[lovecoric-culture-is]

hi hello!!! what do these terms mean? /gen

yeah, ofc!

Lovecoric is a xenogender based on lovecore & love aesthetics. It includes the colors red, pink, and white; boxes of chocolate; love letters; lipstick; cupid; and more.

Lovergender is a xenogender based on love of any kind. Feeling love isn't needed for this gender, though. The difference between this and lovecoric is that lovergender is also tied to feelings of affection.

Lovegender is a gender that is defined by love for trans people who are treated badly, or simply a love for your own gender. It also can mean a detachment from your gender that is influenced by being in love.

Lovesickgender is when one's gender is very connected to their attraction of any kind. Their gender is an "obsessive" part of their love; the more attracted they are, the more bold and grand their gender is.

Obsesscoric is an aesthetigender surrounding the "aesthetic" of obsessive love AKA "Yandere".

These are all the ones I could think of; if there's any specific identity you're wondering about, let me know!

For anyone who might need it, here’s some terms to help with gender identification. If you don’t feel the need to label yourself, awesome! This is for those who struggle and don’t know what they are yet, and want to have the comfort of not being alone! Message me if you want to describe what you feel and maybe I can help you find one. Self discovery takes a long time! This includes what the term means, if the term has more than one meaning, who identifies as the term, and average pronouns.

Non-Binary - can be used as an umbrella term that encompasses ANYONE who is not constructing to the gender binary (meaning, yes, it can include transgenders if they so please, but it doesn’t have to) - it can also refer to someone’s full gender identity, being that you’re just somewhere in the middle - most common pronouns are they/them but some use she/her and he/him still depending on their feelings about themself

Genderfluid - when one’s sense of gender identity fluctuates between. Think of gender as a compass. You have female, and male, and both, and none. Genderfluid fluctuates between all 4. But just like you can be going in a southwest direction, genderfluid people can be experiencing something in between these too. You can feel more feminine but still not really care about your gender one day, for example. - pronouns fluctuate between day to day

Agender - someone who feels like they don’t associate with a gender identity at all. They’re not female or male, or anything in between. Think of gender as a compass. You have female, male, and both, and none. This would be the “none” section. - typically uses they/them pronouns

Bigender - someone who identifies as both genders at the same time. Referring back to the compass, they are “both.” - typically uses He/him and she/her pronouns (I was corrected on this, so thank you to the person who corrected me!)

Transgender - transgender simple has to do with a dissatisfaction to one’s sex, some people use this to not only describe MTF or FTM, but other in between things like agender and bigender and such. This is because they still don’t enjoy their birth sex and don’t align with it. Some transgender people consider themself non-binary; some non-binaries consider themself transgender. It all depends on the definition you go by. - MTF uses feminine pronouns, FTM used masculine pronouns, and nonbinaries use any depending.

Demiboy - someone who identifies mostly as a boy, but not fully. This person can be born a boy (which means they have slightly feminine aspects to themself, regardless of sex), or born as a girl (almost transgender, but doesn’t fully identify as the opposite sex) - typically He/him and they/them pronouns

Demigirl - same thing as demiboy but flip it around. Someone who identifies mostly as a girl, but not fully. This person can be born a girl (which means they have some slightly masculine aspects of themself, regardless of sex), or born a boy (almost transgender but doesn’t fully identify as the opposite sex) - typically she/her and they/them pronouns

AgH idk if there's an FAQ or if this has already been answered, but here we go I think I might be Non-binary, but I'm not really sure. I'm either non-binary or androgyne? Can you explain the difference to me please? Thank you ;3; (I'm sorry if this was vague)

Hey there, Anon. There’s no need to apologize; you were perfectly understandable.

I think the easiest way for me to highlight the differences between the two terms is to start with their definitions. See the final paragraph for the bare bones.

Nonbinary: (Source: Me)Nonbinary is an umbrella term used to describe someone who exists in a way incompatible with the gender binary. For one reason or another, a nonbinary person cannot be described as simply a man (boy) or a woman (girl). This could mean that they have a gender that is neither of those, lack a gender, have a combination of the binary genders, are only partially a binary gender, experience multiple genders at the same/different times, etc. Nonbinary can also be used as an identity of its own.

Androgyne: (Sources: gender.wikia.com, nonbinary.miraheze.org) Please note that I cannot vouch for the accuracy of these sources as I do not know if they were written by androgyne individuals. If someone with that identity wishes to come forward to make any corrections, I would greatly appreciate it.Androgyne is a gender which can be both feminine and masculine, neither of the two, or rests somewhere in between. People also apparently use it to denote their presentation without necessarily describing their gender. It’s important to note that this term seems to have connections with intersex people (one of my sources states that it’s another word for intersex and many initial google results conflate it with the term h*rmaphrodite).

