Wikipedia is, next to the Wheel, one of man’s greatest inventions. There are a few people who disagree, claiming it’s “imperfect” and the information contained therein is “inaccurate”, but you know what? I don’t cite Wikipedia when writing an in-depth essay. That’s not the point, either. The point is, there is a wealth of mankind’s knowledge kept in one place, for anyone to see. Where people can learn without pretense.

And it has been as of late my one-stop-shop for definitions of the human sexuality spectrum. I’ve always been that weird girl who was not like the other when her class was segregated by gender. And I didn’t like playing with the other girls, either. None of them liked Bill Nye The Science Guy, or playing in the woods, or Gundam. I was the only girl in my private school who opted to wear pants instead of a skirt. And by golly, I was absolutely not interested in gossiping about cute boys.

So when I was granted so humbly the power of Wikipedia, I wanted to explain my quirks. Wanting answers, like a true follower of scientific theory.

I got a few things that matched my persona: Extremely INTJ? Maybe. Schizoid personality disorder? That’s certainly a factor, but that isn’t it either. What about asexuality? Recently disproven. I’ve had my share of guy-crushes that I would not admit freely.

What do we have left? Well, bigender, of course.

So what is it? Well, Wikipedia says: “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.”

And:

“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.”

So do we have it? Is this it? Maybe. Someone once said, “Human sexuality is not black and white, it’s a color wheel.” I’m just a cadmium red in the rainbow.
