Pomogender: short for “postmodern”, a way for a person to say that they believe the current vocabulary is not quite complex enough (or diverse enough) to accurately describe their own sense of gender identity.

Hey, here are some ideas for a lacunox/lacunagender flag. Idk if people would like it more or less saturated to give the “nox” vibe. I think the grey one can be lacunagender and the purplish one be lacunox itself.

Lacunox: A gender that the holder knows exactly what their gender is, but they feel existing terms aren’t accurate in describing it for whatever reason, so they use a lot of terms, flip between them often, and/or stick to very broad terminology. A lacunox is questioning, but they’re questioning the language/terminology rather than their gender.

Lacunagender is a coinage of mine to refer to all similar genders to this, lacunox is under lacunagender and does not specify, but there are other lacunagenders that specify a feeling/alignment/gender that they experience to basically say “idk wtf to call myself but I know I’m xenine/masc/fem/etc.” or specify the overall type of terms the lacunagender person uses. I’m making terms and flags for these.

note: these were based on popular internet definitions and is meant to be more of a general starting point than the ultimate guide to this stuff. If anyone feels I got something wrong don’t hesitate to correct me!

What does Unlabeled mean?

Unlabeled is an umbrella term for those who do not want to label their gender or sexuality. They may fit the definition for one or more labels but choose not to use them.

What does Queer mean?

Queer often refers to someone who is not allocishet, or somehow falls outside of society’s norms of gender and sexuality. It is often used as an umbrella term for the entire LGBTQIAP+ community, although some members may not identify with the word queer. Many people with a complex identity use the term to describe themselves more simply.

What do Pomosexual and Pomogender mean?

Pomosexual is a word to describe those who either do not fit existing labels or who reject labels, usually because they cannot describe their sexuality and whom they are/aren’t attracted to.

Pomogender is similar to this, but instead of sexuality, one cannot or is not interested in describing their gender and therefore does not put a label on it.

So, what is the difference?

Queer is usually more of an umbrella term, and can be used by people who, for example, have many labels that cannot be concisely described by any other word. That being said, it can also refer to a person who has no labels but knows they are not allocishet.

Pomosexual/pomogender seem to be characterized by an inability to, or a strong disinterest in, labeling one’s sexuality/gender, so it is unlikely to be used in addition to other labels within the same category.

Unlabeled can be used by someone who fits the definition of pomosexual/gender, or any other pre-existing word, but does not want to use that label anyway, for any reason. Unlabeled people also may not consider themselves to be within the LGBTQIAP+ community, whereas queer people usually do.

I hope this helps!

Pomodali

PT: Pomodali. /End PT

An identity where one denies or does not fit any labels for any particular gender modality (like trans, cis, iso, etc.). Pomodali may also be used by those who may fit into a gender modality but dislike the idea of having to have a specific label, making pomodali an unlabel

It’s similar to pomogender, except it refers to ones gender modality instead of gender identity
