'''Gender trinary''' or '''ternary''' refers to three primary preexisting [[gender identities]] accessible within ones own culture. This [[Gender Arity|gender arity]] usually includes [[binary]] [[genders]] and a tertiary gender. This tertiary identity can be a [[Third Gender|third gender]] or [[other]] [[abinary]] identity, such as [[neutrois]]/[[neutral]], or [[liaspec]] [[centrigender]], such as [[androgyne]] generally [[monogender]], not necessarily [[allogender]].<ref>https://leptrois.wordpress.com/2021/05/24/trinary-timeline/</ref>

Gender trinarism is often considered a form of [[Exorsexism|exorsexist]] discrimination towards [[Non-Trinary|non-trinary]] individuals, including those who are [[midtrinary]] or [[atrinary]], reinforcing an extension of [[Binarism|gender binarism]]. It could be either in ways of [[Gendered Language|language]] or identity. It may also affect [[non-binary]]/[[binaryn't]] and [[Gender-variant|gender]]/[[w:c:pronoun:Pronoun Non-Conforming|pronoun non-conforming]] individuals, such as enforcing trinary expectations of men using he/him pronouns and having [[masculine]] [[presentation]], women using she/her pronouns and being [[feminine]], or non-binary individuals using they/them and looking [[androgynous]] or [[neutral]].

Gender trinary may also be known as '''gender trichotomy''', '''gender trifecta''', or '''gender triform'''.

In June 2018, Tumblr user exorsexistbullshit defines gender trinarism as the idea that all [[non-binary]] people are just a separate gender from [[women]] and [[men]].<ref>https://exorsexistbullshit.tumblr.com/post/174580586008/well-idk-if-this-is-better-called-xorsexism-or</ref><ref>https://leptrois.tumblr.com/post/652080651903909888/trinary-timeline</ref> The term is later used in some academic articles.<ref>https://academic.oup.com/ywcct/article-abstract/28/1/311/5913147</ref><ref>https://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/33741/28681</ref>
