#abditusgender

[mogai-haven-blog]

The redvelvegender post got me wondering, are there any shallow genders? Redvelevgender really speaks to me, but I have to admit that my gender really lacks depth or richness. It's shallow & fleeting without much foundation

Hello sweet Anon!Redvelvegender can also be shallow, as the deepness of the gender can vary from person to person. It is always rich, though, so it might only be a close fit for you.There’s also:-Ghostgender: A gender that feels faint, like it’s there and not there, but it was once something stronger- Like it’s just become faint, but it’s stagnant at this faint feeling, which is strongly reminiscent of a ghost. (can also be masc and fem aligned.)-Abditusgender or Sectiogender: When you have a general idea of what your gender is but feel that it’s still hiding important factors from you, or that it’s slowly revealing itself to you but continues to keep some of itself hidden and you don’t know how to bring it about.(This one doesn’t have a flag yet, but I can try to make one if you want!)-Or! Genderflight!! A fluid gender that feels fleeting, that vanishes before one can define exactly what it is. (Alt. flag here!)

Hope this helps! Let me know if any of them fit. :3

Various gender terms with no known flags (part 1)

Abditusgender or Sectiogender: When you have a general idea of what your gender is but feel that it's still hiding important factors from you, or that it's slowly revealing itself to you but continues to keep some of itself hidden and you don't know how to bring it about.

Adeptogender: When your state of gender was obtained through your realization of your kinself, as in, your kin realization spurred your gender realization. (note: the gender and kin type do not necessarily have to correlate with each other)

Algiagender: Having a gender which changes depending on your pain levels or type of pain you're feeling. Only for those with chronic pain.

Aliegender or Aliengender: A gender that is an interpretation of a gender or genders, from a nonhuman perspective. may or may not like to fit into a gender and adopt a gender, but in a sort of ‘alien trying out foreign species’s gender’ way. Can be combined with relevant genders.

Antegender: A protean gender which has the potential to be anything, but is formless and motionless, and, therefore, does not manifest as any particular gender.

Apsconsugender: A gender identity that is a process of elimination. What it is--is unknown, but the person is able to define what it isn’t. A gender where you know what it isn’t, but not what it is. like the gender is hiding itself from you. From the latin word absconsus, meaning hidden, secret, concealed, unknown.

Archaigender: A gender that is ancient/old and big, and can either only be described with those words, or is correlated to them. Can be changed into archaiboy/girl/nonbinary/other.

Trying this out to see what works best. For now I’mma put 10 terms per post and queue maybe 2-4 times a day. If that’s too overwhelming for anyone then send an ask and we can make it smaller! All these terms are in the docs as well

If any of you know if there’s flags for any of these already, please send a link to it so we can add it to the gallery! And if you know who coined it so we can properly credit them (and that includes if it was anonymously posted or the blog deactivated).

[questioning-resources]

So I'm questioning my gender and it's so hard to get a grasp on it but I have a very intense need to label my gender and labels that are like "a gender that is hard to define" don't work for me because I NEED to define it and I don't know what to do

I hear ya – labels are mandatory for me, too. As much as it sucks to hear, you really just have to take your time and explore what feels right and what doesn’t. And you don’t have to be stuck with a label for the rest of your life – we, and our understandings of ourselves, are always changing. Gender is very, very complicated; it’s tied to our deepest senses of ourselves

Try to take a step back, and breathe. Don’t be afraid to sit and meditate, because there’s no time limit on trying to find yourself. If you want, you could try one of these labels for questioning people below – or just label yourself as questioning, plenty of people do that too (probably the majority of our followers)! These labels can be used as a temporary identity, or can be permanent. These may help you get by in the meantime.

Abditusgender: One has a general sense of their identity, but feels as though their gender is still hiding important parts of itself or is slowly revealing itself.Absconsugender: A gender identity that’s a process of elimination; the user finds it easier to label what their gender isn’t rather than what it is.Cocoongender: A gender identity that feels like it is slowly emerging into some gender, but hasn’t fully come out and expressed itself yet.Comgender: A gender identity that is simply the state of having a gender (not agender). Used mainly by people who are questioning and know there is some gender there but do not know what it is.Odysseogender: A questioning identity in which one’s gender is not set in stone and they are on a journey to discover it.Protogender: A gender identity that feels it is in its early stages of development or is incomplete.Puzzlegender: A gender identity that feels as though it still needs to be put together by the user.Quizgender: A state of questioning in which one has found multiple labels that fit but can’t make up their mind.

Feel free to write back in if you want help with anything you may have narrowed down so far. Please take care of yourself, you’ll be okay, I promise!

[arco-pluris]

Is there a specific gender for not knowing what your gender is at the time? I'm polygender but much of the time it feels "undefined" I guess..or too vague to ever tell maybe? Not sure gendervague doesn't equite fit as I don't have an idea of what the gender is at all. So it's more than vague I guess

Well I listed a lot. It took a too long post (69 genders).

Collgender:  A polygender identity where one experiences too many genders to be able to describe them all.

Like viewing the night sky through a telescope, you cannot hope to see all of it at once, however, you may gain more knowledge about parts of it the longer you focus on one part. May contain any number of sub genders within it that may present themselves to you. It is infinite in its possibility. Name from the vast reaches of space filled with things we cannot begin to imagine.

Gender-free: Which does not define people in the basis of gender; in which gender is not present, or is insignificant or irrelevant to people’s lives and choices.

Gender+/Genderplus:  A gender which fits many gender descriptors, but is actually just one complex and big gender.

