Aphorix: Describing a Non-Aphorian individual that finds an abinarine gender attribution befitting and considers it an essential facet of their gender identity.
A sibling term of Mascix, Femix, Gynandrix & Neuix.
Etymology
Aphorix was created to mirror the paradigm used for Mascix. Femix, Gynandrix and Neuix.
From English, “Aphor” from “Aphorian” + “-ix”, an neologistic suffix used by other terms in this genus, originally based upon Apathmascix and Apathfemix coined by user Cybertroniancoining. Aphorix was coined by Gent of Gender-Jargon, 2023.
Elaboration
Aphorix is a complex and potentially contradictory identity in which one’s gender is not aphorian, but has abinarine traits attributed to them nonetheless, and this attribution is not only considered to be fitting by the individual, but an integral part of their overall gender experience.
More simply, an Aphorix individual:
Has a gender identity that they consider to be Non-Aphorian.
Has traits of abinarinity attributed to them by other individuals.
Considers having traits of abinarinity attributed to their person to be agreeable and in a few, multiple or all manners at least part of the time.
Considers this attribution to be an intrinsic part of their experience of their gender as a whole.
An Aphorix individual is not apathetic to an abinarine gender attribution, but instead enjoys, appreciate, entertains, welcomes or otherwise freely accepts abinarine traits being attributed to their person. Furthermore, this attribution is a fundamental aspect of their gender experience.
Flag
The Aphorix flag was created to match the Mascix, Femix, Gynandrix and Neuix flags. The flag consists of three vertical bars and a central, horizontal bar, forming a tri-color flag with a median line. At the left is the darkest yellow, becoming lighter as it moves right. The median stripes is beige in color. The colors have the following meanings:
The brown, bronze and light yellow stripes represents abinarine gender attribution.
The light pink stripe represents not being an Aphorian.
The Aphorix flag was created by Gent of Gender-Jargon in 2023.
Note: Gender attribution is not necessarily based upon one’s expression, but is more frequently an assumption made about an individual’s gender identity without their input. Being an assumption, it is not always correct, good, wanted or warranted. Affirming attributions are congruent with one’s perception of themselves. Incorrect and undesired attributions are incongruent with this perception and are often distressing. Aphorix should not be used to describe anyone who does not like abinarinity being attributed to them, as it would be misdenoting on multiple levels
