Hello again!

This month, let's talk about genders that exist in between genders. Those are called centrigenders! Is this something you experience yourself? Tell me about it!

The Trinteri flags consists of three down-pointing chevrons of the same size, with negative space above, between and to the left and right bottom corner of the flag. The top negative space is very light green. The left-botton negative space is very light pink. The right-bottom negative space is very light blue. The chevrons from top to bottom are indigo, grey and teal with very very light grey space in between. ./. End ID]

Trinteri: a gender amidst the Gender Trinary; a gender that is centered in the middle of the Male-Female-Neutrois trinary.

Etymology

[PT: Etymology ./. End ID]

From Latin, "Tri-", a prefix meaning "Three" + "Inter" meaning "Between" + "-i", an English neologistic suffix indicating genderness. Literally "between the three". Coined by Gent (Gender-Jargon) (link) in March 2024.

Elaboration

[PT: Elaboration ./. End ID]

Trinteri was created as a result of this post (link) by @your-bigender-big-brother (link). The post posed the question, "what gender quality is right in the center of the trinary?". Most replied, including myself, neutrangity, while others cited epicenity or neutrœmmity, but the more I thought about it, the more I began to feel like these suggested designations were only approximate and didn't quite get to the root of the question.

As Stormy said emself in eir essay (link) ey wrote, the Gender Trinary contains qualities aside from masculinity, femininity and androgyny. Aside from these three, some others are effeminacy, femmulinity, epicenity, neutrommity, neutremmity, neutrœmmity, gynxemity, androxulinity, gyndroxity, neutrangity, tomboyishness and janegirlishness, to name a couple. This got me thinking, which lead me to coin Trinteri as a centrigender that includes the entire Gender Trinary.

Here is the graphic that Stormy included with eir question, which I edited to add Trinteri in the center for reference:

[Image Id: a graphical representation of the Gender Trinary. It is a down-pointing triangle with the left corner labeled "masculine", the right corner labeled "feminine" and the downward-facing point labeled "neutral". Between masculine and feminine, feminine and neutral and masculine and neutral are double-pointing arrows. In the left corner, there is a point labeled "Man". In the right corner, there is a point labeled "Woman". In the downward-facing point, there is a point labeled "Neutrois". Between "Man" and "Woman" is a point labeled "Androgyne". Between "Neutrois" and "Man" is a point labeled "Neutromme". Between "Neutrois" and "Woman" is a point labeled "Neutremme". In the very center, circled and pointed to by a large arrow is a point labeled "Trinteri", which is located at the very center of the diagram. ./. End ID]

I propose the term trinterinity to refer to the quality of gender that is located in the very center of the Gender Trinary. I would be very interested to hear about Stormy's thoughts on this post to see if ey agree, if I missed the mark or if ey have any other kind of feedback for me.

Trinteri is can be considered a midtrinary aporagender. Trinteri is:

a single, specific non-binary identity.

located in the very center of the Gender Trinary of Male-Female-Neutrois.

a centrigender of all trinary gender qualities.

[PT: a single, specific non-binary identity. located in the very center of the Gender Trinary of Male-Female-Neutrois. a centrigender of all trinary gender qualities. ./. End PT]

Trinteri is quite similar to, but distinct from Neutrangi, Neutrœmme and Epicene:

[PT: Trinteri is quite similar to, but distinct from Neutrangi, Neutroemme and Epicene: ./. End PT]

Neutrangi

[PT: Neutrangi ./. End PT]

Neutrangi and Trinteri are both in between Male, Female (rationalized as Androgyne) and Gender-Neutral, but Trinteri is also centered/in between all other trinary genders.

Neutrœmme

[PT: Neutroemme ./. End PT]

Neutrœmme and Trinteri are both in between Male, Female (rationalized as Femache) and Gender-Neutral, but is also centered/in between all other trinary genders.

Epicene

[PT: Epicene ./. End ID]

Epicene is a gender related to Male-Female indeterminance, having characteristics of both Maleness and Femaleness and/or having no characteristics indicative of Maleness or Femaleness. Epicene is a relatively complicated identity, as it can be considered masculine, feminine, androgynous, neutral and a sort of genderless all-in-one.

Both Trinteri and Epicene encompass experiences of masculinity, femininity, androgyny and neutrality, but Trinteri involves all other trinary identities as well. Trinteri is explicitly a centrigender, where as Epicene is generally considered not to be. Epicene is definitively indeterminate with regards to the Male-Female binary, but Trinteri may or may not be indeterminate in it's nature.

