Ambigender

This page is about a gender identity that is not widely used among gender-variant people. This does not mean that the identity is not valid, but that very few people are known to use this term. More information on uncommon identities... |
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]
Just like any other gender identity, ambigender people can use any set of pronouns they like, or even use multiple sets of pronouns.
In the 2020 Gender Census, 4 respondents were ambigender.[3]

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.[4]
In a 2010 encyclopedia, ambigender is listed as a type of "androgyne" gender.
