hey guys so i coined my own gender identity

[sillynessmogai]

label hoarder

a label hoarder is someone who collects / “ hoards “ labels. this can be for many reasons; having a complex identity, feeling comfortable with a variety of terms, find it fun to collect labels, etc. this goes for collecting any labels, including names and pronouns.

genderhoarder

a gender hoarder is someone who collects / “ hoards “ gender labels. this can be for many reasons; having a complex / fluid gender, feeling comfortable with a variety of terms, find it fun to collect genders, etc.

pronounhoarder

a pronoun hoarder is someone who collects / “ hoards “ pronoun labels. this can be for many reasons; preferring a variety of pronouns, being pronounfluid, finding it fun to collect pronouns, etc.

name collector / namehoarder

a name hoarder is someone who collects / “ hoards “ name. this can be for many reasons; preferring a variety of names, being nomifluid, finding it fun to collect names, etc.

this isn’t a coining / recoining post, simply alt flag designs for those who want to use them.

no IDs, help appreciated

Theriform [Official Coining Post]

Theriform

Adjective (can be applied as a noun in certain phrasing, see examples)

From θηρίον (thēríon) [diminutive of θήρ thḗr, “wild beast”] and μορφή (morphe) ["shape"/"figure"/"look"].

Definition:

A theriform animal is one which was born into a body that is typical/expected of it's species and observable as such by everyone, with species-typical levels of sapience/intelligence and whose behaviour etc is unaltered by being born into a human body/raised in a form perceived as human*. All components must be present to count.

It is not the 'opposite' of therian despite similar etymology but is instead to be viewed as a complimentary term to therian, nonhuman, alterhuman, otherkin etc as it exists to specify certain details of a species whilst not invalidating the identities of those who are not theriform. It is made to replace potentially invalidating phrases like 'bio(logical) animal' or 'real animal'.

It is not an identity label and therefore has no flag or symbol and does not need one. Do not create these things please, or use the term to describe yourself on a personal level.

Alternative versions for non-animals could include: floraform, nat(ur)form, technoform, fictoform*, feyform, voidform, starform, divineform etc

Examples:

"Lol it's so funny being a cat and having a theriform cat as a pet we're both just kitties vibing but with different body shapes."

"Just because they're the same species as you does not mean you are able to take care of wild theriforms."

"The fact that there aren't that many theriforms of my species is so saddening."

"I wanna do quads alongside a pack of theriform wolves so bad!"

"I am transspecies, here is what I do/what I want to do to look more theriform."

"I wonder if theriforms get species dysphoria?"

*in the case of fictional humans, should you want to apply it there, assume this to mean 'in this world' as in the fictoform has not been a physical human in this world and thus had their behaviour influenced by existing here.

Jasmine Shapeshifter + Ferality alt

explanation + isolated icons below cut , was first posted to my discord server and I debated posting it here due to the large description but !! sits .

Jasmine Shapeshifter:

Jasmine Shapeshifters at their core are (already or wanting to be) domestic, faithful, passionate, and devoted beings who physically and mentally shift into various forms, not limited to 'this-world' domesticated animals or even animals at all. Their presentations and identity are perceived as confusing or complicated at times, often related to their presentation, shifting in general, and functions. This term is not inherently unhuman/nonhuman, but is primarily based on an individual's mind being animalistic and domestic in nature. While their existence is complex, they always aim to be an ideal companion, partner, pet, etc to their loved one(s).

Ferality alt:

An alternative/complimentary flag for Jasmine Shapeshifters who experience the struggles of ferality. The user may or may not go feral voluntarily, but primarily involuntarily. This could be due to a number of reasons, often stress or fright, but regardless of the potentially wild nature brought about, at their core, the presence and/or desire for domestication is ingrained.

Isolated symbols:

[multiselves]

Coining Post!! 🔗👥 Multiself / Multiselves !!

Definition ::

Multiself is an umbrella term for any singlet/singlet adjacent being that experiences multiple identities/selves. The term also applies to individual sysmates that share the experience, provided the sysmate/s in question identify as multiself independently from the rest of the collective.

