    Disclaimer
    This page quotes outdated terminology for "transgender" and "metagender," including "transgendered" and "transgenderism," as used by transgender scholars and other gender-variant people at the time.


    Metagender is a term that has been coined multiple times with varying definitions, including as multiple nonbinary gender identities, a sexual orientation, spiritual identities, a gender modality, a description for gender-nonconforming behavior, and a super-set for all gender possibilities. Different definitions have been used for LGBTQ+ self-identifiers, in feminist/queer theory and activism, and in academic settings, including as an academic and self-identified term for multiple third-gender religious and spiritual identities.

    History and Usage

    LBGTQIA2+ Definitions

    1990s

    Metagender was first recorded in queer and feminist publications, where its definition included post-gender concepts, gender variance, gender-bending, and being neither a man nor a woman.

    In a 1994 letter to the San Francisco Bay Times, an intersex womyn used metagender as an umbrella descriptor for gender-variant and intersex.[1]

    In a 1998 BITCH essay titled "Metagender and the Slow Decline of the Either/Or," Lisa Voldeng and Laura Kloppenberg coined "metagenderism" to "encapsulat[e] all existing, evolving, and unborn gender models: It is the unlimited superset of all possible (non)genders and gender (non)identities, of individual and cultural existence free from binaristic cat­egorization and definition." This definition was in contrast with the contemporary "transgenderism" as defined by trans woman and cultural theorist Sandy Stone. Where transgender was a category to "include everyone not covered by our culture's narrow terms man and woman," metagenderism entailed "a comprehensive reenvisioning of gender," to serve as "container for all gender identities, encompassing the two-gender system to transgender and beyond."[2]

    In a 1999 interview, musician/poet/filmmaker Phoebe Legere said that she was "metagender, metasexual, not a man or a woman."[3]

    2000s

    In a 2004 zine, Katie Cercone listed metagender as a term for "gender-bending."[4]

    In a 2006 book on transgender journeys, metagender was defined as "individuals who do not identify as either male or female."[5]

    The term was coined again in the 2000s by Rook Thomas Hine.[6] 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'."[7] The metagender identity was further developed into "a social gender that comes into play in a spiritual and religious context" inside neopaganism,[8] with at least two persons known to use this spiritual definition as their identity by 2015.[8][9]

    2010s

    In 2012, metagender was defined in HaifischGeweint's Gender 101 as "a gender identity describing a person whose subjective experience of gender is not adequately described by any existing terminology (i.e., I never “met a” gender like you before)."[10]

    Metagender was proposed for three different meanings in 2014.

    1. In June, "metagender" was suggested as an alternative word for pangender.[11]
    2. In August, "metagender" was coined by Tumblr users keyblademastercecilpalmer, agenderchrismclean, and lordmoriarty by submission to the MOGAI-Archive blog. 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.[12][13]
    3. In November, "metagender" was coined by Tumblr user arquus-malvaceae as "a tangential or tenuous connection to the concept of gender.  Existing in that sort of floaty space where there is no gender, but still connecting with another label.  Identifying with as opposed to identifying as. Can be narrowed down and specified as one sees fit.  Eg, Metawoman, Metaman, Metaqueer, etc."[14]

    Author Maxfield Sparrow, who has spoken about coming out as metagender in 1992,[15][16] wrote about being metagender on various channels across the 2010s.[17][18][19][20] In Sparrow's 2017 blog essay "What is Metagender," Sparrow described the difficulty of defining the identity, describing its similarity to gendervague. Sparrow expanded on their metagender identity in a 2018 anthology, writing that metagender "expresses feeling outside the entire paradigm of gender."[21]

    2020-present

    In July 2020, metagender was coined again by Talea Boelsems, Tenacity Granger, and Evey Winters as a gender modality for someone "who is not entirely their assigned gender at birth but does not self identify as transgender," who was neither transgender nor cisgender,[22][23] similar to isogender and absgender.

    In the 2019 Worldwide Gender Census, one respondent called themselves metagender.[24] In the 2020 Worldwide Gender Census, four respondents called themselves metagender.[25] As of December 28, 2020, the "Metagender and Questioning" facebook group, founded after the gender modality coining, had 506 members, with an unknown number of members being metagender themselves.[23]

    In Academia, Anthropology, and Gender Analysis

    Metagender(ed) (sometimes meta-gender(ed) or metagenderism) has been used to describe "the academic engagement with or the theorizing of gender,"[26][27] religious identities that transcend gender,[28][29][30][31][32] systems of gender,[33][34] sets of gender,[35] being beyond binary gender categories,[36][37] applying regardless of gender or to all genders equally,[38][39][40] and otherwise being about gender.[41][27]

    Examples:

    "These dynamics are meta-gendered, in that they impact men and women and those who don’t identify in the binary, without particular discrimination, putting all of us at risk for weirdly pervasive and unexamined suffering."[40]

    Bugis Society recognizes four genders, plus a fifth gender, bissu, which is seen to combine and transcend the four others. "Bissu embody elements of all genders within them, and thereby occupy a space outside or above any single gender identity. They are essentially beyond gender — ‘meta-gender’ or ‘gender-transcendent’ as they are sometimes described."[42]

    "Applying the concept of a third gender is rare in Aegean scholarship... Cadogan observes that the genderless aspects of Minoan culture... are understudied. He believes that the term 'meta-gender' better conveys something above and beyond binary categories."[36]

    Miscellaneous

    In 2010, "MetaGender" was used as an informal community-specific term to refer to the metafilter website's open text field for gender.[43] In 2017, pronouns were added as an open field, and in 2020 the gender field was deleted, citing the jokey nature of old answers that had aged badly.[44]
