The previous coiner left and put me in charge so I’m redoing this so it makes more sense (also expanding it a bit)
This gender system is made as a way to describe genders that are complex in a simpler way. It doesn’t matter if the person’s gender is multifaceted, combined, or they’re polygender. The system helps to put a word to genders affected by multiple things at once.
It’s free of alignment completely. Male-aligned, female-aligned, trinary-aligned, non-aligned, and etc. are different from being masculine, feminine, or other linities. This system helps to serve a way to separate them further, because the person themselves can be anywhere on an alignment (including not on any alignment) and their gender element will still fit.
Each person experiences masculinity, femininity, or other linities differently. This gender element system doesn’t define what these linities are supposed to be like, just gives a word to the elements a person’s gender consists of.
(Please do not confuse this gender element system for this one, which is made of classical elements. This gender element is made of elements of the periodic table, and alloys made of the metals on the periodic table.)

These are the basic 14 elements.
GOLD is for masculine gender element. Someone whose gender element is ‘aur’ means their gender is masculine. How they express or experience masculinity is defined by them.
Color is based on the colors of gold. Symbol is based on its alchemical symbol of the sun.
SILVER is for feminine gender elements. Someone whose gender element is ‘aren’ means their gender is feminine.
Color is based on the colors of silver. Symbol is based on its alchemical symbol of the moon.
COPPER is for nonbinary gender elements. Someone whose gender element is ‘coer’ means their gender is neither masculine or feminine but isn’t a neutral/no element.
Color is based on the colors of copper. Symbol is based on its alchemical symbol for Venus.
TITANIUM is for agender elements. Someone whose gender element is ‘tian’ means their gender has no element expression, meaning it’s not of any linity at all. They may not have a gender, or they are antigender/gendervoid.
Color is based on the colors of titanium. Symbol is based on its alchemical symbol for Earth.
ZINC is for neutral elements. Someone whose gender is ‘zin’ means their gender has a neutral gender expression, meaning it’s not masculine or feminine but rather a neutral element. Their gender may be in between masculine or feminine or a third group beside the two, but not part of either one, and not absent of element.
Color is based on the shades zinc adds to its alloys. Symbol is based on its alchemical symbol.
ALUMINUM is for fluid elements. Someone whose gender is ‘alum’ means their gender changes linity. It may change expression/presentation or may not. It may also simply fluctuate within its linity, and just change intensity.
Color is based on the shades aluminum gives to its alloys. Symbol is based on its ability to cross gender elements.
IRON is for partial elements. Someone whose gender is ‘fera’ means their gender only has one partial known linity. What that known linity is, how strong it is, how small it is, all don’t matter. The other part of its linity may be known, or not.
Color is based on the color of iron. Symbol is based on its alchemical symbol for Mars.
NICKEL is for gender elements exclusive to a particular culture. Someone who is ‘nial’ means their gender is exclusive to their nationality, heritage, or culture. An example would be Muxe, which has a separate element expression from male or female in mexican culture.
Color is based on the color that nickel adds to its alloys. Symbol is based on the symbol for ‘other gender.’
PLATINUM is for gender elements that are androgynous. This can mean they’re in between masculine and feminine, or are a combination of both, making its own expression.
Color is based on the color platinum adds to its alloys and the combined colors of masculine and feminine, blue and pink. Symbol is based on the alchemical symbol for platinum, or “white gold.”
TIN is for gender elements that are unknown, confusing, or chaotic. Someone whose gender element is ‘sana’ means their gender element isn’t fully or at all known, understood, or too complex to pin down. How intense or chaotic it is doesn’t matter.
Color is based on the color of tin. Symbol is based on its alchemical symbol of Jupiter.
COBALT is for gender elements that are separate from any defined traditional linity. It expresses itself outside any binary, trinary, or unary of any kind. Someone whose gender element is ‘koba’ might be abinary, atrinary, maverique, or nontrinary, or some similar idea.
Color is based on cobalt’s color. Symbol is based on its alchemical symbol.
ANTIMONY is for gender elements affected by neurodivergency. Someone whose gender is ‘ani’ or ‘mona’ (same thing) means their neurodivergency affects their perception of their own gender, or gender in general. No, this does not mean their gender IS their neurodivergency. It means that their mental illness, or physical illness, affects how they experience or perceive their gender, however that may be.
Color is based on the teal ribbon for mental illness awareness. Symbol is based on its alchemical symbol.
LEAD is for gender elements that are xenogender. Someone whose gender is ‘lan’ means their gender is on a linity that is unusual, abstract, or nontraditional. This means they might define their gender by colors, numbers, pictures, crystals, space, or anything that is not expected.
Color is based on the color of lead. Symbol is based on its alchemical symbol for Saturn.
MERCURY - Mera or Hydragea
MERCURY is for gender elements that are affected by a person’s intersex condition. This is ONLY for those who are intersex, not for those who are salmacian (who desire to be both sexes). Someone whose gender element is ‘mera’ or ‘hydragea’ (same thing) is affected by their intersex condition, making it a unique experience.
Color is based on its color in thermometers. Symbol is based on its alchemical symbol for Mercury, as well as the traditional symbol used for those who are intersex.
NEW GENDER ELEMENTS BELOW!
CHROMIUM is for gender elements that can only be defined by the person themselves. These are a liminy that only the person themselves can express, experience, or perceive, too unique to be shared or understood by others. These are for the gender hoarders, egogenders, self-defined gender experiences, and those who choose to break gender norms.
Color is based on the color it turns its alloys into. Symbol is based on its alchemical symbol.
MANGANESE - Mana or Manese
MANGANESE is for gender elements that are connected to a person’s orientation, past life, experiences, self-discovery, religion, alterhumanity, or some other element that is beyond their person, but still associated with their life as they experience it.
Color is based on the various colors that Manganese glitters. Symbol is based on its alchemical symbol.
