Pangender

Pangender (sometimes interchangeable with Omnigender):

-a person who is a large number of genders (at the same time or not).

-a person who is all genders within their own culture and life experience (at the same time or not).

-a person who is infinite genders within their own culture and life experience (at the same time or not).

-a person whose gender experience goes beyond the known genders within their own culture and life experience .

-a person who is binary genders (female and male) + known genders + unknown genders within their own culture and life experience (at the same time or not).

-a person who is polygender and more genders within their own culture and life experience (at the same time or not). Sometimes people use pandender to refer to "not caring about our gender/how other people view us. Mostly in the sense of, we don't mind whatever pronouns and genders and stuff, as long as people dont try to insist we're cis."

Pangender refers to a wide multiplicity of genders that can (or not) tend to the infinite (meaning that this experience can go beyond the current knowledge of genders). This experience can be either simultaneously or over time.

Being pangender does not require that one knows everything about all the established genders nowadays; being pangender goes beyond the known genders.

Pangender can express gender fluidity or not; for example, a pangender person can manifest a genderflux, flowing from pangender to agender. This is known as Panfluid (or Panflux, the Gender).

The greek prefix “pan” refers to “everything” or “all”, therefore, pangender could mean “all genders”, however the genders of pangender people are limited to their own life experience. Pangenders only identify with genders of their own culture. Pangenders DO NOT try to identify with ethnic genders outside their own culture (and ALL of them by the way), because that’s impossible (one would have to spend their life in ALL cultures). Attempting to identify with ethnic genders outside one’s culture is colonialist/appropriative; people who do that and call themselves pangender should NOT be considered as an example of pangender. This applies to ALL other non-binary identities: one cannot identify with gender(s) outside their own culture.

Color meanings: The colors are very bright so that they represent the multiplicity of genders (because the white light, in the electromagnetic spectrum, is a combination of all colors). The yellow color represents all the genders that are not related to female and male; the light red color represents the transition to the genders which are related to female and male; the light violet-pink color represents the combination of female and male; the white color represents the blend of all these genders.

Being pangender or panflux means even other trans people, including other non-binary people, will keep on invalidating our gender and saying that we can’t identify as our gender...this is so similar to transphobic cisgender’s speech. Please, STOP ASSUMING WHAT OUR GENDER IS WITHOUT TALKING TO US. PLEASE, STOP INVALIDATING WHO WE ARE. 

Q: Pangender is not okay, because it’s racist!!!! A: A gender identity cannot be racist; it’s individual people who can be racist. Just like there might be, for example, agender people who are racist. — Q: Pangender is not okay, because it can be used by people in colonialist / appropriating ways, if they attempt to claim identities that are not from their own culture (for example, the two-spirit umbrella without belonging to the two-spirit cultures). A: It’s true that individuals who ARE colonialists or racists can use pangender in these ways. People like this should NOT be considered as good examples of pangender. So, that doesn’t mean that it’s correct for people to erase the pangender identity from people who are pangender. Pangender is still an identity and it’s NOT limited to colonialist / racist individuals.

Q: Pangender has the “pan” prefix, which refers to “everything” or “all”, therefore pangender automatically means people who attempt to identify with ethnic genders outside their culture.

A: No. That’s incorrect. If you are not pangender yourself, don’t try to dictate what our gender is and what it’s not. Only pangender people can say what their gender is. Pansexual also has the “pan” prefix, but it doesn’t mean “people who are sexually attracted to everything, including objects and animals”. Bissexual has the “bi” prefix, but it doesn’t mean “people who are sexually attracted to exclusively 2 genders”. Skoliossexual has the “skolio” prefix, but it doesn’t mean “people who are sexually attracted to people with scoliosis”. See where I am getting to? The same thing applies to pangender. Just because it has the “pan” prefix, it doesn’t mean we are appropriating genders outside our culture. We are not. That’s just the name of our gender identity. Please, respect pangender identity and don’t erase us, it’s transphobic. If someone says that their gender is called agoragender (example), you simply accept it, you don’t question it and you don’t say “your gender can’t be called like that” or “your gender doesn’t exist”.

Q: You can’t identify as all genders & somehow exclude ethnic genders from this. that would be erasing those genders and saying “i identify as ALL genders”

A: Pangenders are not erasing ethnic genders, they just don’t identify as them. We identify with all or multiple genders THAT ARE FROM OUR OWN CULTURE. Please, people, stop being transphobic and erasing our identity. It doesn’t really matter how much you keep on trying to erase us, we still exist, we won’t disappear just because you don’t like our identity. We are not doing any harm, we are just trying to exist just like the other nonbinary people.

About this blog

Pangendering is a blog that exists since September 2014 and is focused in the pangender spectrum, although you might also find material about other genders of transgender, non-binary and genderqueer community.

The idea of this blog is to gather information, imagery and personal experiences about pangender and panflux and talk about them.

If more pangender people want to join the blog to become a member, all they need to do is ask.

The blog posts will be written in english language only, since it’s a really hard work for me to translate everything. I’m very sorry for this.

Discrimination towards any groups will never be tolerated.

Just to introduce myself: my name is Cari Rez Lobo. I'm a biologist from Brazil who is a transgender non-binary person whose gender is pangender with genderflux (fluctuating from pangender to the agender spectrum, so I’m panflux). My pronouns are: they/their/them/themselves. I’m also an intersex individual.
