Etymology
[PT: Etymology ./. End PT]
From English, "Revelation", shortened to "Revela". Coined by Gent (Gender-Jargon), June 2024.
The root word "revelation" was chosen based upon the many revelations that occur in the process of self-exploration; becoming informed of that self-exploration is an option, the realization that one desires to explore oneself, the journey one takes when exploring oneself, the things that one learns about oneself while on said journey and what that ultimately means to oneself.
Elaboration
[PT: Elaboration ./. End PT]
Revela is an atrinary, outherine/diastine gender identity. Revela can be considered autonomine, autoine, rahuine and/or quesinine depending on the individual.
For a Revela individual, self-exploration is an essential experience, highly central to one's identity, heavily involved in one's concept of their gender and often a perpetual pursuit. Revela can be used to describe anyone who considers self-exploration to be a gendered experience.
Simply, Revela is a gender about getting to know oneself and all that it entails. Revela is similar to Alithix and Rahugender, but with some differences:
Alithix is about the pursuit of authenticity. Rahugender is about self-actualization. Revela is about self-exploration. All three of these can significantly overlap, but ultimately, each are distinct.
Alithix is about being true to yourself, Rahugender is about becoming one's "best" self and Revela is about finding out who you are.

The pride flag was created at the same time as the term by myself (Gent, GJ, 6/24). The pride flag consists of nine horizontal stripes of the same size. From top to bottom, the stripes are navy blue, indigo, teal, light yellow, grey, light yellow, teal, indigo and navy blue. The colors have the following meanings:
The navy blue stripes represents unknowability, mystery, boundless infinity and questions without answers.
The indigo stripes represents the vast frontier of the unexplored, knowledge that is not yet known and life's secrets.
The teal stripe represents the spirit of investigation, the act of learning, unfamiliarity and personal development.
The light yellow stripes represents burning curiosity, motivation, introspection and the process of questioning oneself.
The grey stripe represents the self.

The pride flag has it's stripes arranged so that the stripe representing oneself is central, with each stripe radiating away from the center symbolizing the journey of self-exploration.