Mulitself beings may or may not "switch" between selves, though multiself is explicitly separate from the plurality spectrum and does not describe multiple consciousnesses/distinct people. However it's important to note that SOME parasian/plurallet experiences may fall under the multiself umbrella

• You can identify as both transplural/transmedian and multiself at the same time, in the same way that you can identify as a both a boy and a girl at the same time. Trans identity is very complex, and often paradoxical in nature

• Generally switches are amnesia free and voluntary, but this is definitely more of a guideline than a hard and fast rule. (I myself have light amnesia, and experience "switches" more as kinshifts rather than a conscious choice.)

• Multiself is inherently tied to transid, in the sense that selves have their own distinct sets of transids. Though notably, the amount in which the selves differentiate depends on the individual. On one end of the spectrum, one's selves may be extremely different in name, appearance, age, race, gender etc. On the other end of the spectrum, one's selves may be entirely identical except for each selves trans/trispersonality ids

Language ::

(Note: this is general language for the umbrella term, and may not be applicable to more specific labels that fall underneath it)

Shift (verb): The experience of changing selves

"I'm shifting into Mallory"

Form (verb): The experience of forming new selves

"I formed Riley yesterday"

Mindset (noun): The term used to describe which self you currently identify as

"I'm in Monty and Jamie's mindset right now"

Primary self (noun): The self you most commonly identify as

"I'm in Darce's mindset most often, they're my primary self"

Selves are not separate consciousnesses, though we/us language is also acceptable if you feel more comfortable using it. If you wish to refer to all your selves at once, but want to avoid being mistaken for a system, you could simply say "my selves", or "my cluster"

Flag colours ::

Those that choose to have multiselves: dark pink

Those that do not choose to have multiselves: light pink

Those that experience their selves as being "alter egos" for the main self: grey

Those that are at their core consciousness, experiencing selves that are all equally them: white

Those that have fluid selves, in any sense: lilac

Those that have static selves: light blue

Distinction from plurality: dark blue

Why was this coined?

This label was a reaction to segreID. At first glance the two terms seem very similar, but there are some key differences such as my far laxer approach to including those that identify with some form of plurality. This label is not meant to act as a recoin, nor is it meant to "out-inclusive" the segreID coiner, vampi-rq.

I wanted to create a less specific term that would include me, and anyone else that shared the majority of my experiences

While there is conflict between me and vampi-rq, I still have a lot of appreciation and respect their term and how it was intended to be used. The multiself label is personal to me, and it was born out of respect for the segreID definition rather than in spite of it. SegreID exists to describe a much more specific experience, and it's one that simply doesn't apply to me, which I'm fine with

All thumbs are fingers, but not all fingers are thumbs

While by definition segreID does happen to fall under the multiself umbrella, that does not mean that 100% of the things described here apply to it. Vampi-rq has been explicit about what is and is not segreID. I encourage you to do your research and pick the appropriate label for what you're experiencing. The multiself label is intentionally very vague and nonspecific

[luxandfero]

Emmoniromantic / Emmoniaromantic

Emmoniromantic (emmoni-romantic) is a term on the aromantic spectrum that describes individuals who confuse their intense fixation on someone with romantic feelings but after this fixation fades away, they realize they weren't truly in love. Some individuals may choose to call it 'obsession' or 'limerence'. It can be used as a tertiary identity or romantic orientation on its own or alongside with flutter attraction and/or pseudoromantic.

Emmoniaromantic (emmoni-Aromantic) is a similar term for those who don't experience any other kind of 'romantic' attraction.

This term is exclusive to neurodivergent individuals who can develop a hyperfixation on someone or great passion for their 'X person' (attachment figure; can be referred to as 'favorite person', 'safe person', 'chosen person', etc.). It can be used by those who are formally diagnosed, self-diagnosed or questioning but not transabled people and the like.

Below the cut are disorder-specific versions of the flags, their meaning and related terms.

