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.<ref>{{cite journal|title= Cogito Ergo Fem|journal=Cross-Talk: The Transgender Community News & Information Monthly |date=March 1993 |issue=41 |last=Blackwood |first=Anne |pp=4 |url=https://www.digitaltransgenderarchive.net/files/gh93gz622 |quote=[[Bigender]], ambigender, [[transgender]], contragender, femmiphile, gendervert ... makes no difference what you call the greater communities so long as everyone knows what the term means.|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221130214458/https://digitaltransgenderarchive.net/files/gh93gz622 |archive-date=17 July 2023 }}</ref> | |||
In a 2010 encyclopedia, ambigender is listed as a type of "[[androgyne]]" gender. | |||
