Bigender

While an androgynous person retains the same gender-typed behaviour across situations, the bigendered person consciously or unconsciously changes their gender-role behaviour from primarily masculine to primarily feminine, or vice versa.

Vessels sailing under the Brazil country flag are required to have on board this flag as part of flag state requirements that derive from maritime regulations in the International Code of Signals and the International Safety Management (ISM) Code. These codes are published by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) as an ongoing effort to reinforce maritime safety procedures and communications to the international maritime community. Fleet management companies and ship owners are responsible to ensure that each vessel in their respective fleets have the appropriate flag signage onboard to be in compliance. This flag is used to identify the flag state a vessel is sailing under and to communicate with other vessels under the provisions of the International Code of Signals.

It is worth noting that this concept emerged from within the transgender community itself, rather than being adopted after it was created by another sub-culture (for example, transsexual was defined first by the mental health community).

Brazil's national flag is one of the most intricate and beautiful of all the flags around the world. It is a blue disc depicting a starry sky covering a curved band with the national motto inscription "Ordem e Progresso" Order and Progress, within a yellow diamond shape on a green field. Brazil officially adopted this flag design for its national flag day on the 19th of November, 1889. The concept for this flag was the work of Raimundo Teixeira Mendes. The green field and yellow diamond from the previous flag of Brazil remain. The green field represents the House of Braganza of Pedro I, the first Emperor of Brazil. The yellow is significant to the House of Habsburg and his wife, Empres Maria Leopoldina. A blue circle with 27 white, five-pointed stars replaced the arms of the Empire of Brazil. The stars, whose positiions have all been intricately placed, are designed to reflect the sky of Rio de Janeiro, as well as the union's federated state, each star for a specific state, plus one for the Federal District of Brazil.

Bigender (bi+gender) is a tendency to move between masculine and feminine gender-typed behaviour depending on context, expressing a distinctly "en femme" persona and a distinctly "en homme" persona, feminine and masculine respectively. It is a subset of transgender.

Some express their bigender identity through crossdressing or performing as a drag king/drag queen; others may adopt a strictly masculine, feminine, or androgynous appearance and experience the shift between genders on a purely mental, or only subtly physical, level.

bigender意思

Because bigender is still a self-applied label, it is not possible to give a definitive outline of the typical bigender. Any description of a bigender is just an example of what someone who identifies as bigender might be like. Although there are patterns, the only firm characteristic is the sense of dual gender.

It might seem that a bigender identity must go with a bisexual identity but gender identity and sexual orientation are independent. It is possible to be bigender and not bisexual, or bisexual but not bigender.

For some bigenders, labels like gay, lesbian or bisexual can seem less relevant or satisfactory due to their focus on physiological sex. Some might prefer terms that refer to gender (see Gynephilia and androphilia) while others might prefer to not specify a sexual orientation at all. Since bigender is a gender-related term, not an erotic one, a bigender can of course be asexual.

While performers such as David Bowie and Boy George are known for combining masculine and feminine aspects, performers who switch between a primarily masculine or feminine image, such as Eddie Izzard and Annie Lennox, better fit the bigender label. It is good to keep in mind, however, that crossdressing is not always related to gender identity, as it can be a purely erotic act.
