Compassgender is an umbrella term for the four genders that are related to the four directions of the compass, or can also be used as a gender on its own if one experiences all four compassgenders.
Compasfluid is a gender in which one is fluid between any number of the four compassgenders. Those genders are: northgender, related to infinite possibilities, earth, creativity, and home; southgender, related to fire, energy, physical strength, and health; westgender, related to the past, confidence, water, emotion, and the psyche; and eastgender, related to the future, air, communication, and trust.
A compasfluid person can be fluid between two, three, or even all four of the compassgenders.
Compassgender: A catchall term for the 4 different genders associated with the 4 directions: Northgender, Southgender, Eastgender, and Westgender.

mentioning the google doc here, i got curious and decided to see if i could help with anything. i’m bigender between northgender and southgender, and i have a friend who is bigender for eastgender and westgender. we started identifying as such when we found your doc with these terms a long time ago, and we’ve been collectively calling them compassgenders (as an umbrella term, and also another one of our friends started identifying as compassgender itself too!). thanks for having the doc public btw!
though, looking at the doc again, it’s sad to see none of those have a flag still. so we were thinking, for all the compassgenders (northgender, southgender, eastgender, and westgender) you could have something like the the 5 triangle template on dA, but with the triangles pointing in the gender’s direction. And with colors associated with the element of each direction.
so then northgender can be basically that template but with browns and greys for earth (I guess different shades of brown so that it’s not the same as the template, aha)
southgender is flipped so that the triangles are pointing down, with orange and red for fire
eastgender is pointing to the right, with white and pale/pastel greens for air
westgender is pointing to the left, with blue and purples for water
and then, we were thinking for an overall compassgender flag, it would be something like the 5 square template, but instead of squares, they’re diamonds (or maybe rhombus? not sure what they’re called), that are split into the different colors of north/south/etc. (i made a quick mspaint drawing of what i mean for this submission, since i figured it might be hard to imagine. feel free to adjust the colors according to whatever you go with for the individual compassgenders!)
we also figured there might be a compassfluid involving one or all of these. one of our other friends is questioning but says they’re leaning pretty heavily towards compassfluid. they said they think the most fitting flag would be our compassgender flag, but the four sections of the inner diamond/rhombus has the colors of the genderfluid flag.
we’re really sorry since this is a lot and you all are probably super busy and making other flags. but, we hope this helps cover these compassgenders! thank you for allowing submissions!
That was a challenge but fun!

The largest 3 diamonds are extending beyond the flag borders. Colors from outside border to center: top: dark gray-brown, gray-brown, light brown, brown, lighter brown.

Left: Dark purple-blue, indigo, dark teal, light teal, sky blue].
Compassfluid:
[Image: Flag made of 5 diamonds stacked on top of each other, the largest 2 extending beyond the flag borders. All but the center and outside diamond is further divided into halves horizontally, and the outside diamond is divided in half vertically. From outside to inside: outside left: light blue, outside right: light green. 2nd top: light brown, 2nd bottom: light orange. (The rest are colored as the genderfluid flag) 3rd top: muted pink, 3rd bottom: muted blue. 4th top: white, 4th bottom: black. Center: purple].
I had to fudge with this one a bit since the genderfluid flag had 5 stripes, not 4 so I tried this! Hope you like :)
Northgender:
[Image: Flag made of 5 triangles stacked on top of each other with all their bases at the bottom of the flag. The largest 3 are extending beyond the flag border. Colors from top to bottom: Dark gray-brown, gray-brown, light brown, brown, lighter brown].
Southgender:
[Image: Same format as above but pointing downward. Colors from bottom to top: Dark red-brown, dark rust, rust, orange, light orange].
Eastgender:
[Image: Same format as above but pointing to the right. Colors from right to left: Light green almost white, light green that fades into darkish green].
[Image: Same as above but with different greens: White, pastel yellow, light green, yellow-green, dark yellow-green ].
Westgender:
[Image: Same format as above but pointing to the left. Colors from right to left: Dark purple-blue, indigo, dark teal, light teal, sky blue].

Eastgender is a compassgender that is related to the direction east, and the symbolism it represents, such as the future, air, communication, and trust.
this is the compassgender anon, thank you so much! i asked my friend who's leaning towards compassfluid if they like the flag, and they said they love it! also, for eastgender, my other friends who's bigender with eastgender and westgender says they prefer the first version without yellow (they say it looks better than the yellow they had for it in our original compassgender flag). so just letting you know in case you're waiting for feedback! and again, thank you so very much for all your work!