Pride Flag

[PT: Pride Flag ./. End PT]

The Trinteri pride flag was created by the coiner at the same time of the term (Gent, GJ, 3/24). The flag consists of three down-pointing chevrons of the same size, with negative space above, between chevrons and to the left and right bottom corner of the flag. The top negative space is very light green. The left-botton negative space is very light pink. The right-bottom negative space is very light blue. The chevrons from top to bottom are indigo, grey and teal with very light grey in between. The colors have the following meanings:

The very light-green negative space represents neutrinity.

The very light-pink negative space represents femininity.

The very light-blue negative space represents masculinity.

The purple chevron represents androgyny.

The grey chevron represents neutremmity.

The teal chevron represents neutrommity.

The very light grey negative space between the chevrons represents the center of the Gender Trinary.

Neutrœmme Pride Flag

Neutrœmme (neutroemme or neutreomme): the combination of neutremme and neutromme; a centrigender of neutral, male, and female, meaning a gender in-between femache (or femasle) and neutral.

Different from neutrangi, it's specifically femmache instead of androgyne (although some use interchangeably). Also it can be considered a mix of two circa-binary centrigenders, for example: gender shuffler or multigender.

[stormy-talks]

Is it weird/bad that I don't like the circa-binary model? Like that little graphic with all the colorful balls?

Proxvir and juxera are placed between femache/male and femache/female respectively. Why? Proxvir and juxera don't exist between those things. That's what androgyne is (not androgynous. Androgyne.) Proxvir and juxera should exist on the outskirts of the graph near the points they resemble - proxvir outside of male and juxera outside of female.

Proximal genders and centrigenders (androgyne, gynx, androx, neutremme, neutromme, etc.) should be two different concepts, all a part of the circa-binary. Wouldn't that make more sense? I also don't think nixic genders fit the model at all. Why are they even included? They're just agenrine identities related to the gender binary.

I have a model in mind that I need to doodle real quick and add to this post. I just wanted to get my thoughts out there about this thing. I think we can make it better, more concise.

[imoga-pride]

is there a term for when youre a girl/woman but in a neutral or agender way?

gxrl/womxn: a gender where a female and an agender identity are experienced simultaneously or with variation.

neutrogirl/neutrowoman: a subset of neutrogender that is neutrois or mostly neutrois with strong connections to femininity. it's similar to demigirl, but is more specifically partially female and partially neutrois, with the neutrois part outweighing the feminine part.

neulier: a gender that is female or female-aligned, but is entirely neutral, rather than feminine. it can also be described as a someone who is fiaspec, but is ningender, rather than fingender.

neuwoman: a woman that is neutrally gendered; a gender-neutral woman.

ningirl: a gender that is both neutral-in-nature and female, or being both a neutral-in-nature gender and a female gender

neutrafemale: a gender identity that is partially neutral/neutrois and partially female.

agender girl: agender individuals find that they have no gender identity, however, an agender girl has some connection to girlhood/femininity.

feminull: a multigender where someone who is part woman and part gendernull, or both fully at the same time.

neutroera: being part neutrois and part female-adjacent, female-aligned, and/or female.

neunixemme: a gender between nixera and epinixene/neunixic; a combination of nixic and neutremme.

libraneufem: a scale where one side is agender and the other side is femineutral or neutrofeminine; an identity that is mostly agender but: has partial/strong/particular connection to neutrofemininity and/or its gendered feelings; experiences little attachment to being femineutrois.

neutragender: a gender that is both neutrois and agender/no gender. you can be a neutrois and agender/no gender at the same time, go between them, or fluctuate between feeling neutral-gender and not feeling gender.

neutrix: being simultaneously neutrois agender; someone who is neutrally agendered; the root of neugender(s), ie. a neutral genderless, that is a neutrois nullified itself, resulting on a zerogender-ness or a demigender-ness or a numbergender less than one but distinct of zero, positively or not.

Newly Coined Centrigenders

These are some centrigenders I came up with that won't have any flags made for them, but will have symbols made at some point. These can be posted to any gender wiki, as they already exist as part of a larger system of terms that wasn't coined by me. Just be sure to credit me!

Mavrinix: Between maverique and androgyne.

Mavrox: Between maverique and androx.

Mavrynx: Between maverique and gynx.

Neutrautonome: Between neutral and maverique.

Mavautre: Between maverique and outherine.

Neuxomme: Between neutral and neutromme.

Neuxemme: Between neutral and neutremme.

Neudrox: Between neutral and androx.

Neugynx: Between neutral and gynx.

Below are my ideas for symbols, doodled so I don't forget them. I'll refine them and remake them in Photoshop in the next few days!

A little bonus under the cut: Symbols for centrigender terms that already exist. Just for fun.

