'''X-Gender''' ('''Xジェンダー''' ('''''x-jendā'''''), or '''エックスジェンダー''' ('''''ekkusu-jendā''''')), is a Japanese term for a [[Non-Binary|non-binary]]/[[genderqueer]] gender that is most commonly attributed to the [[transgender]] community of Japan, and later China, used to describe someone who is neither [[Man|male]]
X-gender is used as a identity and as an [[Umbrella Term|umbrella term]]. There are several categories of gender that fall under X-gender. Generally, there are thought to be four: neutral (中性), which is between male and female; [[bigender]] (両性), which is both male and female; [[genderfluid]] (不定性), which changes between genders in different situations; and [[agender]] (無性), which has no gender.<ref>Gender identity as unspecified - Qualitative classification of MTX and FTX - Journal of the GID (Gender Equality Disorder) Society, 3 (1), pp. 44 - 45. (佐々木掌子 (2010). 規定されないものとしてのジェンダー・アイデンティティ-MTXとFTXの質的分類- GID(性同一性障害)学会雑誌, 3(1), pp.44-45.)</ref> Though, there is no need for one to be bound by these four categories. There are also neutral or bigender identities in which male is dominant, which may be called male X-gender. When female is dominant, it is referred to as female X-gender.
