Metagender: Difference between revisions

The term was coined again by 1997 by Rook Thomas Hine,<ref name=":14">{{cite web|url=http://www.liminalityland.com/metagender.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040726170300/http://www.liminalityland.com/metagender.htm|archive-date=26 July 2004|title=Metagender|last=Bernhardt-House|first=Phillip|date=|access-date=|website=}}</ref><ref name=":3" /> an identity Hine characterized as being a "conscientious objector" in "the war of the sexes."<ref name=":6">Bernhardt-House, Phillip (2003). "So, which one is the opposite sex?: the sometimes spiritual journey of a metagender". ''[https://archive.org/details/findingrealmetru00trac/page/76/mode/2up Finding the Real Me: True Tales of Sex and Gender Diversity]'' (Tracie O'Keefe & Katrina Fox, Ed.)''.'' Jossey-Bass. p. 76-88.</ref> This concept of metagender was further developed by Phillip Andrew Bernhardt-House. E defined the term in a 2003 anthology as a spiritual identity that was a "'wholly other' third/fourth/eighty-seventh"<ref name=":6" /> gender category that was not derived from any combination of [[woman]], [[man]], [[feminine]], [[masculine]], [[neuter]], or [[androgyne]]. E described being "a metagender" as similar to being a [[third gender]] with a spiritual component while being in a culture that lacked this concept.<ref name=":6" /> Metagender developed into a discrete identity as a spiritual functionary inside [[Pagan|neopaganism]], combining social gender and sexuality (latter being similar to [[pansexual]]), which it has remained since 2008 as described by P.
