'''Cusper ''' is an identity defined by feeling like one is on the “cusp”"cusp" between being [[transgender ]] and a [[Gender Non-Conforming|gender non-conforming]] [[cisgender]] person or between [[Binary Genders|binary genders]] in general; (Forfor example, feeling like one’sone's experiences and feeling towards their gender falls between being a trans man and a [[butch]] [[lesbian]]).<ref>https://cusperwiki.tumblr.com/info</ref>
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.
TheyCuspers may transition partly, and be known as either gender in different contexts of their life, (ie:such gladlyas passing as a man at the workplace, but also being comfortable with being called their significant other's girlfriend).
Other examples of people who might feel the term cusper fits them are:
*A [[transfeminine]] gender non-conforming [[gay]] man; theywho may taketakes estrogen , havehas undergone top surgery and referrefers to themselves as a woman sometimes, but preferprefers not to have any other procedures or “pass”pass fully as a woman.
*A [[transmasculine]] butch lesbian: theywho may useuses he/him pronouns, havehas undergone bottom surgery, and changechanged their legal gender;, but still beis okaycomfortable with being referred to and proudly identifyidentifies as a butch lesbian and as a woman in certain contexts.
It is not clearly defined whom the term cusper applies to, although gender non-conformity, which is inherent to this identity, is most usually associated with [[sapphic]] and [[achillean]] people.
Identity wise, there’s no definitive line as to who can take on/identify with the cusper label. although it’s inherently gender non-conforming, and gender non-conformity is historically and currently linked to [[Achillean|mlm]] and [[Sapphic|wlw]], but there’s nothing inherently stopping those who aren’t mlm or wlw from using this label.
It should be noted that this term was originally popularized by TERFs[[TERF]]s, but as the definition is neutral in nature, it can be considered a reclaimed term.
