A TikTok star has come out as trigender and clarified what it means amid widespread support.
Commending Skvarch for sharing their truth, one person writes: “Happy and comfortable with how they describe their identity.”
Another says: “I’m happy they’re in a place where they feel comfortable sharing their truth. Wishing them well!”
A third adds: “They seem comfortable in their identity, which is so much more than many can say for themselves. Good for them! I hope we can all find that sort of comfort, confidence, and certainty in ourselves.”
In a viral video, Skvarch stated: “I am trigender, which means like a triangle. I have three genders: male, female, and non-binary.”
They went on to clarify the distinction between being trigender and gender-fluid.
“I feel all three of these genders at the same time. All the time. It doesn’t ever shift or change, or I feel one gender more strongly than the other like gender-fluid tends to be,” they explained.
The TikToker, who has an impressive following of over 580,000 followers, also acknowledged differing perspectives on gender identities.
The content creator said: “I should recognize and accept that a lot of people don’t see non-binary as a third gender; they see it as something completely separate from the binary of male and female.
“But for me, it’s like a third gender. Or I guess you could call it a third identity.”
The TikTok star described their gender experience as being simultaneously male, female, and neither.
Skvarch also mentioned in the caption of the video that they identify as transgender.
Trigender individuals identify with exactly three genders: male, female, and non-binary.
According to the Gender Wiki, this identity is characterized by three aspects: multiplicity, which involves identifying with three specific genders; fluidity, where some may transition between these genders while others experience them concurrently; and diverse combinations, meaning the three genders can include any mix of binary (male, female) and non-binary identities.
Trigender identity is part of the larger category of multigender experiences, encompassing the identification with more than one gender.
It is distinct from identities such as bigender (identifying with two genders) or polygender (identifying with multiple genders beyond three).
As Gender Wiki notes, the experience of being trigender is highly individual, shaped by personal emotions, cultural influences, and societal factors.
