Ternary or trinary genders are three primary pre-existing gender identities accessible within ones own culture. This gender arity includes binary genders and a tertiary gender. This tertiary identity can be a third gender or other abinary identity, such as neutrois/neither (or none), or liaspec intercidogender, such as androgyne/both, generally monogender, not necessarily allogender.[2]
Gender trinarism is often considered a form of exorsexist discrimination towards non-trinary and atrinary individuals, reinforcing an extension of gender binarism. It could be either in ways of language or identity.
Gender trinary may also be known as gender trichotomy.
History
![](http://static.miraheze.org/lgbtawiki/thumb/0/01/Gender_triangle_labeled.png/199px-Gender_triangle_labeled.png)
The first mention of gender trinary is recorded since March 2018.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9] It was sometimes used interchangeably with gender quaternary as both and neither can be two tertiary identities.[10][11]
In June 2018, Tumblr user exorsexistbullshit defines gender trinarism as the idea that all non-binary people are just a separate gender from women and men.[12][13] The term is later used in some academic articles.[14][15]
