Ambigender is a static bigender identity in which two genders are experienced simultaneously with no fluidity or shifting. In addition to being a type of bigender identity[1], ambigender also falls under the multigender umbrella term.[2]
History
The term "ambigender" as a gender identity dates back at least to the mid-1990s; for example in 1993, it was mentioned in a list of terms in Cross-Talk, a transgender community magazine.[3]
In a 2010 encyclopedia, ambigender is listed as a type of "androgyne" gender.
