{{Content warning|reclaimed slurs}}This '''list of uncommon nonbinary identities''' contains gender identities that have less record of their use, according to community census results and historical information, or sometimes no record at all, beyond their coinage and inclusion in glossaries. This does not mean that the identity is not valid, but that not many people have decided to use it ([[Nonbinary_Wiki: Uncommon identities|More information...]]). See also the [[list of nonbinary identities]] for more common ones. | |||
In order to keep the wiki accurate to the lived experiences of nonbinary people, identities should only be listed here if they cite from at least two separate external sources, showing both: | |||
1. origin (such as a source about how the term was coined, or at least history of the term's use), and | |||
2. evidence that the identity has actually been used as someone's own identity. Acceptable evidence includes presence in at least one Gender Census result, a news article, or published nonfiction book describing an actual person using it. | |||
A design for a pride flag does not count toward origin or evidence of use. A personal blog does not count toward evidence of use. A source citation of a web page counts if it is either a live link, or an archive of a dead link, but dead links by themselves are not acceptable. | |||

* '''Meaning:''' A person who was assigned male at birth, and had some or all of their genitals removed. Historically, there have been many people who had this done to them without their consent. However, there have also been many people who voluntarily and intentionally sought out this procedure, specifically in order to relieve their discomfort with having those genitals, or to stop other physical characteristics that are the result of masculinization from having testicles, such as body hair or a low voice. Some transgender people think of themselves as eunuchs. Many eunuchs have considered themselves to be men. However, many other eunuchs have thought of their status as a eunuch as a gender identity outside of the binary. This has been the case with eunuchs historically, in many different cultures, and today.<ref>"Eunuch." Susan's Place Transgender Resource Wiki."

* '''Meaning:''' The lunarian identity expresses a similarity with feminine genders, alignments, or experiences. It's a replacement for "feminine-aligned", "fem-aligned," or "female-aligned." <ref name="stellunarian" /> Lunarian is an identity from the [[galactian system]], which is an alternative classification system for nonbinary people based on the alignment in relation to the binary genders. Instead of ''male-aligned'' and ''female-aligned'', it uses concepts that are not related to the binarist system, such as the sun, the moon and the stars. It's worth noting that these words were not coined to describe genders, but a relation towards a binary gender - an alignment. For instance, an agender person may identify as lunarian because they have experiences in common with women, despite not being a woman themself.<ref name="vergess describing alignment" /> | |||

* '''Demographics:''' In the 2019 Worldwide Gender Census, 18 respondents (0.16%) called themselves lunarian.

This Latin word is likely taken in turn from the old Greek word ''oudeteros''.<ref name="etym_neut">{{Cite web |title=neuter (adj.) |author= |work=Online Etymology Dictionary |date= |access-date=20 October 2020 |url= https://www.etymonline.com/word/neuter#etymonline_v_6890|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230221090220/https://www.etymonline.com/word/neuter|archive-date=17 July 2023}}</ref> | |||
* '''Meaning:''' According to Merriam-Webster and other dictionaries, this old word can have several meanings when used in reference to a person. 1. A gender neither masculine nor feminine. [[Genderless]]. [[Gender neutral]]. An [[androgynous]] person. 2. Without sexual organs, or with incomplete sexual organs. In biology and zoology, this can mean animals that were artificially spayed, castrated, or otherwise sterilized, as well as animals who were born in that condition, such as worker bees, as well as plants without pistils and stamens.<ref>"Neuter."

Latest revision as of 15:00, 2 November 2023
This article lacks significant content. You can help the Nonbinary wiki by completing it! Note to editors: remember to always support the information you proved with external references! |
This list of uncommon nonbinary identities contains gender identities that have less record of their use, according to community census results and historical information, or sometimes no record at all, beyond their coinage and inclusion in glossaries. This does not mean that the identity is not valid, but that not many people have decided to use it (More information...). See also the list of nonbinary identities for more common ones.
In order to keep the wiki accurate to the lived experiences of nonbinary people, identities should only be listed here if they cite from at least two separate external sources, showing both:
1. origin (such as a source about how the term was coined, or at least history of the term's use), and
2. evidence that the identity has actually been used as someone's own identity. Acceptable evidence includes presence in at least one Gender Census result, a news article, or published nonfiction book describing an actual person using it.