The term comes from the Greek word 'emmoni' (fixation, obsession, perseverance, persistence). The colors don't have any distinct meaning behind them as they were essentially taken from aromantic and the aromantic spectrum flags. Curved lines symbolize struggles with figuring out one's attraction; dull colors indicate fading attraction; and the broken heart represents a revelation about the true nature of their feelings. The heart was inspired by the symbol from this page. You may edit the flags however you like; no need for credit.

Related or similar terms (let me know if there's more): neuroromantic & arovague & aroweird; cruxromantic; aroborderline & conifromantic; favper-romantic & favoromantic & liemeneromantic & liebe-eros & 'X person'-attracction & sirenorose; FPspike; favper-confus-romantic & FPplatoniromantic; favouritism.

FURFAG

[PT: furfag]

— a flag for people who reclaim furfag, a derogatory term used against furries to imply they are queer. meant to be used ONLY by anyone who reclaims the f slur and is alterhuman, a furry, a non-human part, etc.

— very self-indulgent, open to requests for alternative symbols or alterhuman identities I missed

Revitrans-

Revitrans-masculine: a term describing a gender identity in which a transfeminine individual finds a newfound reconnection with masculinity through the process of their transition (social, medical, etc.); one who feels a revised, distinctly transgender connection to masculinity through their transfemininity

Revitrans-feminine: a term describing a gender identity in which a transmasculine individual finds a newfound reconnection with femininity through the process of their transition (social, medical, etc.); one who feels a revised, distinctly transgender connection to femininity through their transmasculinity

there are no restrictions on who may use this label; if you feel it fits, you may use it. an example of the way I identify with this label for clarity's sake:

i am a bigender butch transmasculine individual. after beginning hormone replacement therapy, i felt myself becoming more comfortable identifying as both male and female simultaneously. my feminine identity post-transition is not the same as the femininity forced onto me through my childhood & adolescence; it is distinctly transgender in nature, not cisgender. i feel that through the process of transmasculine transition, i have developed a revised relationship with femininity. thus, i identify as revitrans-feminine.

colors are picked from @8stripe (formerly xenonflags)'s transfeminine and transmasculine flag color adjustments

READ THE "READ MORE" BEFORE COMMENTING ON THIS POST

this is a coining post for a term wei have been floating around for a bit internally, but wanted to share. wei haven't been able to find a label that accurately describes our experiences, particularly the ways that our identity as transfeminine is distinguished from others through the way we discovered it and interact with the world.

there has been so much discourse surrounding "afab transfem"/"amab transmasc" identities, often filled to the brim with many transphobic (and anti-multigender) sentiments on both sides. wei have struggled to have productive discussion about people who share this experience of reconnecting with their gender assigned at birth in a new & distinct way from when it was forced upon us -- an experience that is definitively transgender in nature, and is interconnected with our initial transgender identity as well.

this term is not meant to imply that revitrans- individuals have the same relationships with systemic oppression based on AGAB as other transgender individuals, in fact, it is the opposite. my experience as revitrans-feminine is simply not going to be the same as AMAB transfems. my interactions with transmisogyny on a daily basis are not the same, either. regardless, wei firmly believe that our relationship with gender should not be defined by the oppression we face. multigendered identity is complicated and nuanced, and this term serves to define just one of many multigendered experiences. this term does NOT reflect a desire to appropriate any groups experiences, but rather, a unique multigender experience that maintains connections to a more common/coloquial understanding of transfemininity/transmasculinity

respectful discussion in the replies/reblogs/tags of this post are absolutely encouraged, but interactions that are bad faith, aggressive, and non-productive will not be entertained or tolerated. skepticism is fine, but please enter conversations seeking understanding, rather than looking to win a debate.

[mentally-ill-alterhuman]

Okay, I can't find a term that fits this so I'm joining this flux term for my alterhumanity;

Kinflux/Typeflux - when one's nonhuman/alterhuman identity isn't steady, nor fluid, but rather in a state of flux. The same identities are present, but the strength of them changes.

Unlike Fluxtherian, one's alterhuman identity is always the same (always a theriotype, hearttype, etc) and does not leave its bounds. Rather, it only becomes more/less present at times

I.e I always identify as Bonnie/a jackal/Na'vi/etc. but the strength of these may change due to triggers (source) or at random.

