Multigender: Difference between revisions

'''Multigender''' means having multiple gender identities, either at the same time or moving between different gender identities at different times. It's an umbrella term, but may also be used as a specific gender identity, and multigender identities all fall under the [[nonbinary]] and [[transgender]] umbrellas. The multigender umbrella includes [[bigender]], [[trigender]], [[polygender]], [[pangender]], [[genderfluid]], and possibly [[androgyne]]. They may or may not seek a physical [[transition]] to change their body.<ref name="Nersesyan">{{Cite web |title=What It Means To Be MultiGender: The Questions Many Have, But Are Afraid To Ask |last=Nersesyan |first=Mihran |work=The Body Is Not An Apology |date=23 June 2018 |access-date=24 October 2020 |url= https://thebodyisnotanapology.com/magazine/what-it-means-to-be-multigender-the-questions-many-have-but-are-afraid-to-ask/}}</ref>
