Polygender or Multigender is a gender identity in which one experiences multiple gender identities, either simultaneously or varying between them. [1][2] These could be male, female, or non-binary identities.
History
The earliest known use of the term polygender is 1995, when it was specifically referred to as "polygendered" and was alternatively called "pangendered". The definition at the time was given as "exhibiting characteristics of multiple genders, deliberately refuting the concept of only two genders". It is unknown who first coined it. [3]
