apsconsugender: a gender in which one knows what it isn’t, but not what it is, as though the gender is hiding itself from them

definition from here!

[ask-pride-color-schemes]

so like, i know pre- is an orientation but can you be a pre gender? like as in not feeling like your far enough in your experience with your gender to know what your gender is?

Pregender is defined as “a feeling that one’s gender is growing into, but not quite yet at, a particular gender. A preboy, for example, may feel that their gender is transitioning towards, but has not yet reached, male”. I don’t think that would be the same thing as what the orientation pre means.

These labels may be slightly more accurate:

Perigender: “A gender identity that is not currently known, but is becoming clearer over time. A transitional identity. Not to be confused with Paragender.“

Anongender: “A gender that is unknown to both yourself and others.“

Apsconsugender: “A gender identity that is a process of elimination. What it is--is unknown, but the person is able to define what it isn’t.A gender where you know what it isn’t, but not what it is. like the gender is hiding itself from you.“

There are also other labels that have to do with unknown genders, and gender questioning, of course. But idk. I don’t think I would personally have a problem with a second definition for pregender or with a new label either...? Usually it’s best to have separate labels, but I feel like pre as an orientation is more well known. Idk.

Nongender

Nongender: A gender that is most accurately described by what it isn’t, not by what it is.

Note: If someone is a nongender of a binary gender, they are not necessarily the other binary gender. A nonboy is not necessarily a girl, and vice versa. Nongenders are for people who are more sure of what their gender isn’t rather than what it is.

Examples: A binary trans girl who is sure she is a girl would not need to use the label nonboy, as her identity is rooted in the fact that she is a girl, not that she is not a boy.

A gender neutral person who is sure they are gender neutral would not need to use the labels nonboy and nongirl, as their identity is rooted in the fact that they are gender neutral, not that they are not a boy nor a girl.

Another person is unsure of their gender and does not know what they are. However, they are sure they are not a girl. Thus, that person could use the label nongirl!

A demigirl may have a partial connection to being a girl, but is more sure that she is not a boy rather than she is a girl. She could use the label nonboy!

Important note: This might be synonymous with Apsconsugender: “A gender identity that is a process of elimination. What it is--is unknown, but the person is able to define what it isn’t.

A gender where you know what it isn’t, but not what it is. like the gender is hiding itself from you.”

Various gender terms with no known flags (part 1)

Abditusgender or Sectiogender: When you have a general idea of what your gender is but feel that it's still hiding important factors from you, or that it's slowly revealing itself to you but continues to keep some of itself hidden and you don't know how to bring it about.

Algiagender: Having a gender which changes depending on your pain levels or type of pain you're feeling. Only for those with chronic pain.

Aliegender or Aliengender: A gender that is an interpretation of a gender or genders, from a nonhuman perspective. may or may not like to fit into a gender and adopt a gender, but in a sort of ‘alien trying out foreign species’s gender’ way. Can be combined with relevant genders.

Apsconsugender: A gender identity that is a process of elimination. What it is--is unknown, but the person is able to define what it isn’t. A gender where you know what it isn’t, but not what it is. like the gender is hiding itself from you. From the latin word absconsus, meaning hidden, secret, concealed, unknown.

Archaigender: A gender that is ancient/old and big, and can either only be described with those words, or is correlated to them. Can be changed into archaiboy/girl/nonbinary/other.

Trying this out to see what works best. For now I’mma put 10 terms per post and queue maybe 2-4 times a day. If that’s too overwhelming for anyone then send an ask and we can make it smaller! All these terms are in the docs as well 

[Link for A-K] and [Link for L-Z] and [Link for text only]

If any of you know if there’s flags for any of these already, please send a link to it so we can add it to the gallery! And if you know who coined it so we can properly credit them (and that includes if it was anonymously posted or the blog deactivated).

[nonbinary-support]

hey. ive been questioning my gender for a long time, and im pretty sure im nonbinary, but now everytime i think about gender (like, actually start questioning it) i have mild panick attacks and idk what to do? because not knowing my gender makes me anxious (i guess im one of those people that likes labels) but thinking about it makes me anxious. i have no idea what to do... sorry for bothering.

hey! theres actually a gender that describes this exactly! even if you want a term that describes your actual gender specifically, hopefully this will at least be a band-ad fix? followers?

kynigender: when you feel like you’re figuring out your gender, but then you get confused about it due to the anxiety/stress it causes you and have to start all over again

note: this gender is only for people with anxiety disorders

if you dont have an anxiety disorder (i mean it sounds like you do but) then theres also these:

novigender: a gender experience too hard to read/process/understand or too complex to pin down to one word 

obruogender: When one’s gender is swelling or overwhelming to one. Used when somebody is overwhelmed or overpowered by their gender identity, to an even uncomfortable or suffocating feeling.

iragender: when your gender is angering. another way to put it is that thinking about/figuring out your gender is emotionally exhausting and now you’re mad at your gender.

rosegender: a gender that is layered and thorny. trying to hold onto the gender and pick apart every layer only causes emotional pain and stress. you can also have subtypes, ie rosegirl: a gender that has origins in girlness but you can’t quite place in what way.

snakegender: when your gender slips away every time you try to reach for it to figure it out, and it’s always changing and it’s really scary to confront so you just try to avoid it

then there are these, which are just some elusive genders but dont specify any type of anxiety/emotional tie

apsconsugender: a gender where you know what it isn’t, but not what it is. like the gender is hiding itself from you.

cocoongender: a gender that has not come out yet, a gender that has yet to emerge in its full form

ectogender: a gender that seems elusive, constantly out of your grasp, and impossible to pin down

existigender: a gender that only exists when you think about it, or is quiet until called to attention. alternatively, feeling genderless until a gender is consciously chosen.

staticgender: a gender that is literally like static on a tv; fuzzy + incomprehensible

hope this helps some
