A TikTok star has been praised after publicly announcing that they identify as trigender.
Emily Skvarch, who goes by the handle @future4caster on TikTok, revealed in a video that they identify as “tri-gender”.
“I figured it’s about time that I came out and talked about my gender identity,” the TikToker said. “I am trigender, which means like a triangle. I have three genders: male, female, and non-binary.”
Skvarch explained the difference between trigender and being gender-fluid, sharing: “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.”

The user, who boasts 583.2K followers on the platform, said they 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,” they continued. “Or I guess you could call it a third identity.”
Skvarch said how they feel “gender-wise” is like a man, like a woman, and as neither “at the same time”. They also added in the caption of the video that they are “trans”.
Many people on social media commended the TikToker after explaining their gender identity.

One user applauded Skvarch for being “happy and comfortable with how they describe their identity” while another said: “I’m happy they’re in a place where they feel comfortable sharing their truth. Wishing them well!”
A third chimed in: “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.”
According to the gender wiki, there are three key aspects of trigender identity.
The first one is multiplicity, which “involves identifying with three specific genders,” and the second is fluidity – which means: “Some trigender individuals may transition between their three genders, while others might experience them concurrently.”
The third is diverse combinations, which is explained as: “The three genders can be any mix of binary (male, female) and non-binary identities.
“Trigender falls under the broader category of multigender identities, which encompass experiences of multiple genders,” the page wrote. “It’s distinct from bigender (identifying with two genders) and polygender (identifying with multiple genders, not limited to three).”
How one experiences life as a trigender is “unique to each individual” as it is “influenced by personal feelings, cultural background, and societal context”.
