This page is about a gender identity that is not widely used among gender-variant people. This does not mean that the identity is not valid, but that very few people are known to use this term. More information on uncommon identities... |

Amalgagender is a nonbinary identity defined as "A gender that is affected by, or mixed into one's intersex identity." It is a label intended for use by intersex people only.[1][2] It was presumably coined from the word "amalgam" which means "a combination of different things".
History
"Amalgagender" seems to have been coined by Tumblr user intermisogyny in August 2015.[2]
In 2017, a Bristol Post article about nonbinary terms included "amalgagender", though with a wrong definition, saying that amalgagender people "Are intersex and identify as intersex".[3] A 2018 piece on Psychology Today also defined it incorrectly, as "Intersex people born with a mixed male/female anatomy".[4]
In 2018, Washington state began to allow "X" gender markers on official documents[5], with the law stating that
| « | "X" means a gender that is not exclusively male or female, including, but not limited to, intersex, agender, amalgagender, androgynous, bigender, demigender, female-to-male, genderfluid, genderqueer, male-to-female, neutrois, nonbinary, pangender, third sex, transgender, transsexual, Two Spirit, and unspecified.[6] | » |
