Shapeshiftergender / Shapeshiftian
[Pronunciation for screen readers: Shape shifter gender, or, Shape shift ee in]
Coining date: February 3, 2022
Definition: A gender that is influenced by the concept of shape-shifters and shape-shifting, whether due to a personal connection to the concept or due to being a shape-shifter yourself.
Type of gender: Any type! I imagine that most beings that would identify with this term probably have fluid genders, but it’s not required to identify as this. Same thing with xenic genders. This identity can be used as a modifier or as a stand-alone label.
Inclusivity: Anyone can use this term! You don’t need to be xeno-gender or genderfluid or alter-human or non-human or whatever else. Please do not gate-keep this term, it was specifically designed to be as inclusive as possible.
Examples, flag color symbolism, and boundaries for using this flag and label are below the cut.
A (non-exhaustive) list of examples:
A trans man with a shape-shifting alter-human identity that has an impact on his gender.
A genderfluid person who feels connected to shape-shifting as a concept because of their genderfluidity.
A xenic person whose identity is best explained through the metaphor of shape-shifting.
A plural system member who is part of a species of shape-shifters or can change form in headspace.
Flag color meanings:
Purple—Connection to the fantastical, otherworldly, and unknown
Blue—Fluidity of form
White—Solidarity and inclusivity of identity
Orange-yellow—Freedom and joy
Red—Sense of adventure and defiance of norms
Boundaries for using this flag and label
What I am okay with you doing:
Using this label and flag regardless of our differences in opinion and belief
Making alternative flags, additional symbols, etc as long as you credit me for the term in some way
Creating more specific labels or flags that use this label as an umbrella term
Using my flag and label in writing, art, profile pictures, etc without credit. Just please direct others to this coining post if they ask about the official definition or the label’s origins
What I am NOT okay with you doing:
Attempting to redefine this label to exclude anybody, especially if you use my flag
Posting this label or flag in any archive without crediting me
Claiming that you were the original coiner or designer
What I would really prefer you didn’t do:
Redesigning the flag specifically because of a difference in position, opinion, or belief (e.g. “Here’s an alternative version of the shapeshiftian flag for people who don’t like that the coiner supports m-spec gays and lesbians”)
Obviously, I can’t actually stop you from doing these things. So consider this a polite request to please just respect my boundaries here.
hi! i caught a black footed yellow sac spider the other day (couldnt get a good picture due to the container, but i am sure that thats what it was). just thought id share! theyre neat little spiders
They are neat! I love them. And all yellow sac spiders. I get them in my apartment frequently. Let’s admire one!!
🥭 my opinion on Starclan is that its stupid and ruins a lot of what made the first arc so cool. It started out fine and then snowballed into ridiculous territory, and it would be better if it stayed ambiguous and vague
🍇I think the med cat code is as self-destructive as the warrior code itself, and in the books the only thing its done is shame female medicine cats who didnt do anything wrong (and then presenting it as though they disserved it)
❄my least favourite ship that people like is either bramble x squirrel, thistle x snow, or ash x bramble
Thanks for asking!! I hope the shipping questions dont piss anyone off lmao, i dont hold anything against anyone who doesnt agree with me