I'll make a flag eventually but I don't currently have access (or brainpower) to something that will allow me to do as such.

Theriform FAQ

The aim of this post is to answer the questions brought up by my coining of, and some of the community's usage of, the term 'theriform'. Hopefully it will address everything, but if you have a new question feel free to comment and I'll add it after.

Is there a coining post for this term?

Yes, here. You can also access other bits of information via my tag for it.

Does this term have a flag or symbol?

No, as a term which exists to describe what kind of animal an animal is, it doesn't need to represented like an identity term. The only spinoff term which might benefit from one should someone feel like it is theriformic (see below). Please do not use it for yourself as a microlabel.

Can you simplify your definition for me?

Theriform is a word which can be used to describe a kind of animal. In order to count as theriform an animal must;

- Look like a typical member of it's species to everyone

- Have the level of sentience typical of it's species

- Have never grown up being seen as and treated as a member of the human species and/or believing itself human

- Experience no changes in behaviour/abilities/psychological function due to being made to live a humans life/live as human

Failure to meet all of these criteria 98% of the time means that theriform does not apply - except in circumstances where any of the points but especially the last two are not met for unnatural reasons (such as theriform nonhuman primates being treated as human and made to live a human-like life and experiencing behaviour changes because of it) and thus were previously met, are temporarily not met and the other criteria is met.

It is made to replace the word 'biological' in the phrase 'therians and biological animals' and similar, but is not a synonym for biological. See below.

Are humans theriform?

Humans are not theriform as this is a nonhuman community only term. In the same way that a human who identifies only as human is not a therian.

The term orthohuman (not my creation) may be what you're looking for if you're looking for something to mean 'a human, but not an alterhuman'.

What do you mean by looks like a typical member of it's species?

An animal that if anyone, nonhumans and humans alike, were given a picture of would point and go 'that's a [animal]'. An animal whose picture would be used to illustrate 'this is what this looks like' in applicable places (like wikis, or scientific research). An animal whose shape is what people think of when thinking of that animal.

What do you mean by 'level of sentience typical of it's species'?

What it says on the tin actually. This does not mean 'below human level' necessarily though, as some creatures such as dragons may be typically as sentient if not more than humans and this still counts.

What do you mean by behaviour and psychological changes?

Living in a human domicile, wearing clothes, walking bipedally if a quadraped, speaking/utilising a human language with full understanding of such, vegetarian/vegan lifestyles based on ethics, having ethics based on human morals to begin with, enjoying activities made for and by humans, human-like sexuality and gender expressions etc

What is the purpose/origin of this term?

As someone who is physically nonhuman and generally conscious of species-invalidating language, I struggled to find a word that allowed me to discuss certain subjects (outlined below) without using said invalidating language. Previously I'd see people use 'real', 'biological', 'physical' and 'non-therian'. I found that each of these had their own problems, most being invalidating and the last being clunky (though not unusable).

It can be and was intended to be used in these and similar circumstances;

Talks about animal welfare

Talking about the 'human' rights of alter/nonhumans despite their nonhuman species

Talks about animal husbandry

Talking about pets

Transspecies transition goals

Discussing differences between the self and others of your species who are theriform

Differentiation between theriform and other kinds of animals in topics which contain both, or one in particular and it's important for the topic to know which

It is not to be used to in these ways/to mean these things or similar;

The animal is biologically their species whilst a therian/nonhuman never is

The animal is really their species, whilst a therian/nonhuman is not

There is some kind of hierarchy where theriforms are above any other kind of animal

'An animal which was born as an animal' whereas a therian never is

What if I'm not an animal and want a word to mean the same thing as theriform?

Feel free to add a different prefix and run with it! Floraform, voidform, deiform etc

How is this term inclusive of physical nonhumans/CLCZ/endels when it's dividing members of our species based on biology?

In terms of physical nonhumans, note that the definition does not say that a theriform is biologically an animal - only that it is observed by others to look like what is expected for a member of it's species.

In terms of CLCZ and Endels, this is why a full definition must be met.

