Trinary Genders

The gender trinary flag^[1]

Ternary or trinary genders are three primary pre-existing gender identities accessible within ones own culture. This gender arity includes binary genders and a tertiary gender. This tertiary identity can be a third gender or other abinary identity, such as neutrois/neither (or none), or liaspec intercidogender, such as androgyne/both, generally monogender, not necessarily allogender.^[2]

Gender trinarism is often considered a form of exorsexist discrimination towards non-trinary and atrinary individuals, reinforcing an extension of gender binarism. It could be either in ways of language or identity.

Gender trinary may also be known as gender trichotomy.

History

A gender trinary diagram by Chaoticcylinder.

The first mention of gender trinary is recorded since March 2018.^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9] It was sometimes used interchangeably with gender quaternary as both and neither can be two tertiary identities.^[10]^[11]

In June 2018, Tumblr user exorsexistbullshit defines gender trinarism as the idea that all non-binary people are just a separate gender from women and men.^[12]^[13] The term is later used in some academic articles.^[14]^[15]