I
Ilyagender
- Name(s): ilyagender. From the French grammatical construction il y a meaning “there exists” + gender, thus "there exists a gender." A short form of this identity's description in French: "il y a un genre, qui est tangible, et n’est pas homme ou femme ou neutre ou agenre en aucune façon, pas entre ces identités et pas une combinaison ou dérivation."[90][91]
- Origin: Coined on December 30, 2014 by Cor (Tumblr user epochryphal).[90]
- Meaning: As described by Cor, ilyagender means "having a tangible presence of gender, one which is not man, woman, neutral, or agender in any way, nor between or a combination or derivation. Related: aliagender, aporagender, maverique."[91]
- Keywords: neither female nor male, not female, not genderless, not male, not neutral, other gender
- Demographics: In the Nonbinary/Genderqueer Survey 2016, one respondent.[15] In the 2019 Worldwide Gender Census, four respondents.[6]
Intergender
- Name(s): intergender
- Origin: During the 1990s, usenet newsgroups were informal public discussion groups on the Internet that were oriented around topics of interest, such as hobbies, fandoms, and LGBT issues. Starting sometime before 1998, the alt.support.intergendered newsgroup was created by an intergender and non-intersex person named Donna Lynn Matthews, together with other people who also called themselves intergender.[92]
- Meaning: As Matthews defined it in 1998 or earlier, people who call themselves intergender may consider themselves a mix of both man and woman, or neither man nor woman. Matthews said intergender people are not necessarily intersex.[93] 16 years later, in 2014, one intersex intergender person named Aeshling (Tumblr usernames quietlyloud-intersex, indonintersex) began to post to the MOGAI-Archive blog, arguing that this word should be for the use of intersex people only. Otherwise Aeshling's definition of intergender stayed the same.[94]
- Keywords: both female and male, female, genderless, male, mixture, neither female nor male, not female, not male
- Demographics: In the 2019 Worldwide Gender Census, ten respondents.[6]
Isogender
- Name(s): isogender/iso
- Origin: Coined in 2017 by anonymous Tumblr user via blog bigendering[95]
- Meaning: Neither cisgender nor transgender.[96][97] (Isogender is not to be confused with ipsogender, which is also neither cis nor trans. Ipsogender was coined by the intersex sociologist Dr. Cary Gabriel Costello in 2014 to name a uniquely intersex identity, an identity which some-- but not all-- intersex people can experience: identifying with a coercively medically assigned gender.[98] However, no respondents to the Gender Census have called themselves ipsogender, so it does not get an entry in this list.)
- Keywords: not cisgender, not transgender
- Demographics: In the 2019 Worldwide Gender Census, one respondent.[6] In the 2021 Gender Census, six respondents.[1]
J
Juxera

- Name(s): libragender
- Origin: Coined by Tumblr user libragender by a submission to the MOGAI-Archive blog in 2014.[101]
- Meaning: "Gender that is mostly agender [genderless], but has a strong connection to a different gender; a scale, where one side is agender and one side is male/female. The agender outweighs the male/female, but male/female is still there"

Lunarian
- Origin: Created in 2016 by Tumblr user vergess.[103] In the 2019 Gender Census, around 0.2% of respondents identified with a galactian alignment.[104]
- Meaning: The lunarian identity expresses a similarity with feminine genders, alignments, or experiences. It's a replacement for "feminine-aligned", "fem-aligned," or "female-aligned." [102] Lunarian is an identity from the galactian system, which is an alternative classification system for nonbinary people based on the alignment in relation to the binary genders. Instead of male-aligned and female-aligned, it uses concepts that are not related to the binarist system, such as the sun, the moon and the stars. It's worth noting that these words were not coined to describe genders, but a relation towards a binary gender - an alignment. For instance, an agender person may identify as lunarian because they have experiences in common with women, despite not being a woman themself.[103]
- Keywords: feminine, femme, nonbinary femme
- Demographics: In the 2019 Worldwide Gender Census, 18 respondents (0.16%) called themselves lunarian. Seven more (0.06%) called themselves by a word that was partly lunarian, such as stellunarian, sollunarian, solstelunarian. Together, this makes a total of 25 respondents (0.22%) who called their identity lunarian or partly lunarian.[6]

This Latin word is likely taken in turn from the old Greek word oudeteros.[117]
- Meaning: According to Merriam-Webster and other dictionaries, this old word can have several meanings when used in reference to a person. 1. A gender neither masculine nor feminine. Genderless. Gender neutral. An androgynous person. 2. Without sexual organs, or with incomplete sexual organs. In biology and zoology, this can mean animals that were artificially spayed, castrated, or otherwise sterilized, as well as animals who were born in that condition, such as worker bees, as well as plants without pistils and stamens.[118][119][120]

Sekhet
Writings from ancient Egypt (Middle Kingdom, 2000-1800 BCE) said there were three genders of humans: male (tie), sekhet (sht), and female (hemet), in that order. Sekhet is usually translated as "eunuch," but that's probably an oversimplification of what this gender category means. Since it was given that level of importance, it could potentially be an entire category of gender/sex variance that doesn't fit into male or female. The hieroglyphs for sekhet include a sitting figure that usually mean a man, but the word doesn't include hieroglyphs that refer to genitals in any way. The word for male did include a hieroglyph explicitly showing a penis. At the very least, sekhet is likely to mean cisgender gay men, in the sense of not having children, and not necessarily someone who was castrated. Archaeologists question whether ancient Egyptians castrated humans, because the evidence for it is lacking.[137][138][139][140] Why this is poorly attested: We need demographic information showing that any people identify as this today.
Stargender

The reason I call it star gender is uh, because when I was mulling on it one day I somehow started thinking about alien/nonhuman genders and how it was really unknown to people currently, and I ended up reasoning maybe it was the same genders stars could experience? (sorry that sounds super silly uh) I don’t believe it’s androgyny because it??? doesn’t really feel like a middle between masculine and feminine?? like it seems??? Beyond That? Like it is potentially neutral but encompassing both masculine and feminine at the same time, if that makes any sense?[141] |
