    Okay, so I'm probably not as educated as I should be in the ways of gender identity (although I am learning). But I can't quite find the right term to suit me. I have a few that I loosely identify with but I need help clarifying a few definitions so I can decide on the best one to use.

    I was assigned female at birth, and for the most part identify as female. I considered demigirl, because I do loosely identify as female, but with a lot of masculine traits. I know I'm not male, that's a definite. However, I also considered Agender. I do identify with both demigirl and agender. I guess in a sort of bigender way? identifying with both demigirl and agender. The problem is that the two are contradictory.... so I was wondering if there was a term that would describe me identifying with both? would it just be bigender? or is there a term for feeling like you have no gender some of the time and loosely identifying as female at others? genderfluid? because again I feel that's an umbrella term and one that I don't particularly identify with...

    Someone just give me a term that will accurately describe identifying loosely as female, and also agender.. I would say it's shifting like genderfluid people, but it isn't. they're both constant factors.. like I have dual genders but simultaneously? female loosely but another gender entirely at the same time?

    Or maybe it's just too out there and there isn't a term. I don't know. just curious.

    I think I've read somewhere that bigender isn't always both male and female at the same time.

    So you think I could use bigender to state that I feel like a demigirl/ agender person? I guess so
