You can lean towards any sort of [[gender expression]] [...] if you wanted. You can use [any] [[pronouns]] if you wanted. You can identify this within bi/tri/qua/etc if you wanted. You can be [[demigender|demi]]-[ambonec], meaning there could be circumstances where it changes (mood, etc).

Similarly, "genderdox" means simultaneously having two genders and being genderless. The term was coined by Tumblr user htt in 2014 and is based on the word "paradox."{{citation needed}}

An anonymous submitter to the ''Mogai-Archive'' blog in 2014 also proposed a similar paradoxical gender: Oppogender, meaning "when you feel/are two (or more) contradicting or generally ‘opposite’ genders at the same time, such as being simultaneously completely gender-null and another gender."{{citation needed}}  The post listed several alternative names as well: contrarigender, divergender, and discrepantgender.
