'''Pangender,''' or '''omnigender,''' is a [[gender identity]] in which a person either identifies as a countless number of separate identities that they are fluid between over time, or that they identify as one all encompassing identity. A pangender person who identifies with all genders may or may not include genders not currently recognized or known<ref>http://gender.wikia.com/wiki/Pangender</ref> and may or may not fluctuate in intensity or include differing intensities among the genders that the Pangender person encompasses. Thus a pangender person can also be [[genderfluid]] or [[genderflux]]. The combination of pangender and [[genderflux]] is called [[panflux]]. Pangender people can use any set of [[pronouns]] they choose or vary between [[pronouns]] depending on how they identify at the time. | '''Pangender,''' or '''omnigender,''' is a [[gender identity]] in which a person either identifies as a countless number of separate identities that they are fluid between over time, or that they identify as one all encompassing identity.

The reason for that, according to them, is that no one can identify as all genders, as this would include culturally-specific or naurotype-specific genders.<ref>[https://bigendering.tumblr.com/post/161250119616/reminder-about-pangender Reminder about pangender], 30 May 2017</ref><ref>[https://kinda-girls.tumblr.com/post/159477370346/as-far-as-i-know-the-identity-that-means anonymous asked: As far as I know, the identity that means "identifying as all genders that are available to you" is maxigender], 11 April 2017</ref><ref>[https://jimjamjames.tumblr.com/post/163259277748 jimjamjames asked: Hi !I'm doing some research on the origins of the identity “Maxigender”], 21 July 2017</ref> | ||
