How does that work? Like all genders are the result of the interaction of self and society. Youd have needed to have had an incredibly bizarre life for that to become sufficiently complex and unique to not be describable.

As far as my understanding of gender goes, someone's gender identity would've necessarily have to be that unique for their to be no current name for it.

There are already genders where someone identifies as 2 genders, but while one of those genders is changing (flux) the other gender is static (Demiflux https://gender.wikia.org/wiki/Demiflux).

So, let's say you have someone who has 4 genders (quadgender https://gender.wikia.org/wiki/Quadgender) with this configuration: One of the genders is static, one of the genders is in flux depending on social situation, one of the genders is in flux depending on something else, and one of the genders alternates between agender and something else). It wouldn't be inconceivable that someone has a gender that can be expressed like that, but obviously it doesn't have a name (as far as I know).
