Etymology

From bio- + gender.

Meanings

1. Biological gender.
   • In order that the trans-individual's preferred gender is visible, their bio-gender or gender-diversity must, to a certain extent, be invisible. 2010, Sally Hines, “Recognising Diversity: The Gender Recognition Act and Transgender Citizenship”, in Sally Hines, Tam Sanger, editors, Transgender Identities: Towards a Social Analysis of Gender Diversity, page 130:
   • But those analyses don't ask whether it is easier to be trans than to be in a perceived bio-gender, that is, a gender that seems to “follow” from natal sex. 2006, Judith Butler, “Undiagnosing Gender”, in Paisley Currah, Richard M. Juang, Shannon Price Minter, editors, Transgender Rights, unnumbered page:
   • Gender expression is a central theme, and all four trans children displayed indicators or signifiers that were in line with gender-nonconforming behavior early on in their lives, so much so that the parents were able to recognize that their child was not behaving in a manner congruent with their biogender. 2017, Cecillia Barron, Moshoula Capous-Desyllas, “Transgressing the Gendered Norms in Childhood: Understanding Transgender Children and Their Families”, in Journal of GLBT Family Studies, volume 13:
