Maxine Feldman

Maxine "Max" Adele Feldman (December 26, 1945 – August 17, 2007) was an American folk singer-songwriter, comedian and pioneer of women's music. Feldman's song "Angry Atthis", first performed in May 1969 and first recorded in 1972, is considered the first openly distributed out lesbian song of what would become the women's music movement. Feldman identified as a "big loud Jewish butch lesbian."
In later years, according to partner Helen Thornton, Feldman held a gender identity that was "both/and" rather than "either/or." Feldman had been comfortable with being labeled either "man" or "woman", and wore men's clothing on stage.

Meg-John Barker

Dr. Meg-John Barker, PhD (MJ for short) is a writer, writing mentor, creative consultant, speaker, and independent scholar. They have written a number of anti-self-help books on the topics of relationships, sex, and gender, as well as the graphic non-fiction books, Queer: A Graphic History and Gender: A Graphic Guide, and the book The Psychology of Sex. They also are a founding member of the bisexual organization BiUK.
Dr. Barker said in a 2017 interview that their writing was influenced by "some of the great queer and trans activist authors like Kate Bornstein, Riki Wilchins, and Julia Serano".
==Quotes==
"Some people embrace 'pansexual' as a term because they worry that the word 'bisexual' implies that there are only two genders, which can be seen as transphobic given that many people – like me – experience themselves as between or beyond the gender binary. However, bisexual people themselves generally don’t define 'bisexual' in this way. Usually they talk about having 'attraction regardless of gender' or 'attraction to more than one gender', and they understand the 'bi' part to mean 'the same gender as me and different genders to me'. So really there is a lot of overlap between bisexuality and pansexuality, with both terms referring to folks who aren’t limited to one gender in terms of their sexual attraction."
"In a culture which assumes heterosexuality and cisgenderness unless a person 'comes out' as otherwise, queer friendships can enable queer people to breathe easier and have a sense of just being themselves. Another important thing for mental health is being accurately mirrored by the people around you – particularly the close people. It's important to feel that friends accurately read in your gender, get your relationships and how they work, and see beyond stereotypes of queerness. It's vital that they're not always asking ignorant, intrusive questions, making jokes, or using inaccurate language."

Micah Visser

Micah Visser is a Canadian musician, the singer-songwriter for their band named Boniface. Boniface's eponymous debut album released on February 14, 2020.
==Quotes==
"Growing up, there were a lot of times I felt uncomfortable with the expectation of being a boy. I felt like people had a lot of expectations right off the bat when I met them that weren't true to me. That ended up making me feel isolated, like I was failing a bunch of tests that people had for me right away. At the time, I didn't really know that you could identify as nonbinary. I didn't even know that was a thing. I didn't understand the spectrum. I didn't understand the fluidity of gender. I knew that I wasn't a boy, I knew that I was somewhere in the middle. Now through my music, a place where I've always forced myself to be as honest as possible, I realized that it's important for me to be honest in every part of my life. It's still scary and something I'm figuring out, but it's been very liberating."

Misgendering

The term misgendering means referring to somebody as if they had another gender identity. For example, using he/him pronouns for a woman who uses she/her pronouns, or other unaccepted pronouns for a nonbinary person who uses inclusive or nounself pronouns. This is one method transphobes often use to attack transgender and nonbinary people.
==Unintentional Usage==
It is common for someone to assume another person's gender identity based on gender cues, such as their voice, hair length or style, and clothing.
==How to deal with unintentional misgendering==
A lot of the time, misgendering is an accident. Most of the time, the best thing to do is gently explain to the person that you use different pronouns, and you would like it if they respected that. Also, to avoid unintentional misgendering, if you feel comfortable when you meet someone, tell them your preferred pronouns right away, if possible.

Multigender

Multigender means having multiple gender identities, either at the same time or moving between different gender identities at different times. It's an umbrella term, but may also be used as a specific gender identity, and multigender identities all fall under the nonbinary and transgender umbrellas. The multigender umbrella includes bigender, trigender, polygender, pangender, genderfluid, and possibly androgyne. They may or may not seek a physical transition to change their body.
In a 2015 survey of non-cis people in the USA, 4% of respondents (about 1,108 people) were multigender.
== List of specific kinds of multigender identities ==
Transgender people have created many words for specific kinds of multigender identities. These are some of the most used multigender identities:
*abigender is experiencing two distinct genders, either simultaneously or at different times, but only having a loose or vague connection to each gender while also not feeling like either gender is "neutral" or "neither".
*ambigender is experiencing two genders simultaneously and without fluidity or shifting.https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ambigender Archived on 17 July 2023 This word has also been defined as like being ambidextrous, only with gender. It has also been defined as a synonym for bigender (see below).
* bigender is an identity with two gender identities. This word can mean both genders at the same time, or moving between two genders. In the latter case, bigender is a specific kind of genderfluid identity.
* demiflux is used by polygender or bigender people to describe when one of their genders is static and the other change in intensity and presence.http://www.thecsph.org/id-a-day-a-demigender/ Archived on 17 July 2023
* genderfluid is a gender identity that changes from one time to the next. For example, a genderfluid person could be both a boy and a girl one day, and then genderless the next.
* pangender is an identity with a wide multiplicity of genders that can tend to the infinite (only includes genders of one's culture. This applies to all other nonbinary genders, because one cannot identify with gender(s) outside their culture).
* polygender is an identity with several gender identities, particularly four or more of them. This can mean at different times, or at the same time.https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/polygender Archived on 17 July 2023
* trigender is an identity with three gender identities. This word can mean all three at once, or moving between three genders.https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/trigender Archived on 17 July 2023
