Pangender or omnigender people identify as many or infinite genders.[1][2][3][4] It is a non-binary, multigender, and transgender identity. It is also sometimes said to be under the polygender umbrella term.[5][6][7][8] Sometimes the number of genders that pangender people identify as is unknown or may change.[9]
