[Image ID: a redesigned Tragender flag by Gent (Gender-Jargon). The flag's stripes are oriented diagonally from the bottom-left corner to the top-right corner. In the top-left and bottom-right corners, there are four stripes of the same width and same previously mentioned orientation. The left corner stripes, from left to right, are blue, green, yellow and white. The right corner stripes from left to right, are dark grey, scarlet red, indigo and purple. The background of the flag is light tan in color. In the middle is an error-barred rhombus, a symbol designated to represent Tragender. ./. End ID]

Etymology

[PT: Etymology ./. End PT]

Likely from Latin, "Trans" modified to "Tra" meaning "Through", "Across" or "Beyond" + "-gender", an Engish neologistic suffix indicating genderedness.

This is speculative, as an official etymology is unknown. Coined by tumblr user siirusblack in July 2014 via MOGAI-Archive (link) [PT: Coined by tumblr user siirusblack in July 2014 via MOGAI-archive (link) ./. End PT].

Originally, the definition was worded as, "a gender that stretches over the whole spectrum/orb-y thing of gender", which I reworded as it is written above.

Elaboration

[PT: Elaboration ./. End PT]

Tragender is an interesting identity in that it doesn't just occupy a given point or function represented on the gender spectrum, but rather the whole spectrum itself.

A Tragender individual is every gender, no gender, every combination or derivation of any and all genders, being all identities available to them as well as anything and everything beyond and between. The limitless nature of Tragender could be described as total, complete, comprehensive and/or absolute in nature, which could be collectively referred to as a Totingender, or a as a gender that is Totaline-in-nature (TOTIN). This gender occupies all available gender arities.

I decided to use an vertically error-barred rhombus to represent Tragender, as the gender spectrum is frequently represented using a diamond. The error bars extend from the diamond at the top and bottom to represent encompassing the entirety of the gender spectrum.

Pride Flag

This is a redesign of the flag I previous created for Tragender on my old blog, Gender-Resource (terminated). My original flag was based off of the Tragender pride flag design by tumblr user Genderqueer-Dream in May 2019 (link) [PT: My original flag was based off of the Tragender pride flag design by tumblr user Genderqueer-Dreram in May 2019 (link) ./. End PT]. My first Tragender flag was near-identical to the one created by Genderqueer-Dream, with the only difference being that the second-to-last, sectioned multi-color stripe was removed for the simplicity of replication.

The redesigned flag (of a redesigned flag) in this post was created by Gent (Gender-Jargon) in June 2024. This flag's stripes are oriented diagonally from the bottom-left corner to the top-right corner. In the top-left and bottom-right corner, there are four stripes of the same width and same orientation. The left corner stripes, from left to right, are blue, green, yellow and white. The right corner stripes from left to right are dark grey, scarlet red, indigo and purple. The background of the flag is light tan in color. In the middle is the Tragender symbol, an vertically error-barred rhombus.

My previous Tragender pride flag lacked stated symbolism, as the flag it was based upon did not have a stated significance of design. This new, redesigned flag, however, has means assign to it's imagery. The components of the pride flag have the following meaning:

The light tan background of the flag represents the gender spectrum.

The colors blue, green, yellow, white dark grey, scarlet red, indigo and purple represent the diversity of one's accessible gender experience.
