Someone who is bigender has two gender identities which they can feel one at a time or simultaneously. The genders don't have to be opposite genders on any spectrum of gender identities. Nonbinary can be used to describe someone who is bigender, depending on the genders the bigender person identifies with.
Simply put, bigender refers to people who embody two or more distinct genders (for example, someone can be both a nonbinary person and a woman or a man and a woman).
Bigender refers to a person who has two gender identities or a combination of two gender identities (e.g., identifying as both male and female or identifying as agender and female). It's not to be confused with bisexuality, where a person experiences romantic, emotional, or sexual attraction to two genders.
There is a unique joy in being Bigender. Having a deep understanding of what it means to be male and female is incredibly enriching. If you're fortunate to have this duality, you have an amazing perspective that “normal” people, never will.
Multi-gender: People who identify with more than one gender. This includes people who identify as bigender, trigender, pangender, polygender, and in some cases, genderfluid. Neutrois: People who have a gender that is neither male nor female. This includes nonbinary, genderless, genderfluid, and agender identities.
This means someone can be genderfluid and straight, bisexual, or any other sexual orientation that is congurent with their internal experiences.
Someone who is bigender may express two gender identities simultaneously or one at a time. The way a bigender person appears is just as individual as the person. Their expression of their gender identity may be obvious or more reserved.

History. The term bigender came into use in the 1980s, with a particular use of it from 1988 in the form of "bigenderist". It rose in popularity and use in modern times through the online website Tumblr, and the social media app Facebook has an option for users to select "bigender" when joining the app.
Some might use a blend of binary pronouns (he/him/his and she/her/hers). Or, one might choose to use they/them pronouns and one or both sets of binary pronouns. Neopronouns are a category or pronouns that go beyond they/them/their, he/him/his, and she/her/hers.
Medical transition often involves procedures like hormone therapy or surgeries, but many agender individuals may not seek these interventions to fit into a specific gender category. However, some may choose certain medical options to enhance their comfort or address feelings of dysphoria.
While some nonbinary people use they/them pronouns, many nonbinary people use other pronouns, such as he/him, she/her, they/them, he/they, she/they, ze/hir, xe/xem, no pronouns at all, or pronouns not listed here. One way we show that we care about one another is to respect each other's pronouns and gender expression.
Ze/hir/hirs, ze/zir/zirs
The ze/hir, ze/zir pronoun sets come from the trans community as another gender-neutral pronoun set.
You can't tell if someone is nonbinary simply by looking at them, just like how you can't tell if someone is transgender just by how they look. A nonbinary person might appear feminine, masculine, or genderless, or show a mix of gendered characteristics – and their appearance doesn't determine their pronouns.
Yes, it is! There are many people who are both bigender and genderfluid. If you'd explain more on how your friend feels I could give a more educated answer. Ultimately, as a bigender person sometimes my gender is fluid or sometimes it fluxates, and that is still under the definition of bigender.
However, not all non-binary individuals are androgynous; some identify with traditionally masculine or feminine traits, use alternative descriptors such as masculine woman or feminine man, or experience or express themselves in ways that fluidly change from feminine to masculine at different times.
Rule 63, commonly referred to as genderbend, is an Internet meme that states that, as a rule, "for every character there is a gender swapped version of that character".
Bigender people can be any sexuality, which might change with the gender they're experiencing, and they are not to be confused with bisexual.
Gender identity is about who you are, while sexual orientation is about who you're attracted to. Being non-binary means that you don't identify as exclusively male or female. It's possible for someone who is non-binary to be attracted to people of any gender, including those who identify as straight.
As long as you're not using it as a slur (i.e using it as an insult or calling people "queers"), you're fine. Absolutely no one will be upset if straight people talk about watching Queer Eye with their Queer Studies class after talking about queerbaiting.
Yes. A gay man can also date a woman. Sexuality doesn't have to do with who you date. Whether their sexuality is invalidating to the person they're dating is not an objective issue.
While testosterone does suppress ovulation and make it more difficult to become pregnant, it is still possible to get pregnant, and it is not in any way a substitute for birth control. A trans man who is taking testosterone can still become pregnant if they have a uterus, ovaries, and are ovulating.
