Clastogender: Often under the agender umbrella, and possibly under the syngender umbrella, “clastogender” is a description that can be applied to one having an experience of destroying or having destroyed their gender.

Dialegender: Often under the genderfluid and hyperfluid, a dialegender can be a gender Identity involving the experience of a gender that responds to and enacts change upon its environment in a dialectical loop. For example, a baseline gender might have a need that it projects onto the universe. That need might inform action such that the gender actualizes in the world in the same way by doing (i.e. a “gender event” occurs). The process of integrating the event then might take place as a dialegender being might make sense of that event in relation to their own personal narrative before their gender might evolve to be more expansive than what it was before, only to engage in the whole process of inquiry and dialectic again.

Artegender: Formerly referred to as “Anthropaesthetigender” and under the xenoporogender (that is, xenogenders with very specific non-binary alignments) umbrella “Artegender” is an umbrella term that refers to xenogender identities that can very strongly correspond with artifacts or concepts originating from cultural production. For example, “Artegenders” can refer to identities under the religiogender umbrella (e.g. catholicgender, gendermystic, pagangender, islamogender, gendernaut, etc.), under the Artgender umbrella (e.g. filmgender, dancegender, literaturegender), under the stylegender umbrella (e.g. casualgender, chichgender, gothgender, kawaiigender) among many others.

Quantigender: Under the Entheogender umbrella, a quantigender is a gender that is an earthly transmutation originating in a conscious awareness of dimensions of reality typically separate from any of the perceptions of everyday life. Examples of skills essential to have experiences beyond what can be described as typical, include expertise in hard sciences, mystical practice, or any other skill one has developed sufficiently to be able to experience a fully focused state of immersion and flow, from acrobatics to knitting. It is through the mental state of clarity, equanimity, and unwavering focus that one can begin to release one’s grasp of one’s physical body, and begin to identify more with one’s subtle energetic body, before, in turn, letting go of the subtle body before ultimately coming to identify with the multiverse, Omega Point, or Cosmic Consciousness as whole. It is in these super-dimensional travels and in subsequent dimensions, that the origins of earthly quantigenders can be mapped.

Demihypercryptofae: Often under the respective demigender, hypergender, cryptogender, and faegender umbrellas,  “demihypercryptofae” might refer to a partial (demi-) though particularly qualitatively intense (hyper-) alignment to a gender that cannot be known using typical linguistic constructs (crypto-),  that is, at least in large part, related to any of the identities outside of spectrums of masculinity (fae-).

Dreamgender: Often identifiable under the xenogender (not defined in relationship to men/women), and aporogender (specific, as opposed to non-specific, gender alignments) umbrellas, and often situated on a spectrum opposite nightmaregender, “dreamgender” can refer to a gender that is strongly aligned with the state, experience, effects, discussions, implications, requisite conditions, and/or anything else having to do with dreams. *Note that despite much controversy around the issue, both “dreamgender” and “nightmaregender” can fall under either the artegender umbrella or the physiogender umbrella, meaning that it can describe both experiences that are strongly aligned with the dreams as human artifacts and with dreams as a natural phenomena.

Abditusgender or Sectiogender: When you have a general idea of what your gender is but feel that it's still hiding important factors from you, or that it's slowly revealing itself to you but continues to keep some of itself hidden and you don't know how to bring it about.

Adeptogender: When your state of gender was obtained through your realization of your kinself, as in, your kin realization spurred your gender realization. (note: the gender and kin type do not necessarily have to correlate with each other)

Algiagender: Having a gender which changes depending on your pain levels or type of pain you're feeling. Only for those with chronic pain.

Aliegender or Aliengender: A gender that is an interpretation of a gender or genders, from a nonhuman perspective. may or may not like to fit into a gender and adopt a gender, but in a sort of ‘alien trying out foreign species’s gender’ way. Can be combined with relevant genders.

Antegender: A protean gender which has the potential to be anything, but is formless and motionless, and, therefore, does not manifest as any particular gender.

Apsconsugender: A gender identity that is a process of elimination. What it is--is unknown, but the person is able to define what it isn’t. A gender where you know what it isn’t, but not what it is. like the gender is hiding itself from you. From the latin word absconsus, meaning hidden, secret, concealed, unknown.

Archaigender: A gender that is ancient/old and big, and can either only be described with those words, or is correlated to them. Can be changed into archaiboy/girl/nonbinary/other.

Trying this out to see what works best. For now I’mma put 10 terms per post and queue maybe 2-4 times a day. If that’s too overwhelming for anyone then send an ask and we can make it smaller! All these terms are in the docs as well

If any of you know if there’s flags for any of these already, please send a link to it so we can add it to the gallery! And if you know who coined it so we can properly credit them (and that includes if it was anonymously posted or the blog deactivated).

Antegender pride flag idea!
