An alternative term with a similar meaning is ''maxigender''<ref>{{cite book|title=The ABC's of LGBT+|last=Mardell|first=Ashley|year=2016}}</ref>, since some people on Tumblr who don't identify as pangender argue that it is appropriative of [[Ethnicity and culture|culturally-specific]] and [[Neurogender|neurotype-specific]] genders. The reason for that, according to them, is that no one can identify as all genders, as this would include culturally-specific or neurotype-specific genders.<ref>[https://bigendering.tumblr.com/post/161250119616/reminder-about-pangender Reminder about pangender], 30 May 2017 | An alternative term with a similar meaning is ''maxigender''<ref>{{cite book|title=The ABC's of LGBT+|last=Mardell|first=Ashley|year=2016}}</ref>, since some people on Tumblr who don't identify as pangender argue that it is appropriative of [[Ethnicity and culture|culturally-specific]] and [[Neurogender|neurotype-specific]] genders.
