Paragender is a gender identity in which one feels very close to being a certain gender, but encompasses another gender or genders that prevents them from being fully that gender. Paragender individuals are in the range of feeling 51-99% of a connection to specific gender, and 1-49% another gender or other genders. It is similar to perigender, offgender, and demigender.

History

The term "paragender" was originally coined by user queerspike on Tumblr around July 10th, 2014. The earliest known reblog of paragender's coining post was made on this date by Tumblr user genderdefinitions.

The paragender flag was created by pridearchive on Tumblr on July 24th, 2014. The gray stripes represent partial gender, the white stripes represent a lack of gender, and the yellow stripe represents non-binaryness. The green stripes are used to represent the closeness of the gender because green is near yellow on the color wheel.
