Why can’t I just be like Mr. Potato Head and interchange whatever body parts I want for the day? I can’t use a binder or trans tape or bras because it’s too shitty sensory-wise. But I don’t want too surgery because my boobs are nice sometimes
Isoqueer, absqueer, or metaqueer (isogenderqueer, absgenderqueer, or metagenderqueer): isogender/metagender/absgender and genderqueer; a genderqueer identity tied to a gender/sex modality that is in-between, beyond or removed from cis/trans dichotomy; a genderqueer individual that is cisn't and transn't simultaneously; neither cisqueer (cisgenderqueer) nor transqueer (transgenderqueer).
Can be used as an isoneutral/absneutral/metaneutral flag.
alternate/simplified metagender flag, original color and less saturated versions
[Image ID: Two versions of a simplified metagenger flag, second image with less bright colors than the first. There are five horizontal stripes of equal thickness, and there is one vertical stripe of the same thickness running down the middle. The third horizontal stripe is not solid and has gaps where it would be touching the vertical stripe. In order from top to bottom the colors are light mint green, bright emerald green, black, emerald green, and dark green, and the vertical stripe is black. End ID.]
I’ve been trying to apply my logical and mathematical mind to the concept of gender recently. However the only way I ever use said mind is to make things that no sane person would ever spend a second of their free time on (example: photoshop blend modes in a graphing calculator).
As such, I’ve been thinking about what it would mean to identify as a cis-presenting person. Not identify as cis, but as cis-presenting. I’ve decided that my gender is whatever would cause my estranged father to have an aneurysm and die/cause the most problems for the nearest conservative asshole, and part of that entails finding new, fucked up ways to express genders not comprehensible by the human mind.
Of course, I’m not well versed in what’s already a thing re. Gender, so please, tell me what you all think about this concept of “metagender” I’ve come up with.
Some further examples:
Identifying as whatever isn’t on a comprehensive list of all possible gender identities (Gödel-gendered)
Identifying as whatever causes the most problems
Identifying as the fundamental definition of gender
(Current gender)^i
Identifying as a fucking problem
What I am NOT doing:
The whole attack helicopter thing. Seriously. I’m trying to find new ways to express myself, not create a straw man argument against the idea of identifying as something different.
Idk why I’m doing all this. Perhaps it’s part of the process of unlearning biases from my childhood, in that I’m attempting to dissect the whole system and learn more about it. Perhaps I’m just being silly, and conflating personality with gender erroneously. Either way, I know that being able to fully explore gender is healthy, even if you end up right back at cis.
I’d love to hear any more ideas for nigh incomprehensible genders that I can try, cause I’ve ruled out all the normal ones so far.
Been a while, hope you are well. I'd love to request a couple Toya icons with the luna-tic symbol and the two main metagender flags, the black yellow white green flag and the green multilayered flag. Though if it is possible can they be pastel or lightened in some way? They are very eye strain for me personally and I think I saw you do that on your pokemon blog before. If not that's alright but thought it was worth asking. - ❄️
nonbinary isn't "under trans" because these terms describe different things. nonbinary describes a gender or a whole spectrum of genders. trans describes a gender modality. nonbinary is as much "under" trans as male and female are; that is, if a person identifies as trans.
nonbinary can also be "under" isogender, metagender, sensgender, adgender, no gender modality at all or even cis.
nonbinary is not inherently "under" any gender modality. to be a nonbinary ally is to support nonbinary people of any gender modality or none at all, not just trans nonbinary people.
Demiisogender (demimetagender/demiabsgender): being partially isogender, partially something else; a gender modality in which one is partly between, partly beyond or partly removed from cisgender/transgender dichotomy.

It was coined multiple times, just as metagender. Let me tell the definitions I know:
2017: Exogender: A gender which fades into another gender within a long period of time (months/years). A specific term for genderfluid.
2018: As I explained to my friends, like the term “exoskeleton,” which describes an animal with its skeleton on the outside (like lobsters) instead of on the inside (like humans), “exogender” describes my experience of (a)gender as such: on the outside I am strongly (and proudly) a woman, but on the inside I have no gender — I’m agender. This definition is uniquely tied to my experiences living as a (fat, brown-skinned) Black woman and, as such, it’s a term that — should others adopt it — should only be used by Black folks.
2019: A gender that is beyond gender; a non-existent gender; truly, it is not a gender, but simply a word to fill the gap. Not synonymous with agender, as for agender to exist, there must first be a Gender to be Not experienced by agender people. Similar to Praegender and Panengender.
2020: exogender - a fluid gender that is determined by visual appearance. for example, if someone who is exogender presents masculinely, then their gender is exoboy. if the same person chooses to present androgynously, then their gender becomes exononbinary or exoandrogynous.
2021: Exogender or psuedogender is a neurogender and/or xenogender under the exomyn umbrella specific to those in plural systems where one's gender is affected by their psuedomemories or exomemories. This can be in the following ways, or similar.
2023: Exogender is a gender described as being out of the binary and nonbinary like viewing all genders from the outside. An Exogender individual might feel outside of any labels in a way that can only be described as being another subset, and feeling left out from gender, like watching the earth from space.
Okay! For 01/05/2023 these are what feel best for me
Gender!
Metagender:To identify around or beyond a gender. Where your gender identity is almost that gender, but not quite, and also extends beyond that. Imagine that —- is you, and | is the gender identity (and identifying fully with a gender is —-|), then metagender is —- | —-
Agender: Not having a gender, or a lack of a gender
Orientation!
Asexual: Has little or no sexual attraction
Cupiromantic: One that desires a romantic relationship, but experiences little to no romantic attraction.
