percifem(inine): someone who is comfortable presenting in feminine ways, but only when those around them perceive them as male/nonbinary/non-female - for example, a transmasculine person who is only comfortable presenting in a feminine way when they know they won’t be perceived as a girl.
percimasc(uline): someone who is comfortable presenting in masculine ways, but only when those around them perceive them as female/nonbinary/non-male - for example, a transfeminine person who is only comfortable presenting in a masculine way when they know they won’t be perceived as a boy.
for anon! ‘perci’ comes from ‘perceive’, and masc and fem of course refer to the presentation, with ‘perci’ being a prefix to indicate that the person feels more comfortable knowing how they’ll be perceived before presenting that way.
the small outer stripes represent a sort of ‘buffer’ of masculinity/neutrality and femininity/neutrality placed between the person and others in order to ensure they aren’t seen in gendered ways they’re uncomfortable with, and the pink-to-purple and blue-to-green gradients represent the way the person hopes to be able to comfortably present!
i used transmasc and transfem in the examples of who might like these terms, but they aren’t trans-only!
