Round 1, Match 73 — Aiaspec vs. Cafegender

I coined fia-/mia-/lia- to make it easier to say things like “women, nonbinary women, partial women, anyone who is woman-aligned/adjacent, or anyone with a FINgender” (the alternative, of course, being “fiaspec & FINgender people”). It seems like “Niagender Spectrum” would essentially be synonymous to (what I’ve been calling) the neutral (gender) spectrum. Same for xiaspec/xeno spec, aiaspec/apora spec, & agiaspec/agen spec.

That said, I do appreciate the uniformity, & their usage could help to differentiate terms by one spectrum being “genders which are [neutral/xenine/aporine/null]” and the other being (more broadly) “genders which are [x], partially [x], or [x]-aligned/adjacent.”

Here are the definitions I’d propose:

Niagender Spectrum / Niaspec: an umbrella term similar to NINgender for anyone on the “neutrally gendered” spectrum; anyone whose gender is neutral, partly neutral, or in some way similar to/resemblant of gender neutrality. Can also be used as a gender identity all on its own.

Xiagender Spectrum / Xiaspec: an umbrella term similar to XINgender for anyone on the “xenogendered” spectrum; it includes all xenogenders, partial xenogenders, and genders which are in some way similar to/resemblant of xeninity. Can also be used as a gender identity all on its own.

Aiagender Spectrum / Aiaspec: an umbrella term similar to AINgender for anyone on the “aporagendered” spectrum; it includes all aporagenders, partial aporagenders, and genders which are in some way similar to/resemblant of aporinity. Can also be used as a gender identity all on its own.
