Bigender

Bigender or bi-gender describes a tendency to move between feminine and masculine gender-typed behaviour, depending on context. People who exhibit these traits are also sometimes referred to as Dual Gender or Two Spirits. Some bigendered individuals express a distinctly "en femme" persona and a distinctly "en homme" persona, feminine and masculine respectively; others express qualities in between the two. It is recognized by the American Psychological Association (APA) as a subset of the transgender group. 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 genetic males and less than 8% of those who were genetic females identified as bigender.
