Multigender is an umbrella term, but may also be used as a specific gender identity. Multigender identities all fall under the nonbinary and transgender umbrellas. The multigender umbrella includes bigender, trigender, polygender, pangender, genderfluid, and possibly androgyne. These identities all fall under the nonbinary and transgender umbrellas. Multigender individuals have more than one gender identity, either at the same time, or moving between different gender identities at different times. A multigender identity doesn't require a particular kind of body, so a multigender person could be female, male, or intersex. They may or may not seek a physical transition to change their body.

List of specific kinds of multigender identities

Transgender people have created many words for specific kinds of multigender identities. The following list is a specialized glossary of names for specific kinds of multigender identities, in alphabetical order.


ambigender. As defined by Baaphomett, "Experiencing two genders simultaneously and without fluidity or shifting."[1] This word has also been defined as like being ambidextrous, only with gender. It has also been defined as a synonym for bigender, which see.

bigender is an identity with two gender identities. This word can mean both genders at the same time, or moving between two genders. In the latter case, bigender is a specific kind of genderfluid identity.

blurgender. See genderfuzz.

collgender. Coined by anonymous in 2014. Having "too many simultaneous genders to describe each one."[2]

cosmicgender. Coined by dragon-friker. "A gender so vast and complex that you are only able to process a small bit of it at a time. like viewing the night sky through a telescope you cannot hope to see all of it at once however you may gain more knowledge about parts of it the longer you focus on one part. may contain any number of sub genders within it that may present themselves to you. it is infinite in its possibility. name from the vast reaches of space filled with things we cannot begin to imagine."[4] Keywords: size, change

crystagender. Coined by anonymous. "When your gender randomly changes, and you often feel broken or fractured between multiple different genders. For example, on one day, you might feel like you’re 110% agender, but on the next you’re broken into demigirl&nan0boy, androgynous, etc. Whether you feel like you switch between these genders throughout the time period, or feel like all at once, is up to the person."[5]

deliciagender. From Latin delicia "favorite," coined by twerkingobserver. "To have multiple genders, but preferring how one fits over others. Could be used as deliciagender, or deliciaboy/girl/nonbinary."[6]

duragender. From Latin dura "long-lasting," coined by genderlost. "A subcategory of polygender (genderfluid, bigender, trigender, etc) with an identifiable, long lasting gender that is more prominent than the other genders experienced. ex: duragirl, duraboy, duranonbinary, etc."[7]

demiflux. Coined by aflutteringlaney. "A term for polygender/bigender individuals to describe when one of their genders is 'static' and the other ranges in intensity and presence." [8]

domgender. Coined by: space-gem + agendertouka with special thanks to bigender-why-gender. "Domgender- when you are multiple genders (like polygender) but 1 of those genders is dominant." [9].

fissgender. Coined by curiosityismysin. "A gender experience that is in some way split, similar to bigender or demigenders."[10].

libragender. Coined by libragender "gender that is mostly agender, but has a strong connection to a different gender; a scale, where one side is agender and one side is male/female. The agender outweighs the male/female, but male/female is still there" [17]

ogligender. Coined by anonymous. You have three to five genders, inclusive. [18] Note that if a person has three genders, they can also call themself tri-gender, which see.

pangender is an identity with a wide multiplicity of genders that can tend to the infinite (ONLY includes genders of one's culture. This applies to all other nonbinary genders, because one cannot identify with gender(s) outside their culture).

polygender is an identity with several gender identities, particularly four or more of them. This can mean at different times, or at the same time.

trigender is an identity with three gender identities. This word can mean all three at once, or moving between three genders. Note that if a person has three to five genders, inclusive, they can also call themself ogligender, which see.
