Gender Juxtaposition is a way of organizing gender arity and other related non-leptive terminology based on the inherent numerical qualities ascribed to them by their culture(s).

Because of the complex and everchanging nature of gender identities, and the fact there are no strict boundaries between many identities, there will always be exceptions to how they may fit within or beyond the Gender Juxtaposition Diamond (GJD). This was compiled for educational and organizational purposes, and is designed to function as a set of loose guidelines. Information and points written here are based on recognized terminology, community observations on arity, and intergender relationships— it is not a strict nor definitive rule set.

Pronunciation

Detailed Breakdown

A diagram displaying the range of Binary identities on the GJD.

Binary

Binary or the Gender Binary describes a system in which two primary gender categories exist. The most influential of these systems is the male/female binary which is prevalent in western society.

Binary genders are typically one or more of the following:

  • Exclusively 100% man or woman.
  • Exclusively 100% Comgender; not-genderless.

Examples of Binary genders can include: Man, Woman.


A diagram displaying the range of Nonbinary identities on the GJD.


Nonbinary

Nonbinary is an umbrella term which describes any gender that does not strictly ascribe to binary genders/binary systems, typically those associated with being male or female. Nonbinary encompasses genders which are not exclusively 100% male or exclusively 100% female. Some nonbinary genders may reference or contain/ascribe to one or both binary genders (as seen with Midbinary genders), while others may be entirely unrelated (as seen with Abinary genders).

Nonbinary genders are typically one or more of the following:

  • Not exclusively 100% man or woman.
  • Able to be described in terms of Binary genders.
  • Not always exclusively genderless or Comgender.

Examples of Nonbinary genders can include (but are not limited to): Agender, Demigender, Genderqueer, Libragender

A diagram displaying the range of Midbinary identities on the GJD.


Midbinary

Midbinary, also known as Endobinary, is a subcategory of Nonbinary which refers to any Nonbinary gender or experience that references or is associated with one or both binary genders.

Midbinary genders are typically one or more of the following:

  • Not exclusively 100% man or woman.
  • Always associated with at least one or both binary genders.
  • Not exclusively 100% comgender.

Examples of Midbinary genders can include (but are not limited to): Androgyne, Demiboy, Girlflux, Ambonec


A diagram displaying the range of Abinary identities on the GJD.

Abinary

Abinary, sometimes also referred to as aporagender (with exception of Maverique), are umbrella terms which describe any gender that does not directly ascribe to, reference or associate the gender binary. While Abinary genders can have a gender alignment, they are often unaligned and relate mostly to neutrality.

Abinary genders are typically one or more of the following:

  • Entirely unrelated or disconnected from the Gender Binary.
  • Not always exclusively 100% genderless or Comgender.
  • Are unaligned or lack gender alignment.

Examples of Abinary genders include (but are not limited to): Maverique, Frannchlen, Neutrois, Third gender

A diagram displaying the range of Anonbinary identities on the GJD.


Anonbinary

Anonbinary is a less specific and vague umbrella term, and is intended to fill a lexical-gap for genders/experience which do not ascribe under other arities. The definition and meaning is currently ambiguous, but generally speaking it describes genders that aren't strictly binary, and even still are not strictly nonbinary. Some can also be described as lacking gender qualities while still being a gender.

Anonbinary genders are typically one or more of the following:

  • Not able to be adequately described using conventional gender qualities (neutral, feminine, etc).
  • Vague, ambiguous, or unknowable; an attempt to quantify unquantifiability.
  • Not always exclusively 100% genderless or comgender.
  • Do not have a given or well-defined alignment.
  • Multigenders of Abinary identities.

Examples of Anonbinary genders can include (but are not limited to): Xenogender, Nymhs, Kenochoric, Nnodtgender


A diagram displaying the range of Trinary identities on the GJD.

Trinary

Trinary or the Gender Trinary, oftentimes used interchangeably with Abinary, describes a system in which three primary gender categories exist. Unlike the gender binary, trinary genders are typically culturally exclusive, but not always (such as in the case of Genderneutral).

Trinary genders are typically one or more of the following:

  • Man, Woman, or Other.
  • A mix or combination of Man or Woman that is recognized as a separate gender identity.
  • Culturally exclusive in many cases.
  • Exclusively 100% Comgender/not-genderless.

Examples of Trinary genders can include (but are not limited to): Hijra, Muxe, Genderneutral, Two Spirit


A diagram displaying the range of Nontrinary identities on the GJD.

Nontrinary

Nontrinary or Nonternary, is an umbrella term which describes any gender that does not strictly ascribe to trinary genders/trinary systems. Nontrinary is sometimes referred to as "Abinary with gender alignment"; this is because while Abinary genders exist on the sole premise of being unrelated to the gender binary, Nontrinary genders add gender alignment as opposed to being unaligned. Nontrinary encompasses genders which are not exclusively 100% male, exclusively 100% female, or exclusively 100% third gender/neutral. Some nontrinary genders may reference or contain/ascribe to one or multiple trinary genders, while others may be entirely unrelated (as seen with Atrinary genders).

Nontrinary genders are typically one or more of the following:

  • Not exclusively 100% man, woman or a third gender/neutral.
  • Not always exclusively genderless or Comgender.

Examples of Nontrinary genders include (but are not limited to): Demineutrois, Neumale, Voidflux, Trigender


A diagram displaying the range of Atrinary identities on the GJD.

Atrinary

Atrinary or Aternary is an umbrella term which describes any gender that does not directly ascribe to, reference or associate the gender trinary.

Atrinary genders are typically one or more of the following:

  • Entirely unrelated or disconnected from the Gender Trinary.
  • Not always exclusively genderless or Comgender.
  • Do not have a given or well-defined alignment.

Examples of Atrinary genders include (but are not limited to): many Xenogenders, Maverique, many Coricgenders, some Aporagenders
