Metagender is a nonbinary gender identity that has been coined multiple times with varying definitions.
History
In a 1999 interview, musician/poet/filmmaker Phoebe Legere said that she was "metagender, metasexual, not a man or a woman."[1]
The term was coined again in the 2000s by Rook Thomas Hine.[2] This coining's definition is given as "someone who identifies as neither male nor female, neither woman nor man, neither neuter nor feminine nor masculine. [...] A metagender is less of a 'both/and' combination, 'all of the above' or androgyne, and more of a 'wholly other' third/fourth/eighty-seventh category, or 'none of the above'."[3]
In June 2014 "metagender" was suggested as an alternative word for pangender.[4]
"Metagender" was independently coined again in 2014 by Tumblr users keyblademastercecilpalmer, agenderchrismclean, and lordmoriarty by submission to the MOGAI-Archive blog, and the definition was: "To identify around or beyond a gender. Where your gender identity is almost that gender, but not quite, and also extends beyond that. Imagine that —- is you, and | is the gender identity (and identifying fully with a gender is —-|), then metagender is —- | —-" For example, meta-boy, meta-girl, meta-nonbinary, and so on.[5]
In the 2019 Worldwide Gender Census, one respondent was metagender.[6]
