Similarly, the word "genderdox," coined by Tumblr user htt in 2014 based on the word "paradox," meaning simultaneously having genders and being genderless.<ref>"Genderdox." ''Mogai-Archive'' (blog). 2014. [http://mogai-archive.tumblr.com/post/91735540374/genderdox http://mogai-archive.tumblr.com/post/91735540374/genderdox] {{dead link}}</ref>
