A TikTok creator has received praise after sharing that they identify as trigender.
Emily Skvarch, known as @future4caster on TikTok, posted a video explaining their gender identity.
“I figured it’s about time I came out and talked about my gender identity,” Skvarch said. “I am trigender, which means like a triangle. I have three genders: male, female, and non-binary.”
They also explained the difference between trigender and gender-fluid. “I feel all three of these genders at the same time, all the time. It doesn’t shift or change, and I don’t feel one gender more strongly than the other. Gender-fluid tends to be more flexible, but mine stays the same.”
Skvarch, who has over 583K followers, acknowledged that some people might not see non-binary as a third gender. “But for me, it’s like a third gender or identity,” they added.
They also described their experience as feeling like a man, a woman, and neither—all at the same time. In the caption of the video, they also mentioned being trans.
Many users supported Skvarch’s openness about their identity.
One person commented, “I love that they are happy and comfortable with how they describe themselves.” Another added, “It’s great that they feel safe sharing their truth. Wishing them well!”
A third wrote, “They seem confident in who they are, which is something not everyone gets to experience. Good for them! I hope more people find that same confidence.”
According to gender resources, trigender identity has three key aspects.
The first is multiplicity, meaning a person identifies with three genders. The second is fluidity, where some people switch between their three genders while others feel them at the same time. The third is diverse combinations, where the three genders can be a mix of male, female, and non-binary identities.
Trigender falls under multigender identities, meaning it’s different from bigender (two genders) or polygender (more than three genders).
Each person’s experience with being trigender is unique, influenced by personal feelings, culture, and society.
