    Cogender is a gender which can best be described as the mathematical union of two genders, as opposed to [[venngender]]- the intersection of two genders. A cogender person is okay with being identified as either of the genders included in their identity, including a combination of the two. It's possible for someone to be cogender and not realize it at first, because one of their genders happens to be the gender they were assigned at birth.

    A format of expressing this identity is "X co Y" where X and Y are genders. For example, girl co boy. In this example one would be comfortable being identified as a boy, as a girl, or as a combination of a boy and girl.

    A variation on this identity is cofluid, which is a [[genderfluid]] version of cogender. For a cofluid person, one part of their identity is static but the other part(s) change. For example, a cofluidboy has a cogender identity that always includes male, but the other identity(s) vary.

    ==Gender Inclusion==
    Cogender is sometimes used to show the inclusion of people of different genders in a community, as opposed to a men-only or women-only community. This is the most common way this word is used. When used in print, it's usually in reference to a co-gender school (also called co-education) or to a co-gender LGBT activist group (as opposed to a lesbian-only activist group).
