Hello! I was wondering if you know if there's a label for this feeling. I experience masculinity in relation to my female feelings and femininity in relation to my male feelings. I haven't found a word for it yet!

Hey there, anon! Thanks for your question. :-)
If I understand correctly, you are saying that you experience masculinity through your femaleness and that you experience femininity through your maleness. To my knowledge, there isn’t a word to describe that exact situation, but I do have some words that are quite similar. If none of the terms I list below suffice, please feel free to send me another message and I would be happy to help you coin a term or provide a platform for you to submit one if you would like to coin a term yourself. :-)
Most similar to what you are describing would be the terms Vidfirma and Vidfirmus, which don’t appear to have been archived or even posted on tumblr, but on Amino. The definition of this term is quite lengthy, so, in my own words, Vidfirmus is an ambiguous gender where masculinity and femininity are uniquely distinct, yet drawn together into an androgynous form where masculinity is dominant, yet explicitly experienced through the perspective of femininity. Vidfirma is an ambiguous gender where masculinity and femininity are unique distinct, yet drawn together into an androgynous form where femininity is dominant, yet explicitly experience through the perspective of masculinity. If you feel like you relate to these two terms, I suppose you could refer to yourself as a Vidfirmis to communicate a bigender, gendervast, etc., though this term has not been coined to my knowledge. Why Vidfirmis? The dative plural form of “firmus”/”firma” is “firmis”, which is the same for the masculine, feminine and neuter case (trying to keep with the syntax of the coiner!).
Some other somewhat close (pairs of) terms include:
- Gent
I thought about this for a little while longer and did some more reading, and I realized that the terms Vidfirma and Vidfirmus have a nonbinary counterpart called “Vidfirmum”. I originally suggested “Vidfirmis” as a way to communicate a Vidfirmus/Vidfirma bigender identity, because it was the same across all three grammatical genders, but since “Vidfirmum” is a term, the syntax implies that the term “vidfirmis” would be a sort of trigender/gendervast/etc. of all three. For this reason, I would like to suggest “Vidfirme” to describe the aforementioned bigender. In the ablative case, the terms would “-firmo” and “-firma”, so “-firme” would be a neologistic conjugation, as there is no natural conjugation that is both grammatically feminine and masculine without also being neuter.
- Gent
definition: “when u could care less ab gender but hey memes sure are neat”! as further explained, “for nb people who rly couldnt give a fuck about gender and just like pissing off truscum bc usually those ppl use memes in order to convey their sarcasm and shit”
