This term is exclusive to those who experience delusions!
☆ Incongrudelusic is a neurogender and subset of delusogender describing individuals who have a confusing, "contradictory" or otherwise difficult to explain gender identity due to their delusions.
☆ Some examples could include: both identifying and not identifying with a certain term at the same time (similar to paradoxigender); having "contradictory" states of gender identity that are both true simultaneously due to double-bookkeeping; having a gender that changes related to psychosis/delusional episodes making it difficult to properly label or describe their identity. Anyone who feels as if delusions affect their gender in some way can use this term, these are just some examples and not an exhaustive list!
☆ Little scared of the discourse surrounding IRLs/DAs/whatever other words so I'm hesitant to outright specify if this term includes IRLs/DAs/whatever by default. It's for "people who experience delusions". If you experience delusions of being a fictional character and you feel incongrudelusic fits your experiences, go right ahead. Use it as long as you experience delusions and you think it fits.
☆ Came up with the name for the term and its definition today (27th of September), but I've had the idea for much longer than I've had a word for it. I just mashed together the word incongruent with the suffix -delusic which I've already seen used for delusion related genders. I considered "paradelusic" (paradox + delusic) but was worried the para- prefix wouldn't be clear enough on its own.
☆ I made the flag yesterday (the 26th). A LOT OF THOUGHT WENT INTO THE FLAG. Okay. The colours were chosen because I was finding stability was often associated with the colour blue? Meaning the contrasting colour of orange would therefore be instability. Which is exactly what's happening, your delusions are causing confusion or difficulty in trying to quantify your identity. Orange was also described as being (one of) the most eye-catching colours to human eyes which was perfect when I wanted attention brought to the square in the centre.
☆ The shapes were meant to evoke "square peg in a round hole" imagery. Two circle pegs in circle holes to tie into the same idea again of everything else being put together and making sense, it's just your delusions causing difficulties and making things complicated or not fit right anymore (the square peg, orange to further the "it's different to everything else" metaphor).
☆ I won't lie. I've talked myself into so many rabbitholes of "I know X must be true but also X must be false. But it can't be false because I know it's true. But it isn't true because I know it's false". I wanted a term for my experience somewhere and if nothing else I can now point to this to explain how I'm both "definitely a man who must be perceived as one" but also "not at all a man nor am I comfortable being perceived as one". I'm tired of trying to solve the contradiction and figured going broad might help someone else in a similar boat find a term to use for themselves!