[your-bigender-big-brother]

I finally decided to make flags for the centrigenders I recently coined. I thought I couldn't make them look good but then I went with a format that might work. The flags are under the terms and for easy archival, I won't put them under a Read More.

Angidrox: A gender between androgyne and androx.

Angigynx: A gender between androgyne and gynx.

Mavautre: A gender between maverique and outherine.

Mavrinix: A gender between maverique and androgyne.

Mavrox: A gender between maverique and androx.

Mavrynx: A gender between maverique and androgyne.

Neudrox: A gender between epicene and androx.

Neugynx: A gender between epicene and gynx.

Neutrautonome: A gender between epicene and maverique.

Neuxemme: A gender between epicene and neutremme.

Neuxomme: A gender between epicene and neutromme.

[your-bigender-big-brother]

Here is a term I wanted to coin called centrine. It's a gender quality for centrigenders, midgenders, midbinary genders, and any of those that sit between two genders. It can include androgynous genders and lingenders. I'm thinking it can be centrine-in-nature, or CENIN (I'm still deciding on this.)

Genders that might be considered centrine: Androgyne, androx, gynx, neutromme, neutremme, neutrangi, trinteri, and many more. - 💙💚

[your-bigender-big-brother]

Mavrinix, mavrox, and mavrynx can be synonyms of angiverique, homaverique, and femaverique I guess. The difference is that yours are based on androx/gynx and the others on homme/femme (from neutromme/neutremme/neutrangi).

Thank you. I tried to look around to see if any maverine centrigender terms had been coined, but I couldn't find any. I always feel a little silly when I accidentally coin something that already exists. My bad! 😅 - 💙💚

[beyond-mogai-pride-flags]

Femaverique Pride Flag

Femaverique or femmaverique (veremme/maveremme): a gender in between female and maverique.

The term is based in neutremme. It's similar to menaverique, maveriera, or maverique woman, but femaverique is specifically a centrigender/circa-binary identity.

What Exists Within the Gender Trinary?

(An essay under the cut.)

The gender trinary is typically viewed as consisting of femininity, masculinity, and neutrality. In a previous essay, I talked about what gender neutrality is, and before that I explained what identities lie outside of the trinary. Now, let’s take a step back and talk about what exists within the gender trinary and how complex it can actually be.

The gender trinary is simply made up of femininity, masculinity, and neutrality - however, you may see gender terms that refer to qualities that are not trinary nor in between anything within the trinary. What does “in between'' refer to in this context? We’re already familiar with the concept of androgyny (also called epicenity), which is the experience of being between masculine and feminine in some way - some people may lean one way or the other, some may be in the dead center, and others may see themselves as being a perfect blend of both. Keep in mind that this isn’t an inherently multigender experience, but often an experience of gender expression or presentation (depending on who you ask.)

In-between qualities don’t just exist within the binary of feminine and masculine. If you imagine the trinary as a literal triangle with each main quality sitting right on its points, you can draw a line between all three to complete the shape. Along these lines are your in-betweens. You can be in between masculinity and neutrality, or femininity and neutrality - called neutromme and neutremme respectively. You can even be right in the center of the entire triangle and consider yourself as being in between every single gender quality (some people might call this neutrandrogynous or something similar, but it doesn’t really have a word.)

Additional identities within the trinary aren't just the in-betweens. Words like “masculinity” and “femininity" are actually umbrella terms for more specific identities, such as fluid or fluctuating genders, masc- or fem-aligned genders, proximal genders, and genders related to atrinarity while still being within the trinary.

Many people also view the trinary as male, female, and neutral - genders rather than gender qualities. In this case, a lot of identities that can fall within this trinary are demigenders - demiboy, demigirl, demineutral - or multigender identities such as bigender or trigender (though multigender identities can also encompass atrinarity and beyond depending on the individual.) Neutrois and similar niaspec genders can fall under the trinary as well as “compound” genders like boygirl, manwoman, neutramale, and neutrafemale. Aporagender also falls under the trinary, as it can include neutrality.

As you can see, the gender trinary includes far more than just three gender qualities. These three are more like gender quality categories, where any one of them may encompass several other gender qualities. Remember, just about any gender term can be an umbrella term for more specific labels, and any attempt to put genders into strict categories will always be met with exceptions. It may be a trinary, but there's plenty of wiggle room for even more.

[your-bigender-big-brother]

Centrinic: The experience of having a centrigender no matter how the rest of your gender changes or moves.

One can be fluid between many non-centrine identities while centrigender remains the "base" of the identity, or one can fluctuate between intensities of gender while the centrigender stays present. Centrigenders include androgyne, neutremme, neutromme, androx, gynx, neutrangi, trinteri, and many more.
