I would've put the flags as well but i have no clue how to had several images, it's been a while. More coming soon.

Huge gender identity post for those who want to learn more.

I will make another post soon, and maybe lmk what other gender identies you guys want to learn about. Remember I am no expert on gender identities, I have had to learn about some but that does not mean I know everything abiut them/have experienced them for myself. If I gto anything wrong or miswrote anything, lease let me know. I did have to use googlt for the last two because I really need to do stuff and am rushing a bit lol. But anyway, all of these posts will be tagged under 'LiveLaughLoveGenderDentities'

Nonbinary= I would say the meaning for this is in the word, those are are nonbinary do not feel as if they are man nor woman/masc of fem. They are somewhere outside of the gender boundary, identities that fit under this term include ones such as: Agender, Bigender, Demigender, Polygender, Xenogender [Amongst others that I will go into in later posts.] Many people use the term nonbinary to label themselves and remember there is no way to do it wrong or right, many people just play around with it and see what feels right for them. Something else to include - The term nonbinary is not only an umbrella term but it also falls under the umbrella term 'Transgender' as the term transgender is used for those who's gender doesn't align with their biological sex and many [not all!] nonbinary people feel that way, sometimes it's all the time sometimes it's not - gender is fluid for many people.

Genderfluid= The genderfluid term applies to those whose gender feels as if it's fluid [Hence the name]. This means that one day, a genderfluid person might feel very masculine - they might use a binder to gain a flatter chest if they are afab/have a more feminine chest. They might also use makeup or style their hair in certain ways to gain the masculine look they feel is right for the feeling they are experiencing. However, other days, they might feel extremely feminine and go the opposite way and often they also feel as I they are outside of the gender boundaries and are somewhere in-between. But they don't always switch daily, sometimes it's weekly, monthly, and going the totally opposite way, it can also switch multiple times in a day! That's why this label falls under the trans umbrella term, because often genderfluid individuals feel as if they're gender does not align with their biological sex. To help people understand they're feelings/help others know which pronouns to call them/what labels they are feeling are right for the time, they often use bracelts, neckalces or other small pieces of jewlerry to indicate this. For example - One day, a Genderfluid person might be wearing a blue bracelet to tell others that they are feeling very masculine and on another occasion they might be wearing a pink one to show others they are feeling fem and to use for femenin pronouns. And sometimes, they use an in-between colour to show they are in-between/comepletly out of the gender boundary.

Agender= Agender is a term refered to those who have no gender/no biased opinion to a specific gender identity. They are completely neutral on the matter and often don't mind nor care how they're gender identity is perceived A common question about Agender individuals is 'What is the difference between Agender and Nonbinary people' Or something along the lines of that nature/ And so. here I am to tell you! Nonbinary is a term that refers to individuals whose gender does not fit strictly into the categories of male or female thefore their identity/feelings towards identity might include a mix of both genders, neither genders or a different gender entirely. To put it simpley - nonbinary people's identity may have aspects of all genders whereas Ageander people. on the other hand, means they are completely neutral on thae matter, they might not have aspects of all genders and they often just exist without worrying about a certain gender. Hence another word for this specific identity is the label 'Genderless.' In summary, while both nonbinary and Agender share some similarities, they represent distinct experiences of gender identity.

Polygender= Again, I would say it's in the name but those who are Polygender experience feelings for more than one gender, sometimes this can mean it switches, similarly to Genderfluid, but sometimes they canhave feelings for several genders at one time. Some days they feel both mas and fem and sometimes they feel fem and nonbinary. For those who aren't Polygender, this can be confusing [As well a lot of these gender identities - if you haven't experienced it, can you really fully understand it and see it through your eyes?] So this specific gender identity just means one who uses this label feels as though they have more than one gender - sometimes at the same time, sometimes not.

Xenogender= Xenogender is an umbrella term for non-binary gender identities that cannot be fully described through their relation to concepts typically used to describe genders such as male, female, woman, man, neutral, agender, etc. Instead, xenogenders can best be described through how they relate to things or beings that most individuals don't think of as having to do with gender, such as animals, plants, things, or concepts.The prefix in xenogender refers to the Greek word xeno- meaning 'strangeness', 'foreign', and 'extraterrestrial'. The gender quality associated with xenogenders is xeninity/xenity, these genders often defined as having a xenine gender quality. An individual who is xeno-aligned may define their gender as xenic.Xenogender individuals often have a strong understanding of how their gender feels to them, however they often find that there aren't any words for their experiences, described as a lexical gap. In order to fill that gap xenogender individuals often describe their gender through metaphors, by saying their gender is like, is influenced by, or shares qualities with something else. Xenogenders are often misunderstood and taken literally, which can exacerbate the challenges marginalized gender alignments face when interacting with normative communities. One way to explain a xenogender is to compare it with existing normative genders. For example, where femininity may represent a gentle nature, soft, smooth, and fragile, the same can be seen in flowergender as flowers match the same stated characteristics from femininity. In some cases, one might prefer flowergender over femininity as it highlights and accentuates those specific qualities while excluding other feminine traits that do not accurately describe the individual.

Demigender= Demigender is a gender identity that refers to a partial, but not a full connection to a specific gender identity or the idea of gender. Many demigender individuals also identify as nonbinary.Demigender isn’t always a partial connection to gender such as female or male and a partial connection to agender. Demigender can instead be a partial connection to a third gender that isn’t agender or the absence of gender. Demigender people often feel that the partial connection they have is a gender but can’t be subscribed.For example, if one is a demigirl, they might have the experience of femininity and not be binary. On the other hand, an identity such as demiboy that’s under the demigender umbrella is used to describe someone who embraces masculinity regardless of whether they were born with X or Y chromosomes. It’s possible for someone to identify as demigender without being a demigirl or demiboy but they can’t be a demiboy or demigirl and not identify as demigender. Some of the identities under the demigender umbrella include:

Demiboy: identifying partially as masculine or a man Demigirl: identifying partially as feminine or a woman Demi nonbinary: identifying partially as non-binary Demifluid: having a partially fluid identity and another that is static Demiagender: identifying partially as agender Demineutrois: identifying partially as neutrois Demigender: identifying as part nonbinary and female and male.

Inconclusion, those who are Demigender feel a fraction of more than one gender at the same time. Someone that might identify as a Demiboy might feel only PARTIALLY a masculine/like a man.
