List of uncommon nonbinary identities

This list of uncommon nonbinary identities contains gender identities that have less record of their use, according to community census results and historical information, or sometimes no record at all, beyond their coinage and inclusion in glossaries. This does not mean that the identity is not valid, but that not many people have decided to use it (More information...). See also the list of nonbinary identities for more common ones.

In order to keep the wiki accurate to the lived experiences of nonbinary people, identities should only be listed here if they cite from at least two separate external sources, showing both:

1. origin (such as a source about how the term was coined, or at least history of the term's use), and

2. evidence that the identity has actually been used as someone's own identity. Acceptable evidence includes presence in at least one Gender Census result, a news article, or published nonfiction book describing an actual person using it.

A design for a pride flag does not count toward origin or evidence of use. A personal blog does not count toward evidence of use. A source citation of a web page counts if it is either a live link, or an archive of a dead link, but dead links by themselves are not acceptable.

 * Name(s): intergender


 * Origin: During the 1990s, usenet newsgroups were informal public discussion groups on the Internet that were oriented around topics of interest, such as hobbies, fandoms, and LGBT issues.

 * Meaning: As Matthews defined it in 1998 or earlier, people who call themselves intergender may consider themselves a mix of both man and woman, or neither man nor woman. Matthews said intergender people are not necessarily intersex. 16 years later, in 2014, one intersex intergender person named Aeshling (Tumblr usernames quietlyloud-intersex, indonintersex) began to post to the MOGAI-Archive blog, arguing that this word should be for the use of intersex people only.

However, no respondents to the Gender Census have called themselves ipsogender, so it does not get an entry in this list.)

Lunarian

 * Name(s): lunarian, so called because in many cultures, the Moon is associated with femininity.


 * Origin: Created in 2016 by Tumblr user vergess. In the 2019 Gender Census, around 0.2% of respondents identified with a galactian alignment.


 * Meaning: The lunarian identity expresses a similarity with feminine genders, alignments, or experiences. It's a replacement for "feminine-aligned", "fem-aligned," or "female-aligned." Lunarian is an identity from the galactian system, which is an alternative classification system for nonbinary people based on the alignment in relation to the binary genders. Instead of male-aligned and female-aligned, it uses concepts that are not related to the binarist system, such as the sun, the moon and the stars. It's worth noting that these words were not coined to describe genders, but a relation towards a binary gender - an alignment. For instance, an agender person may identify as lunarian because they have experiences in common with women, despite not being a woman themself.


 * Keywords: feminine, femme, nonbinary femme


 * Demographics: In the 2019 Worldwide Gender Census, 18 respondents (0.16%) called themselves lunarian. Seven more (0.06%) called themselves by a word that was partly lunarian, such as stellunarian, sollunarian, solstelunarian.

In the 2020 Gender Census, seven people were magiboy, four were magigirl, and there was one each of magienby, magiman, magigender, maginonbinary, and magiguy, making 16 total respondents having a magigender of some sort.

Stargender

 * Name(s): stargender


 * Origin: Coined in January 2014 by a person named Mars (Tumblr user nbqt). Se described stargender as follows:

"Lately I’ve experiencing a new gender that isn’t male or female! I don’t believe it is agender, since it certainly is a gender! It’s like, very neutral on the “spectrum” of gender, but I don’t feel like it’s androgyny either. The reason I call it star gender is uh, because when I was mulling on it one day I somehow started thinking about alien/nonhuman genders and how it was really unknown to people currently, and I ended up reasoning maybe it was the same genders stars could experience? (sorry that sounds super silly uh)

I don’t believe it’s androgyny because it??? doesn’t really feel like a middle between masculine and feminine?? like it seems??? Beyond That? Like it is potentially neutral but encompassing both masculine and feminine at the same time, if that makes any sense?"
