Coexta is an abinary, fluctuating neogender defined by vagueness and inconsistency. Coexta can fluctuate from rejecting gender entirely, fitting within the concept but not engaging with it, feeling partially gendered, and fully gendered, but in a vague, undefinable way.
I wanted to redo coexta, to clarify the definition and differentiate it from other terms. The previous definition is as follows:
âA coexta person has a vague, inconsistent relationship with gender. They sometimes feel like gender does not apply to them at all; Other times they feel they may have a gender, but cannot describe what gender they are experiencing. A coexta personâs gender never feels masculine, feminine, or strongly aligned in any way, and as a result is difficult if not impossible to describe accurately.
This differs from terms like demigender and polyagender, because the person fluctuates on the idea of gender itself, not necessarily genderlessness. â - The coexta coining post.
Usage: âCoextaâ is can be used as an adjective or a noun. You could say âA coexta person,â or âA coexta.â
Name: The term coexta is a combination of the word extant and the prefix co. âExtantâ meaning existing, and âco-â meaning with. This could be interpreted two ways: A coexta person exists with gender by experiencing it, or by existing next to gender itself.
Flags: The greys represent degrees of feeling or relating to gender, as well as the in-between, foggy experience of being coexta. Yellow represents abinary gender. The stripes were made vertical following the theme of standing next to gender, although I made a horizontal version alt. The five stripe flag has the same meanings, just in a more basic pride flag format.
Pupyzu also made an alternate coexta flag here!
