Name: Informagender

Informagender is a xenogender where a person may or will become a gender after becoming aware of it or hearing about it. Each gender may

stack/replace each other

stay forever/fade over time

be added on the first time hearing about it/every time

be consciously/unconsciously added

This is different from absorbgender where the person is near people with that gender, as genders can be gained just by hearing about them. Also, there is not necessarily a limit to how many genders will be added. A person will never add a gender they cannot use, e.g. a gender outside of their culture.

Sorry for the delay in responding, anon!

You could still use the genderfluid label - or any label - even if you don't fit the definition in a conventional way. A lot of gender labels can be flexible and the user is the one to define it for themselves. But absorbgender sounds valid too. Microlabels can really help pin down the unique experience someone has with gender, much more than broader terms ever could.

I'm happy you have a term for yourself!

Absorgender/Absorbgender - A gender that absorbs the genders of those around them. When one is around more people, they experience more and more genders which remain until they reach a maximum. At this point they revert to a single base gender, which can be any gender, including agender. For some, this base gender may be different each time

If a certain gender is absorbed more easily than others, one could use the prefixes absor- or absorb- to modify that gender, e.g. absorgirl, absorbnonbinary.

you could be bigender, with one gender being boyflux and the other being one (or more, you could be tri/quint/quadgender/etc) of these:

(a lot of these genders are the same/have similar definitions, so i guess just choose which label you like the best)

Mutogender: A subset of genderfluid; describes when your gender changes depending on your situation.

Ludogender: A gender which has a core, but the individual “tries on” different genders because they are mirroring another individual. A neurodivergent only gender.

Mirrorgender: A gender that changes to fit the people you’re around.

Expecgender / Pivotgender / Swivelgender: A gender which changes depending on who you are around.

Evaisgender / Evainsgender / Locugender: A fluid gender that’s easily influenced by things, thoughts and beings around it, thus it tends to change a lot, even within a single day.

Amorgender / Erogender (or Filkogender, when regarding QPRs): When your gender changes whilst in the presence of an individual to whom you have developed a deep connection for. This could be a romantic attraction, platonic connection, a spiritual affinity or anything similar. For example: An amorboy would identify as male only to someone they felt connected too.

Amicagender: A gender that changes depending on which friend you’re with at the moment.

Aerogender: Where an individual’s gender relies highly on their setting and/or atmosphere, which can be composed of a great number of things (ex. who they’re around, their level of comfort, the temperature, the weather, the time of day/year, etc.) .

Absorgender / Absorbgender: A gender identity that is heavily influenced by the people around someone. For example, an absorgender person would feel more feminine when surrounded by women, or more masculine when surrounded by men. If a particular gender has a stronger influence on a person’s identity, they may choose to use this identity as a prefix (absorboy, absornonbinary, etc).

[image description: a flag with a brown background. three rectangles are overlaid on the flag. the first is yellow, and is in the upper left corner. the second is pink, and is on the bottom left, with a small amount of space between the left border and the rectangle. the third is blue, and extends from the right side, with a small amount of space between it and the top border, and twice as much space between it and the bottom border. the rectangles all overlap, and change colors where they do, so that the pink and yellow create a small orange rectangle, the blue and yellow create a small green one, the pink and blue create a small purple square, and the area where they all overlap creates a small black square]

Color meanings: The colors overlapping and mixing refers to absorgenders taking in the genders around them. The black in the center references how the color black absorbs all colors of light to produce the color black.