Scorpigender: ‘A gender that is a mystery, and very difficult to understand. Lots of labels vaguely fit it, but almost none can fully describe it.’

Jellogender: ‘Where you only faintly feel a gender; it’s definitely present but you kind of have this vague, dissociated feeling with it, kind of like if you were to encase the gender in jello!! (`cause like it’s visible, but its kinda covered in stuff). Not to be confused with Jellygender.’

Worldgender:  Having multiple genders with such complex relationships and subgenders that it feels like the genders make up an entire world or planet together, each gender affecting the biomes and other features of this world/planet.

Mazeplexgender:  A gender identity best described as a dense forest or maze which is easy to get lost in, and is hard to navigate through or pinpoint a specific location or gender. It may be unknown to the person if it’s even possible to navigate through this forest or maze to find any answers. Derived from the two words Maze, and Perplex.

Nongender: A gender that is most accurately described by what it isn’t, not by what it is. 

Nullgender or Gendernull: Being without gender, but it is not agender or neutrois, a term for those to give a “tangibility” to the intangible thing that is their gender. - Undefinable, intangible, the uncreation of gender. Its taking everything everyone throws at you, saying male, female, pick one, pick this, pick that, and taking it in, only to expel it, poisonous crystals erupting from your skin, armor against those who don’t listen. A ‘I don’t want a label because labels don’t fit but they help shut people up sometimes, so here have a label’ gender label. A fall-back plan, a red herring to give people who can’t conceptualize the absence, void, nullification of gender. It is, and is not. All and none. Nonexistent but present.

Nymhs:  A gender which exists but is ambiguous or undefined. To reduce ‘othering’ and increase accessibility to children in particular, this gender can be referred to using both the adjective form ‘nymhs’ (e.g. ‘I identify as nymhs’ or ‘a nymhs individual’) and the noun form of ‘nymh’ (e.g. ‘I’m a nymh’) in the same way one may say either ‘I identify as female’ or ‘I am a girl’.

Jupitergender:  A gender that is so large and present, one is not quite sure what it is because it’s too big to see clearly, but it is definitely there and one knows that they’re definitely not cis.

Meergender:  A gender that is deep and difficult to explore, reminiscent of a large body of water, while also being multi-faceted and can fit under multiple gender descriptors. Similar to ambimegender, cosmicgender, seagender and genderplus. From the Dutch words meerdere, meaning multiple, and meer, meaning lake.

Perigender: A gender identity that is not currently known, but is becoming clearer over time. A transitional identity; When you feel your gender is comparable to a certain gender, but is a non binary identity and not even partially that binary gender. You identify with not as a gender.

Offgender: A gender that closely represents/is most closely represented by another gender, but is not that gender. Can be likened to what the color off-white is to white for descriptive purposes. 

Telegender: “A gender that one feels a disconnect from, almost to the point of not feeling it.“ 

Paragender: “A gender identity that is close to, but not exactly, a gender. For instance, someone who is a paraboy may feel that their gender is near to, but not quite male.” 

Vaguegender or Gendervague: “A gender being mostly or around a certain gender (or mostly around a certain gender), but is only approximate on account of difficulty defining it due to one’s neurodivergence.“ 

Ventulian: A gender element which is not clearly defined. It may change in a way that is hard to keep up with, impossible to describe or understand, or simply be vague and fleeting in nature, but it is present.  

Maringender: A term used to describe when part of one’s gender is identifiable but the other parts(s) is/are unidentifiable.

Pomogender: A gender where one denies or does not fit any labels for any particular gender. For example, someone who knows they’re not cis, but is not interested, or can’t specify what their gender(s) are. 

Novigender: When your gender experience (or lack thereof) is complicated in such a way that it is difficult or impossible to fit into one word or term.

Nesciogender: A gender one is not completely sure of due to one’s neurotype disallowing a clear understanding of the concept, but has a vague sense of what it could be; i.e. nescioboy, nescioagender, etc. 

Vosgender: A gender that feels wild and free one second, then confined and hidden the next. 

Spikegender or Burstgender: A mostly undefined gender with intense momentary spikes of a specific gender, such as boy, girl, genderqueer, etc, that last a relatively short time and fade away. 

Nebulagender: a multigender/xenogender identity, nebulagender individuals have many interconnected xenogenders that collectively form a multifaceted, expansive, and beautiful gender experience. May have fully defined genders, like stars that are formed within a nebula, as well as diffuse, vague, and partly/completely unidentifiable gender feelings that exist in between, like cosmic dust.  

Vexgender: ‘When one’s gender is in the non-binary/agender spectrum, but pinpointing it beyond that is impossible because the individual does not understand the concept of gender. Not to be confused with Gendervex.’

Quoigender: someone who finds the concept of gender identity, or of existing gender words, to themself to be inaccessible, inapplicable & non-sensical; can mean someone for whom the experience of gender is confusing, someone who cannot tell if they experience gender or if what they experience is indeed gender; can be used instead of “questioning,” which indicates an ongoing search for a better term; quoigender instead indicates a troubled history with gender words/identities, and perhaps a frustration with searching, or finding such a search unhelpful; instead using quoigender as a more permanent, stable, unchanging, fixed point.

Xumgender: Never being satisfied with your gender due to constant self-doubt or identity issues, causing one to compulsively search and seek out something that fits as perfect as possible–to find “the gender” or “the one truth”–though one will never be found due to one’s neurotype, because words will never be able to describe it, and/or its own properties paradox itself. This frequent anxiety and doubt even causes this gender to feel imperfect to the individual.