Acceptence that animals can look differently and even act differently and still the members of the same species, is, I think, vital for the progression of nonhumanity as a serious identity/concept. Ignoring differences and refusal to put a word to them gets us nowhere - for example, despite being a physically your species you may not be able to process the same foods as a theriform and process many foods which a theriform cannot. This is a biological difference, but not one which makes you less biologically your species, just wired differently.

But isn't this just the same as saying 'biological animal'?

No, the phrase 'biological animal' must, if one is aiming to be inclusive include physical nonhumans. Therefore to diffentiate between a biological nonhuman (identity label) cat and your biologically nonhuman cat - both of which are cats on a biological level, you would need a different word. Enter - theriform.

I'm a delusional nonhuman of some kind and/I'm plural and/I'm transspecies and want to transition and-

If you're transspecies and wish to use this term when talking about transition goals, you may e.g. "In order to appear more theriform I want to-"

A nonhuman alter may in fact meet nearly or all except the first of the criteria for being theriform and even then, be observed by their system when in headspace as looking like a typical member of their species. In a similar way, depending on your condition, you may have a delusion which changes your physical or mental aspects to those more typical of your species but once more cannot be observed by others to be so and may experience flux in which this state is not always permenant. In this case, the word would be theriformic, as in 'like a theriform' but not technically one.

Isn't this just another binary to force people into (like AGAB)?

The intention of theriform is to describe, though I give people the leniency to use it as a noun. I intend it more like a...category. Like saying 'binary and non-binary'.

AGAB was invented to give intersex people a way to describe their lived experiences, and was misused and turned into a rigid binary later. In the same way I hope this won't happen to theriform, though people love to change the meanings of words (not just in this community) and it will remain a tool to allow experiences to be expressed more accurately.

It's also an optional term. I don't care if you don't use it, I just hope you don't differentiate between therians and theriforms by saying 'therians and bio animals' as this excludes physical nonhumans.

I'm physically nonhuman/CLCZ/an Endel and this term makes me dysphoric/uncomfortable.

There is no requirement for you to use it, or talk to those who do. This is an optional term. You can blacklist the term and use whatever else you prefer.

I just ask that you don't spread the idea that this term does not include physical nonhumans and similar when it does by default, or come up with reasons that it's 'problematic' in other ways. I'd much rather we personally talked about it, or you moved on about your day and just didn't pick up the newest community word. We don't need reasons to dislike a word, we just can dislike it.

Some transgender people dislike the terms transgender and cisgender because it makes them feel othered from their gender - but the terms transgender and cisgender remain useful and usable despite personal discomfort for some and don't actually indicate that person lacks any realness to their gender.

Please apply that same logic to theriform. Incidentally -

So it's like cisgender/AGAB, but for therians?

Even though I'm guilty of it myself, I'd rather this not be compared to gender as I don't think species and gender can be accurately compared.

I also dislike the use of AGAB to mean 'born as', as the original meaning for the intersex community does not support that and I do not condone it's comparison here either positively or negatively.

A theriform is not forcefully assigned a species the way an intersex infant is assigned a gender, it is simply assessed as a member of that species through meeting the accepted visual and psychological criteria.

I dislike how the definition uses human perspectives to indicate what counts as theriform.

I don't know what to tell you, it's impossible to avoid this. At least, for me. Feel free to coin a term which avoids this if you can.

Can I link you in posts creating discourse about this subject or when people misuse the term?

If you're the one with the issues, please just talk to me directly. If it's others, please do not. But feel free to link them this post or politely correct any misinformation, thank you!

Mus-id

"Music-Identity"

♡ A term where one identifies with a certain song, music genre, sound, etc. It does not automatically mean you "are" a song - it is not the same as transsong, or any similar term. it is just a term for those that feel a unique connection to song, sound, instrument, etc that cannot be explained by any other identity or term.

sry if this is hard to understand, im not the best at explaining things.. lol ;-;

if this was coinex b4, consider it an alternative flag:)

Can I get a flag for crip? Like crip theory crip. In a pan-disability sense. I don't have any particular iconography in mind, only that it shouldn't give a vibe that this is exclusive to physical disabilities. If you can link it in some way to the Mad & Deaf pride flags that'd be nice.

