In this definition, polygender was an umbrella term that included a variety of kinds of people who identify outside the gender binary, even those who are genderless, who could be transitioning (or not) by a variety of different methods. During the 1990s, any genders outside the binary were not widely recognized. The same article also used the word "queergendered" interchangeably with "polygendered" as umbrella terms for people who identify outside the gender binary in any way, which seems to have been an early permutation of the now widely-known word "[[genderqueer]]." | In this definition, polygender was an umbrella term that included a variety of kinds of people who identify outside the gender binary, even those who are genderless, who could be transitioning (or not) by a variety of different methods.

In November 2002, Livejournal users just_plain_zac and sometimes_nate created a community called polygender-ppl, describing its purpose as follows:<ref name=":0">https://polygender-ppl.livejournal.com/profile/</ref><blockquote>This community is open to any and all bi-gendered, polygendered, genderqueer, third-gendered, and transgender (FTM, MTF, etc.) people, and SOFFA. We, just_plain_zac and sometimes_nate, the co-moderators, started this community as a safe space for support, networking, and, of course, friendship among those of us who identify as more than one gender.</blockquote>The community linked to an offsite Polygender/Genderqueer FAQ (now a [https://devrandom.net/~aidan/polygenderfaq.html broken link]; inaccessible by Wayback Machine), as well as another defunct site (formerly hosted at genderqueers.com; accessible [https://web.archive.org/web/20020223172902/http://www.genderqueers.com/ via Wayback Machine]). | |||
As of 2025, the Livejournal community had 115 members; the last post was in 2011.<ref name=":0" /> | |||
