multigender
Beyond the binary
Multigender describes a person who experiences more than one gender identity, either simultaneously or shifting between them over time.
The term falls under the nonbinary umbrella and may overlap with terms like bigender, trigender, or pangender depending on how many genders someone experiences: As a multigender person, some days I feel more feminine, others more masculine, and sometimes both at once.
