Apollogender is a gender that is composed of 7 or 9 (ish) genders that combine into one. The exact number of genders may range from 6-10. Named after the Greek God Apollon when synced with Helios, as Apollon's sacred number is 7 and Helios's is 9. The gender may also feel influenced by worship of Helios/Apollon, their domains, or the sun.
Flag, meaning & my reason for recoining are under the cut.
The flag is symbolic largely of the merge of Apollon and Helios, as Apollon is only a sun god when combined with Helios's mythos.
Meanings:
Navy: Helios, the mati, merged identity
Red Orange: Helios & Apollon, heat
Orange: Helios & Apollon, warmth
Light Orange: Helios & Apollon, music
Yellow: The sun
The black symbol in the middle is the astrological symbol for the sun. There are nine stripes total; seven for Apollon, with Helios represented by those plus two stripes to make nine for him.

Apollogender was originally coined back in 2014. The main reason I’m doing this recoining is just… an extremely weird and frustrating unchallenged error, which is that Apollon is a god of nine domains. He has numerous domains that vary by time and place, which can probably number up to the dozens. Additionally, he has a sacred number, and it's seven--Helios is nine.
But the ultimate meaning of the term is pretty much the same, just with more accuracy and ties to my religion.

Apollogender: When you have 9(ish, can be anywhere from 6-10) different distinct feelings of gender, but they have mixed into one big gender identity. Based on the Greek god Apollo, who was the god of 9 different things. (x, x)
