Rabigender (Small Update)
Hi everyone so im here to present a gender I’ve created based on my life experience and my very complex gender identity! I’ve come up with a good name and reasoning behind it so here it is
RABIGENDER
Rabigender is inherently linked to neurodivergency in some way. It is a gender in which you feel a deep connection to being feral in some ways combined with the intense alienation that being neurodivergent caused you.
This gender experience may also be heavily tied with therianthropy / being otherkin.
Through being neurodivergent, you may of had a much more difficult time understanding the principle of gender and the expectations of gender roles from a young age which could of gotten you in trouble or discriminated against.You may even feel now, as a teen/young adult/adult, that you still fail to grasp the importance of gender and what gender is really supposed to mean.
Following that, it is very common for young neurodivergent people to feel incredibly alienated from their peers and be treated like a pet or even a wild animal.
This only gets worse with bullying when neurodivergent children would feel a connection to animals and play pretends- which lead to even more bullying and mistreatement and being taunted very often.
It’s not an uncommon experience for young neurodivergent people to have felt like their existence was being a circus animal to their peers, being made fun of while being totally unaware that they are basically holding a “Pet status”.
Someone who is rabigender reclaims the experience of being treated in such ways, reclaiming their connection to animals/animalistic interests and also by letting loose and finally accepting to full extent their neurodivergency by indulging fully in their ‘less accepted’ stims or special interests, also indulging in animalistic behavior as a way to freely express themselves.
People who are rabigender have always felt a certain connection to animals or neogenders/neopronouns connected to animals but may have felt that it was much deeper than that. Instead of a gender, they may of felt it was more of an full identity. Something much deeper and related to their life experience and neurodivergency.
With this gender, you reclaim all negative experiences and make them yours to own and be proud of. You may identify as any sexuality you want and use any pronouns you want. Rabigender is an umbrella term for people who feel like just neopronouns doesn’t quite cover their experience of gender.
When identifying as rabigender, you acknowledge the complexity of your gender and the fact there will probably never be a full understanding even from yourself because due to neurodivergency your grasp of gender will never be the same as neurotypical people.
Rabigender is a very complex and intense experience that feels all over the place and even nonsensical to most, hence why it feels nearly characteristic or rabies.
This gender allows you to reclaim all frustration and limits you had to put on yourself and free yourself of having to mask or hide parts of who you are- going fully feral and accepting yourself for who you are with no more care of what others may think.
To sum it up:
You let go of masking, you reclaim your interests, stims, connection to animals, and you give a big fuck you to society!
You may also align/identify with precise animals while still using this gender- for example I am Rabigender Canine Aligned! (Most precisely wolves and dogs).
Go Feral!! Go Rabid!! Lose it!!
You are free with this gender.
Dark red is meant to represent the repression of anger/rage at the ways you have been put down all your life
Light red is meant to represent the feralness you allow yourself now
Grey is for the grey and undefined area of your complex gender experience. Hence the ‘grey area’.
White is to express how this gender is under the nonbinary umbrella!!
The second grey stripe is to represent connection/alignments to precise animals.
Light brown is for freedom
Dark brown is for feeling a more solid and grounded sense of self now that you’ve accepted parts of yourself that were once denied.
