Today's Gender of the Day: Tergender!

Tergender is a trigender identity where one is male, female, and nonbinary. While trigender can be any three genders, tergender is exclusively male, female, and nonbinary. Technically, "nonbinary" can mean any kind of gender outside the gender binary.

"Male" and "female" are specific genders on their own while nonbinary refers to a spectrum of identities. Therefore, tergender can mean being male/female/agender, male/female/genderfluid, male/female/maverique, or any similar combination.

Some tergender people may align more with one gender than another, so terms like tergirl, terboy, or terneutral may better describe one's tergender experience. One can be fluid between the genders, fluctuate between them, or experience them statically. A tergender person may also have any sort of gender presentation.

Similar terms would be trigender, triavire, ambinull, ambonec, bxygirl, and doxigender. Tergender falls under the multigender and trigender umbrellas.

Trivesticity or Trivestility: relating to trivesting; dressing three genders; wearing clothes associated with three genders; trigender passing or presentation.

A third-sex (tersex) is commonly used to denote an “other” sex category beyond “m” or “f” (of male or female) in documents for example. In some passports they don’t categorize “third-gender” but instead “sex”. 

It would seem like biological essentialism, but some people interpret this as a psychosocial sex (often referred as brain sex in English). Denoting someone who is not dyadic, while not essentially intersex, hence may be classified as altersex.

I wasn't sure how to make the colors make sense but then I decided the top stripe can be a combination or in-between color of the side stripes, which are supposed to represent the more dominant parts of the identity. I hope that works for you!

I didn't design the flag, actually! Someone named ayjayce on Discord did, and the original coiner (a different person) is credited here with their full Discord user name. I don't know them so I can't give permission on their behalf, but redesigns are generally okay in the community anyway.
