'''[[Ambonec]]''' is a [[nonbinary]] [[gender identity]] in which a person identifies as both [[female]], [[male]] and neither at the same time. Coined by transmalenaoto (nbshadow) in 2014,<ref>http://mogai-archive.tumblr.com/post/91796206149/ambonec-an-for-short</ref> from Latin ''ambo'' "both" + ''nec'' "neither". Described by the one who coined it as a nonbinary "gender identity in which you identify as both male and female, yet you also identify as neither, at the same time. You can lean towards any sort of [[gender expression]] [...] if you wanted. You can use [any] [[pronouns]] if you wanted. You can identify this within bi/tri/qua/etc if you wanted. You can be [[demigender|demi]]-[ambonec], meaning there could be circumstances where it changes (mood, etc). You do not need [[gender dysphoria|dysphoria]] to identify as [ambonec]."<ref>nbshadow.

Similarly, the word "genderdox," coined by Tumblr user htt in 2014 based on the word "paradox," meaning simultaneously having genders and being genderless.<ref>"Genderdox."

An anonymous submitter to the ''Mogai-Archive'' blog in 2014 also proposed a similar paradoxical gender: oppogender, meaning "when you feel/are two (or more) contradicting or generally ‘opposite’ genders at the same time, such as being simultaneously completely gender-null and another gender. ... alternative names: contrarigender, divergender, discrepantgender."<ref>"Oppogender."

==History==

In a 2004 issue of the feminist magazine ''Off Our Backs'', a transgender lesbian named Sam Bullington wrote: "I understand myself to be simultaneously and serially both man and woman, as well as neither."<ref>Bullington, S. (2004). Transgendered Feminist Body Issues. ''Off Our Backs'', issue 34, p34–36.</ref>
