The same as pangendermin. Pangender is a type of multigender, that is where someone experiences all genders. (It's worth noting that "experiences all genders" is a passive phenomenon whereas "expressing all genders" would be the active form.) Enter the concept of
all genders available to one throughout one's life.
Pangender [min] therefore applies to someone for whom only masculine genders are available. That means according to their perception of
a] what's available and
b] whatever they think masculine is.
MIN refers to the full gamut of masculinity. Thus
panmingender comprises all (
pan) the-range-of-masculine-genders (
min) encountered as a gender experience (
gender) but
pangendermin is all-the-genders-available-to-one (
pangender) when all of those genders fall-under-the-umbrella-of-attributes-primarily-related-to-masculinity (
min) as that individual sees them.
Of course, simply by going to Cambodia or Indonesia one sees that attributes considered masculine are not in any way a constant. There are other elements to factor in but this reply is long enough.
