🌈✡️ : JEWGENDER

This flag is DIRECTLY referenced/inspired by @gendertreyf 's flags for the Jewish cultural genders/sexes, please also support his lovely original work!

Image IDs in alt text!

Jewgender is a Jewish culturally-exclusive xenogender, meaning you may only use this term/flag if you are Jewish (inclusive of patrilineal Jews, secular, converts, etc - a Jew is a Jew!). Credit for use of the flag in pfps, banners, etc is appreciated but not necessary. Please credit back to this post if you make edits of or take inspiration from this flag! Goyim/non-Jews may interact and share, but please do not use or clown in the reblogs/replies. Someone who identifies as Jewgender may do so for any number of reasons, Including but not limited to:

Feeling connected to one or more of the eight genders/sexes listed in the Talmud, including both adam and hamah. Someone who identifies with multiple of the listed sexes/genders may do so due to gender fluidity, intersex identity, or other personal experiences.

Feeling connected to Jewishness itself: be it culture, religion and/or secularism, social justice, history, etc. This gender indicates a deep tie to Jewishness at your core, inherently intertwining itself with your gender and the way you carry yourself through the world.

As a punk/alternative gender - to piss off transphobes, goyim, etc.

All of the above, or another reason entirely. Again, a Jew is a Jew!

Versions of the flag listed above include the standard blank flag, the stripes and their meanings (again - these were directly referenced from the aforementioned flags!), an alternative flag that include "b'tzelem elohim" and "tzedek tirdof", and a Bundist /Jewish Labor Bund Jewgender flag.

in order from top->bottom and left->right:

zachar, ay'lonit, nekevah tumtum, androgynos, saris

under the cut i'll provide more information on these identities and their place in judaism, including what makes a person one of these genders.

goyim are ok to reblog this if you want to share it with jewish people, but if you start messing around with these or try to give any commentary on it i will fuck your whole life

zachar is roughly equivalent to "male," and nekevah is to "female." tumtum is neither, lacking identifying gendered characteristics, and androgynos is both, having characteristics of both a zachar and a nekevah. ay'lonit is someone who was identified a nekevah a birth, but later gained traits associated with a zachar, and saris was identified a zachar at birth and later gained a nekevah's traits.

these are jewish genders/sexes, described in jewish religious & legal texts. they can be "hamah," through natural development, or "adam," through human intervention, e.g. a "saris adam" could be assigned male at birth but transition later in life, while a "saris hamah" was assigned male but later naturally developed sex characteristics commonly associated with someone assigned female. so, in short, just like how many conceive of "male" and "female" as something you can be born into or transition into, you can be born into or transition into these genders. you can also have your gender change due to an unintentional injury to the hormone regulators/producers that causes a change in the way your body operates.

they are of a physical nature rather than a more internal one: while they contain transgender experience as well as intersex experience, they depend upon your physicality, as noted above, and serve a legal purpose: you can walk into a congregation and tell a rabbi you're tumtum, and the expectations of your halachic practice in that congregation may change. in slightly older parlance you might associate the "adam" side of these experiences more with "transsexual" than "transgender," if you had to make a comparison.

and on that note: they are not the same as and do not smoothly translate into the LGBT community's standard terms and definitions surrounding sex & trans and nonbinary identity, and are exclusive to the cultural context of judaism.
