There's agender (identifying with no gender) demigirl (identifying partly as a girl), bigender (identifying with two genders), genderfluid (gender can change daily) and there are more

It is completely understandable that you are confused about your gender; many people struggle with how to define their gender identity. This is because gender is a very fluid part of you. Here is a great resource on gender identity: http://www.thetrevorproject.org/pages/trans-gender-identity# Be well & I wish you the best of luck.

There is probably an infinite number of genders out there - some lie on a spectrum between what is considered "masculine" and what is considered "feminine", some are a combination of a few at once (bigender, trigender, etc.), some people's identities change over time (genderfluid), and some are outside of the spectrum, not identifying with a gender at all (agender). No matter how you feel in regards to your gender, it is a proper identity - be who you are!

That is fine! You do not need to identify as either boy or girl. Some people are agender, or genderfluid, or switch their gender identity from time to time. Do whatever makes you happy. There are no borders and you certainly don't have to conform to societal gender roles! Some Inuit folks have 4 genders, for example. You are who you are, so be who you want to be!

The big problem here, is that people think we need to fit in a "box". As an exemple; if you are born as a girl, they'll try to fit you in the "Girls" box. You'll be expected to behave in a certain way, dress in a certain way, and like specific things. It's all about the boxes. As those original two boxes weren't enough to everyone to fit (As you said, you don't feel like you fit any of them), the Q comminity createa a lot of other boxes. But the problem is still there! This problem resides on the boxes. Even if we have a variety of boxes because people needed more options, we're still forcing them to FIT somewhere. And to fit, we have to adapt, and in most of times, change, even if just a little bit. So please! Don't think you HAVE to be unconfortable to fit one of those boxes! We don't need boxes! They were built up! They're not natural. Society built them, but if we "unbuilt"(Is that a word? (I'm brazilian)) them, people won't have to be labelled! They won't have to change" They won't be expected to act, dress or live in a certain way... I know this would probably never happen, but I dream about a world where there are no boxes! I don't think we need more genders to force people to fit in one of them! We need no genders at all!

There's a variety of genders. There's bigender (a combination of the traditional binary genders), trigender or pan gender (a feeling of a third gender and/or all genders), agender (no specific feeling of gender), genderfluid (a fluctuating gender that can be any gender on the spectrum), demiboy (someone who is partly boy and partly an something else) and demigirl (someone who is partly girl and partly someone else). You can also identify as fully male and still be extremely feminine. Or identify as fully female and be extremely masculine. As you can see from the few genders I listed, there's more than just the binary genders. It's all about how you feel inside. you'll have to do some research and explore yourself to realise what you chose to identify as. But remember you don't have to identify as anything if you chose not to.

There is a whole set of other identifiers such as agender, nonbinary, queer, or genderfluid. They cover people who feel like they are multiple gendered, no gendered or anything in between.

I don't know a lot about the topic but agender sounds right here. In the end gender is a very complicated concept, it is a social construct and no one can truly define gender or name all the gender there are. You are who you are and you don't have to conform or label yourself. You're still valid and you're certainly not alone.

There are over 50 non-binary genders, but I'll focus on the more common ones: Agender: no gender Bigender: between male and female Genderfluid: gender may shift depending on mood or time Demigirl: part female - part something else Demiboy: part male - part something else Pangender: every gender Androgyne: not quite male of female or a mix of the two Epicene: lacks gender distinction, has both masculine and feminine parts but identifies as neither Genderqueer: unsure of gender / lacks specific definition / umbrella term for non-binary
