omg hiiiiii *genders you*

anyway i thought daydream was a limited term, made three words, and then made four genders! im absolutely mad with linguistic power!!!!!!!

(none of these are connected to madd, there’s already a maladaptive daydreaming based gender and i don’t wanna infringe on that)

the flags represent, in order:

daydreamgender: a gender that feels in some way connected to daydreams! possibly you feel like your gender isn’t quite tethered to reality, or you feel like your gender is only a daydream, or you just think daydreams are a very gender thing!!

dawndreamgender: a gender that feels connected to daydreams, but specifically the kind of daydreams you have when it’s early morning and you haven’t quite woken up yet! possibly a gender that feels kinda tired, not quite connected to reality, or hopeful/sunny!

twilightdreamgender/twidreamgender: a gender that feels connected to daydreams, but specifically the kind of daydreams you have in the time between getting in bed and falling asleep! possibly a gender that feels sleepy, or almost dreamlike, or just like daydreamgender but Darker!

nightdreamgender: a gender connected to the kind of daydreams you have late at night when you can’t fall asleep! possibly feels not quite connected to reality, dark and mysterious, or even sort of lonely!

(dawndream, twilightdream, and nightdream are also just Words that anyone is free to use! i think theyre pretty cool :D)

pls check my dni before you reblog <3

NUNGENDER

⭒☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆⭒

a gender that feels connected to nuns. for some that identify with it, it may feel demonic in nature, though that is not needed.

this term was mostly coined with those who have religious trauma who would like to reclaim said trauma, though was also made for those who may have system members/irls (what i call "d/as")/kins who are nuns. anyone may use it though.

Slices of idle rambling reflection done elsewhere:

"[...] a dramatic embellishment of the cosmology of the ever-so-forgotten canon, where the heavens hid away in distanced stasis to save themselves from an unbelieving humanity and left the lesser deities / demons behind. where those both flee as refugees into a liminal fantasy preserve of a simulated distant past, bickering / partying / studying in divisive factions to fuse and forge new identities. where being monsters doesn't have any future amongst other monsters when you're no longer anything more than oblique references, and moving on means finding some purpose in a society of former tales while absorbing any nearby related properties one can get"

"in general touhou has some unconsciously relatable magick in all these fragmented monster filles and too much of the broader fandom thirsts for children instead of identifying with beings inherently both understated freakish outcasts and cute girls. standard nature of being the monstrous other, of course. the child of the gods as a perpetually liminal outsider, the magician recluses who hide in fiction or the replication of the human form, those who revel in always hiding their form, so on and so forth of textual rebuilding or self-destruction"

"one of the most trans touhou characters is the one who ran away from fatherly disapproval, who conducts experiments with drugs in the woods, who doesn't have the same innate touch as everybody else but still honed her own towering rank through sheer persistence and effort, and who constantly tries her hardest to be a comfortable and charismatic number two to an unapproachable and effortless number one. enthusiastic fireworks are clearly better metaphors than flowers or butterflies."

"one of the other most trans touhou characters is the girl who went through a process described as forsaking all connections and forming a new life elsewhere. she's canonically known in her famed historical state as a bearded prince but built a new body herself as a part of resurrection, and she canonically has a wife. she's also a bit bad about being a newcomer who thinks she knows what's best for everyone, but has stepped up to show reasonable responsibility and situation-savvy when she's not busy bickering and putting herself over others."

(note that I'm not declaring headcanons or fantheories or anything here in these posts. "is X, Y" is easily limited in seeking representation- the underlying point is the marginalized finding something relateable in shared impressions and experiences.)

I mean, I'm still closeted to anybody not close to me, my background is Vietnamese, and I'm a mess of a wraith as a person

so this year's still a trans day of invisibility for me more than anything else. there's always next year.
