seeing my actual name in your quiz was a delicious jumpscare
i put that question in there for someone who was helping me test the maze before i published it and left it in there on the off chance someone taking it had the same name, glad to see that paid off
Are there any psychosis/schizophrenia specific genders/sexualities etc
putting this under a read more cause it’s long
Errofluid / Erroflux / Errogender: A gender which is fluid or fluxes in relation to psychotic symptoms; e.g. when someone’s psychosis symptoms are strong and they’re having a manic episode they feel genderless, but when they’re having a depressive episode they feel more male. However, the term errogender can be used regardless of how your psychosis affects your gender.
Posigender: A feeling that one’s gender is defined by or influenced by positive symptoms of their schizophrenia. Positive means symptoms non-psychotic people don’t have but psychotic people might (like hallucinations, delusions).
Negagender: A feeling that one’s gender is defined by or influenced by negative symptoms of their schizophrenia. Negative means traits psychotic people might have which suggest the absence of a “normal” trait (like having flat affect, anhedonia).
Delusogender: A subset of posigender in which one’s gender is influenced by one’s delusions. Strictly for schizophrenic/psychotic/delusional people. This can be a multigender identity if your delusogender is made of multiple genders itself.
Delusofluid: A subset of delusogender in which one’s gender changes as they experience delusions. This can be fluid through delusogenders, or simply changing between experiencing a delusogender and not experiencing one.
Holidelusogender: A subset of delusogender in which one’s gender is affected by delusions of being divine, holy, demonic, angelic, or godly.
Grandelusogender: A subset of delusogender in which one’s gender is influenced by delusions of grandeur.
Paradelusogender: A subset of delusogender in which one’s gender is influenced by paranoid delusions.
Genderfake: Feeling that your gender is part of your hallucinations or delusions.For people who experience delusions or hallucinations as part of their mental illness or neurodivergence only.
Gendernoia: A gender affected by paranoia. Can be combined with other genders.
Psychogender: A gender that can only be understood in the context of a psychotic disorder.
Malagender: A gender which is created or influenced by maladaptive daydreaming or fantasy prone personalities. For example a malagender person might feel male usually but their gender may feel more nonbinary during a maladaptive daydreaming episode. A gender specific to people who experience maladaptive daydreaming due to a neurodivergence such as: schizotypal personality disorder, schizoid personality disorder, schizophrenia or similar.
Genderdisordered: A gender that is heavily influenced by, or unable to be defined because of disorganized thinking or a thought disorder.
Skhizeingender: A gender that is strongly connected to schizophrenia, or having a gender that is difficult to describe or communicate because of being schizophrenic. This term is exclusive to individuals with schizophrenia or schizophrenia related symptoms. Pronounced: sk-heez-ein-gender
Schizo-: An orientation for people on the schizo spectrum who feel like their disorder(s) affects their attraction in the way they perceive it, experience it or in its intensity.
Mala-: An orientation which is created or influenced by maladaptive daydreaming or fantasy prone personalities. For example a Malasexual person might feel pansexual usually but may feel more asexual during a maladaptive daydreaming episode. An orientation specific to people who experience maladaptive daydreaming due to a neurodivergence such as: schizotypal personality disorder, schizoid personality disorder, schizophrenia or similar.
(i didn’t include neurogenders/orientations that weren’t specific to psychosis/the schizo-spec so have a look through: my neurogender tag,@pride-color-schemes’ neurogender tag & their neurorientation tag)

Various gender terms with no known flags (part 16)
Genderfake: Feeling that your gender is part of your hallucinations or delusions.
For people who experience delusions or hallucinations as part of their mental illness or neurodivergence only.
Genderfractal, Genderswirl, or Genderspiral: A gender that seems to spiral downward into more genders when you try to figure it out.
Genderfree or Gender-free: A gender identity which is generally ambiguous, but definitely queer in nature. The owner will tend to pursue expressions, presentations and such without concern for gender associations associated with them. Can also embrace days presenting as very femme or very masc, etc. A blurry, cloudy, whimsical, free sense of gender. Can/often co-existing with other gender identity labels; Dysphoria can, but does not have to, motivate the sense of gender and/or gender expression of this person on any given day. Similar to gender fluid, but does not necessarily have as much fluidity. More of just the exploration of different aspects of the same identity (although this is flexible, as gender tends to be for genderfree folks).
Gendergoliath: Gender is almost larger than life, like it’s spilling out of your body. It takes up a lot of space and is just awe inspiring.
Genderhollow or Genderempty: A gender that is present, but is empty or hollow.
