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 intermisogyny-blog on Tumblr in August 2015.[2]
In 2018, Washington state began to allow "X" gender markers on official documents[3], 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.[4] | » |
