DEFODION — A gender tied to the feeling of being buried, planted, or otherwise existing beneath the earth. It may feel suffocating or crushing like the weight of soil, or freeing like the slow return of one's existence to the earth around them. It may even drift from one to the other as one finds and accepts their identity. This gender might feel eternal and perfect but hidden, or slowly becoming one with its surroundings, returning to the natural order.
All interpretations of this gender are correct!
