Pangender is a form on multigender in which someone experiences all genders. It is a non-binary gender which refers to a vast and diverse amount of genders in the same individual that can extend infinitely. A pangender person can experience these genders at the same time or they may be fluid between them. The intensity of their gender(s) may fluctuate.
Since the term pangender is very expansive and unspecific it could mean several different things depending on the individual, including:
- A person who has a large number of genders (too many to count).
- A person who is all known genders.
- A person whose gender experience goes beyond the known genders.
- A person who has infinitely many genders.
When referring to all genders this only includes genders in one's own culture and life experience. One cannot identify as ethnic genders outside their own culture, as those gender require a connection to and knowledge of that culture, and it's impossible for one to spend their life in all cultures.
Sometimes people use pangender to refer to not caring about gender/how other people view them.
Flag and Symbols
The pangender flag was designed by the Deviantart user Cari-Rez-Lobo on January 28th, 2015. Two flags were created at this time, colors holding the same meanings.[1] The colors are very bright so that they represent the multiplicity of genders (because white light is a combination of all colors). Yellow represents all the genders that are not related to female and male (abinary). Light red represents the transition to the genders which are related to female and male. Light pink represents the combination of female and male. White represents the blend of all genders.[2]
An alternate pride flag was submitted by u/helpme0519 in r/QueerVexillology on Reddit. The colors share similar meanings to the pansexual flag: Blue and pink represent male and female binary genders, Yellow represents genders that fall outside of the binary, White represents for a combination of all genders.[3] this flag was coined on September 28th, 2020
The pangender symbol was created by an unknown person. The symbol appears to be a combination of the androgyne symbol (which itself is a combination of the female and male symbols), showing that one is all female/feminine genders, all male/masculine genders, and all genders that are a combination of these; the non-binary symbol, showing that one is all non-binary genders, particularly abinary genders; and the agender symbol, showing that genderlessness can be included as well.
