(PT: Myceliaric)

A gender umbrella centered around mushrooms, mycelium networks, and fungi. It may feel earthy and natural or eerie and strange, depending on what parts of the umbrella the user latches onto. It could also be purely about the scientific study of fungi, and how fascinating their history and biology is.

Mycerine individuals may feel closely connected to their community, wishing to enter a hivemind-like connection with them similar to a mycelium network. This may impact how they view relationships, but doesn't have to.

Concepts under this umbrella include:

Fungi and the study of mycology

The mystical and strange nature of fungi

Being eerie, offputting, and unknowable

Mycelium networks and interlaced community

Hiveminds

Parasitic fungi and mind control

Bioluminescence

Foraging

Nature aesthetics

The cycle of life and decay

Death as a beautiful opportunity for more life

Finding beauty in the strange and unusual

Someone can relate to some or all of these concepts, or find that other concepts fall under mycerinity for them!

(PT: Terminology)

[ID: A seven striped flag. The top three stripes are spiky, the bottom three are bumpy, and the center stripe is intersected by red cage-like bars. The stripes are maroon, dark red, red, bluish-black, coral, tangerine, and pale yellow. On the left flag, a circle in the center surrounds a golden symbol; a domed birdcage with folded wings in the shape of a heart. END ID.]

Canaric

(PT: Canaric)

A gender umbrella related to the metaphor of a canary in a coal mine. It feels trapped, like a bad omen meant to warn others of danger but never survive itself. It sings songs to soothe the hearts of the ones it holds dear, even when engulfed in the darkness. Maybe the canary is afraid of its fate, maybe it wants to escape the mine and be free. Or maybe it finds purpose in being the first to go when danger arrives, priding itself on saving people over and over again.

You're always the canary, never the miner. You're not the one who's going to make it out of this alive.

Other themes under this umbrella include:

Martyrdom

Fate, especially tragic fates

Impending doom

Entropy, the sense everything will inevitably fall apart

Being trapped, metaphorically or literally

Loss of freedom and autonomy

Sacrificial devotion that both keeps you going and destroys you

Being doomed by the narrative in some way

Time loops, cycles of violence, and other hopeless situations

Pushing through those situations, even when you know what will happen

CANARIN: Canaric-in-nature Canarine: Equivalent to masculine/feminine Canary: Equivalent to man/woman Nestling: Equivalent to boy/girl Canarynes: Term for genders under this umbrella

[ID: A nine-stripe flag with varying patterns. The outer stripes are pinkish-white scallops with a rose pink outline, followed by three wavy stripes of dusty rose, peach, and pale orange. Finally, the center stripe is a scalloped pastel gold with a pale yellow outline and thin stripe down the center. On the left flag, there's a dusty rose heart with pinkish-white wings in the middle. END ID.]

Transangelic/Transholy

(PT: Transangelic/Transholy)

A transID term in which one identifies as or feels they should be angelic and/or holy. This may be due to feeling close to divinity in some way or in having an angelic personality. What being angelic and/or holy entails is up to the user, as is how they choose to/choose not to transition towards it.

Note: This wasn't coined as a radqueer term, but we don't gatekeep. Anyone can use the flag/interact with this post as long as they're respectful.

[ID: Two flags with five vertical stripes, with the middle one being wider than the others. The stripes are colored dark plum, plum, magenta, plum, and dark plum. In the middle of the magenta stripe, there is an orchid pink cube with a deep magenta circle in the middle. On the left flag there is a simplified vintage microphone in the center circle, while the right flag has no symbol. END ID.]

Hosthistrone

(PT: Hosthistrone)

A histrone label related to hosts (e.g. TV show hosts, radio hosts, event hosts, etc.) and having HPD. This could be related to the desire to perform, have an audience, and/or be the center of attention. These people may feel like hosts of their own shows, constantly broadcasting to an invisible audience.

[ID: The first flag is a recolor of the cassgender flag. The four stripes are dark brown, pale yellow, light green, and off-gray. The second is a recolor of the aporagender flag. The five stripes are light bubblegum pink, lavender, pale yellow, lavender, and sky blue. END ID.]

Color adjusted cassgender and aporagender flags! The color schemes didn't read well to my eyes, so I made the stripes more distinct and toned down the brighter shades.

[ID: Two versions of a three stripe flag, one with a symbol and one without. The stripes are a dull bluish-purple, off white, and pale teal. On the left flag is the nonbinary/genderqueer symbol, but the X on top is a simplified snowflake. END ID.]

Nivalline/Snow genderqueer

(PT: Nivalline/Snow genderqueer)

A genderqueer identity that feels complex in the same way a snowflake is. As it develops, it grows out into complex fractals, intricate and unique designs that form a beautiful whole. This identity can come with wintry aesthetics, but it can also stand on its own to describe one's relationship with their genderqueer identity.

[ID: Two five stripe flags. The stripes are light brown, pale gold, cream, pale gold, and light pinkish orange. The second flag is the same, but the colors are slightly faded. END ID.]

Aporathrift

(PT: Aporathrift)

[ID: Two flags, one complex and one simplified. The left is a series of clouds radiating out from the center like flower petals, with two color palettes: Cyan, navy blue, and bluish-purple on the top, and bubblegum pink, gold, and cream on the bottom. The cloud-like line in the middle is white on the top and black on the bottom, which becomes a series of alternating black and white clouds in the center. The center design is a series of concentric circles, which alternate between the two color palettes as they overlap.

The right flag is a simplified version with the same color scheme, the two palettes split at the center. It's composed of four circles, which have black/white outlines between them. END ID]

Spiralline

(PT: Spiralline)

Pronounced spear-ah-lean

Spiralline is an umbrella term with themes of madness, distrusting your senses, unreality, deception, and paradoxes. It has ties to fractals, impossible geometry, mazes, and spiral imagery. This gender may be either terrifying or comforting to the user, but always has an element of fear. This identity may be associated with one's psychotic symptoms, but doesn't have to be.

It feels as though you're losing your mind, unable to tell what's real, but knowing something isn't right. Reality has no meaning, as you can't tell where your perceptions end and the "true" world begins. It may feel like you're a paradox of infinite possibility, each one no more real than the last. You feel like a fractal, spiraling out into endless forms that make you lose yourself in their complexity.
