those who are non-binary. Dark purple leans more towards blue, representing those who identify partially as male. Light purple leans more towards pink, representing those who partially identify as female. Grey represents those who partially identify as a non-binary gender. White represents genderfluidity.
Many alternate flags exist, many of them have no or unknown color meanings, though meaning can be assumed to be similar to the original flag.
There is also an [[intersex]] flag that is often incorrectly called a bigender flag, due to the creator changing the meaning after it was originally posted.▼
