Inclusion of people of different genders in a community, as opposed to a men-only or women-only community. This is the most common way cogender is used. When used in print, it's usually in reference to a co-gender school (also called co-education),[1] or to a co-gender LGBT activist group (as opposed to a lesbian-only activist group).[2][3]

One of the bases for the new cogender identity was the commonality of concerns between lesbians and gay men and the power of cogender organizing. New theorizing about the movement began to assume the participation of both lesbians and gay men, and agendas no longer focused on the specific needs and concerns of lesbians alone."