Thank you!

Crip Pride Flag

This is a flag for crips and those who feel represented by/part of crip theory, crip pride, and/or general cripness. [SVG version on WC]

Crip is a term that is open to people with ALL disabilities (physical or otherwise) and also to groups who share the crip mindset. (Note different spelling from cripple.)

For folks who like details: I'm gonna explain what crip is for those who may be new to the term! Then I'll talk about the flag design how the different stripes represent different models of disability. 💜

What is even is crip?

Like how "queer" is to LGBT+, "crip" is to disabled. It's an umbrella term, a way of seeing the world. Activist reclamation of "crip" goes back to the 1970s, with disabled performance artists popularizing the term in the 1990s.

Crip theory began in the early 2000s by building on queer theory. Expanding on your [QCI's] recent post, its characteristics are:

Understanding disability as socially constructed.

Fuck capitalism: the social construction of disability as we understand it was a result of the development of capitalism.

Fuck eugenics: Ableism and racism have been entwined for hundreds of years and cannot be understood in isolation.

Fuck colonialism: which is itself debilitating. Violence disables people, and Global South activists have been clear it's important to talk about how war, landmines, etc are disabling.

Disabled people are creative. Where queer-ing refers to a way of being critical of categories, cripping tends to focus on subverting ideas of ability. Disabled people ARE the original makers/hackers.

Disabled people are experts: we know shit. It is *us* who should be the epistemic authorities on disability, *not* physicians.

Crip as a term is open to anybody experiencing the violence of eugenic thought, regardless of identification as "disabled".

Fat studies scholars have been locating themselves as within crip theory since day one. Similarly, reading Cripping Intersex by Orr has made clear to me that intersex has always been crip.

Again, drawing a parallel to queer & LGBT: kink and polyamory may not be LGBT but they are Queer. 🌈

Flag details

The design is based on @capricorn-0mnikorn's Disability Pride Flag. In line with newer meanings for the Disability Pride flag, the stripes represent different models of disability associated with crip theory:

Purple represents the social construction of disability and the influence of queer theory. #82609b is from the Mad Pride flag.

Red represents postcolonial understandings of disability such as debility. Understanding that which chronic illnesses receive care and research is *political*. The choice of #CF7280 is a nod to the AIDS flag. I took the red from the disability pride flag and shifted the hue (but not chroma & lightness) to that of the AIDS flag.

Yellow represents the affirmative and identity models of disability. The opposite of the tragedy model. Many disabilities can actually be beneficial! The choice of #f4db75 is a nod to the intersex flag.

White represents how crip pride and crip theory are pan-disability. It stands for models of disabilities not otherwise represented here. The #E8E8E8 white is also a nod to the neurodiversity flag.

Blue represents the social model of disability, the intellectual progenitor of the social construction model (and crip theory in turn). The choice of #83bfe5 is a nod to the Deaf flag.

Green represents eco-crip theory, the eco-social model of disability, and other crip engagements with environmentalism. The choice of #48af75 is a nod to the nonhuman flag. Because being a cyborg (alterhuman) is a proud tradition of crip theory.

The repetition of purple serves to show crip pride & theory exist within a social construction framework. Also it widens the amount of the flag which is stripes, reflecting how crip includes groups not consistently understood as disabled (e.g. fat, intersex).

As with the disability pride flag, the dark grey (#595959) represents the lives lost to ableism and our collective grief.

Tagging @radiomogai @mad-pride @liom-archive for archival. And I wanna acknowledge @scifimagpie for giving me feedback on dozens of prototypes. 💛

Finally: I release this flag design as public domain! 💜

PLUTOID ))

Plutoid: An alterhuman term which describes an identity/concept/species/etc that is just you. You may not look like that thing but it is you, regardless. People may even disagree that you are that thing but you always have been that thing, regardless of what they think.

Based on the fact that Pluto is and always has been a planet but people are trying to strip Pluto of its planet title, say it's "not a planet" because it's too small, doesn't look like a planet, etc.
