#maverinity

[your-bigender-big-brother]

I'd like to propose a term that might help in the overall discussion of maverinity, but I don't plan on making a flag for it (mostly because I'm a little out of ideas here.)

I propose: Taxic. It's a word that describes non-maverinity. Taxic genders would include man, woman, androgyne, neutrois, and agender. Qualities can also be taxic: Those would include masculine, feminine, neutral, androgynous, agenrine, and I guess technically ambiguous and heteronomous (non-autonomous.)

This term comes from the Greek root taxis meaning "order", "arrangement", or "movement toward something." While maverinity moves away from gendered governance, taxicity moves toward it.

It's used much in the same way as ordinous (and by extension, exordinous.) That means you can't be "demi-taxic" or "taxicfluid" and it's not used to describe people at all. It's simply a word to replace "non-maverine" when talking about maverinity - there are maverine genders and taxic genders; some people experience a maverine quality while others experience a taxic quality.

I found out non-outherine has its own term (tautine) and was inspired to make a similar term! I didn't make it a gender quality (with the -ine ending) but instead, it's just a descriptor. It's similar to gravinous, which means non-neutral.

I FINALLY FOUND A GENDER PRESENTATION TERM THAT I LIKE, YAY!

[PT: I finally found a gender presentation that I like, yay! /End PT.]

Teakettler: Refers to a maverique-presenting individual who, due to the nature of maverinity, is often mistaken as presenting androgynous, masculine, or feminine.

It's so perfect! I've been struggling for a while to find a good presentation term that I connected with. As I've settled more into my maverique identity, I've found that referring to myself as related to the binary in any way is, for lack of better words, icky. I guess that's repulsion? And while I'm certain there must be other maveriques who are fine with presentations that derive from the binary, I'm just not one of those people. My gender experience *is* maverique, including how I express it. Teakettler is also such a nice term because it loops back to affirming my gender identity; I can express myself however I want, and society can perceive it how ever they will, but at the end of the day, I will *always* be maverique.

What is Maverine?

Maverine (also called verine) is a gender quality typically connected to maverique, a gender that is outside of masculine, feminine, male, female, and neutral while having a distinct gendered feeling. As such, its maverine quality exists outside of masculine, feminine, neutral, and null - this is known outherine, but not all maverinities are considered such. Maverinity is tied to personal inner conviction of gender and is therefore autonomous (AUIN.) It lacks gender ambiguity or apathy.

Maverine falls under the qualities of outherine, aporine, and abinarine, but it does not fall under xenity. It is maverine-in-nature, or MVIN/mvingender.

Maverine is not a gender quality that is unorthodox by choice (which is why the main maverine gender - maverique - is “maverick-like”, a key distinction that differentiates it from the more voluntary gendermaverick identity.) Therefore, it is not related to being genderqueer or genderpunk.

Why "Maverinities"?

Taking inspiration from @/theoutherlings, a now deactivated blog that discusses outherinities, I find it valuable to talk about maverinities in the plural. Maverinities make up a galaxy of individual maverine experiences as well as neighboring ones. Maveriquinities are qualities and genders specific to the maverique experience. My goal is to pull the focus away from maverinity as THE quality of maverique and delve into the complexities of maverinity on its own. But maverique is not forgotten here!

dear maverine people & maverique-adjacent people who may identify with maverique but not as maverique,

you will always be welcome on this blog as people who relate to the term. especially because maverique is already so little known that it's currently not that likely to build active spaces around non-maverique maverinity, as maverinity is even less known.

if your gender quality is maverine, if your gender expression is maverine or if you have a gender that makes you relate to maverique but not quite, you belong here.

after all, all of these concepts are related to or based on maverique at least somewhat.

[dysasterism]

I want to get more in-depth about maverinities and just noticed something. The definition of maverique does not include any mention of xenity. It is outherine, which is "not exactly xenine" (not entirely outside of xenity, but doesn't automatically include it either.) I would assume the maverine gender quality, by extension, would be similar in how it's defined by its not-exactly-xenine-ness but xenity isn't mentioned anywhere where I've seen maverique or maverine defined.

So, what is the overall perspective on maverinity in relation to xenity? How do I discuss maverinities with xenity in mind? Can maverine be more inclusive of xenity because of its unorthodox nature, while outherine is more anthrine in nature?

I'm not great at wording things (which is why all my wiki reference pages and my essays take ten years to put together.) I just want to get all the details right.

Maverine Flags

A gender quality relating to Maverinity, similar to Masculine and Feminine. Related to Maverique. Maverine can be used to describe one's gender, one's gender presentation, or both.

Two flags because I couldn't tell if a darker middle stripe was better than a lighter middle stripe (and too avoid too much similarities to existing butch flags)

Based off the Masculine and Feminine flags by Kirbirb

Question For Maveriques (And Others)

So I find that when my gender is maverique, or leaning towards that direction, I have the urge to present that way, but I have a very difficult time imagining what a maverine gender presentation would even look like. It would be a presentation that's not masculine or feminine, but its own thing entirely (and also not genderless or neutral) but I'm not sure what that would look like (and how it would differ from genderless presentation since I'm also genderless.) My question is, what ideas do you have about what a maverine presentation might look like? Cause I'm struggling here.