In summary, nonbinary is an umbrella term and an identity available to anyone with a complex relationship with the gender binary; this includes androgyne. Androgyne is both an identity and a type of gender expression. It describes people “between” the two binary genders in some way. It has some connections to intersex which may make it off-limits as a gender identity if it’s still in use in that form.

A New Generation Overthrows Gender

Parents, schools and elected officials are working to catch up and adapt to the needs of children and teens who don't fit into familiar gender categories.

Pretty good article about how gender definitions are changing

Some of you guys really don’t know definitions and really need to. It’s 90% of the reasons you guys argue.

For example, regarding “trans people without dysphoria,” you guys need to understand these three terms. A lot of you guys don’t actually know what Dysphoria is and instead define it as the same as Body Dysphoria.

Dysphoria - ANY and ALL dissatisfaction of your sex. This can be because of gender roles, body shape, what you’re forced to wear, etc, etc. It’s not only how you look. It’s how you’re treated and how you feel about it. How the pronouns someone says to you make you feel. Not just you have tits or your parts don’t match your mind.

Body dysphoria - specific type of dysphoria in which your PARTS do not match your gender identity. This means having Dysphoria because you have lower parts that you don’t like because you don’t identify with them.

Dysmorphia - disliking something about your body or appearance and it has nothing to do with your gender and sex not matching. You don’t like your tits being so big because it hurts walking around, or you don’t like being hit on because of them, etc. or your tummy is too chubby for your liking. That’s dysmorphia; not Dysphoria.

Dysphoria is a disorder, classified by the DSM-5. It isn’t a disorder to be trans; it’s a disorder to feel bad about your own body due to your sex and gender identity not matching.

Some of you guys really also don’t know how to argue your points. The point of “if you don’t have dysphoria and then transition, haven’t you heard the horror stories of people developing Dysphoria?” There’s so many valid points to the argument that you need dysphoria to be trans. This and one’s based on medical opinions are not. Why? If you’re trans and don’t have dysphoria, why the hell would you waste all that money and time doing those surgeries? There’s no point. If you’re happy with your body, don’t change it!! Beyond that, this only specifically argues body dysphoria, which is bull. Someone can have dysphoria about being a guy and being forced to wear a dress! And well, medical professionals have been invalidating the LGBTQA+ community for as long as the community has existed, in both psychology, medical, and scientific studies, and so on. Pretty much anything in the scientific field. Why the hell would you use someone who said you didn’t exist and that you are just diseased and plagued as part of justifying your argument?

[springtime-sprockets]

This may sound like baiting but I promise you its not... I'm just lost and don't trust google. Can you maybe explain the differences between things like enby, non-binary, genderqueer, generfluid, and agender? And any others that fit in that since I probably don't even have enough listed? I don't know if some are different words for the same thing or what. I just want to respect people better but it seems rude to ask at this point when most people understand at this point...

It’s okay to not know! I’d much rather be asked to explain these things all the time than people being too afraid to ask!

Heres a list of some of the identities I see most often in the LGBTQ+ community, but it is by no means exhaustive. I do hope this makes sense as it is literally 2am as I am writing this aha

Nonbinary / NB / Enby are all different ways to say the same thing. Nonbinary is an umbrella term that covers any term besides male and female, which are called the Binary genders.

Genderqueer is similar to Nonbinary but is a bit different. Genderqueer is a gender/label that some people use/identify as, and afaik it basically means not Cisgender.

Cisgender is a term that means identifying as your AGAB (Assigned Gender At Birth).

Genderfluid refers to a gender that isn’t static. It is both an umbrella term and a solid standalone gender.

Genderflux refers to a gender that fluctuates in intensity, from Agender to that gender (Eg. Boyflux, Girlflux, etc).

Bigender is a gender that is made up of two separate genders, most commonly male and female. It can be both at the same time or at different times (this is a form of Genderfluid).

Pangender refers to a gender that is infinite and therefore made up of all genders.

Demigender refers to a gender that is partially connected to a Nonbinary gender (Eg. Demiboy, Demigirl, Demifluid, Demiflux, etc.).

Transgender is an umbrella term for a person who does not identify with their AGAB. The opposite of Cisgender.

Agender refers to a lack of gender. Some Agender people do have a connection to masculinity, androgyny, and/or femininity.
