Uingender
Uingender (shortened to UIN) is an umbrella term for all genders which are unknown, unnamed, unsure, undecided, undefined, unexplainable, unidentified, or undetermined in nature (UIN). It is not the same as questioning, as a uingender individual can be certain in the fact that their gender is unidentifiable or unknowable. Uingender is not inherently a temporary state.
It can also be used as a gender on its own, when being undefined is its main quality. It's often used by individuals who cannot narrow down their gender any more than being unidentifiable.
History
The term first appeared on the IMOGA-pride Tumblr blog by deactivated user saturnic-vapour.[1][2]
