Not to be confused with Midbinary or Midgender.
Mid-Binary is a gender identity in which one's gender is made up of genders in between the binary genders and the non-binary spectrum.
The mid-binary spectrum contains those who have both a binary gender and a non-binary gender fused into one single gender, as well as those that may feel full connections to both genders at once or as one. They have a fusion of two genders, and they are not always separate from each other. They are not 100% female and are not 100% male.
This is different from multigender because multigender means to have multiple genders at varying times or all at once; mid-binary persons, on the other hand, have both genders act as one and they recognize their genders to be one instead of multiple.
Mid-Binary is always included under the transgender umbrella, but choose not to user transgender as a label for themselves.
As an umbrella term, mid-binary represents every gender that is a fusion between a binary gender and a non-binary gender into one gender identity.
