#countergender

So right now, we have an established term, ipsogender, for an intersex person whose gender is the same as their gender assigned at birth.

To my knowledge, there is not an umbrella term for an intersex person whose gender is not the same as their AGAB. Right now we have the established term, ultergender, for an intersex person whose gender isn't their AGAB and doesn't identify as trans, and the category of trans-intersex for those that do.

EDIT: I have been informed by @interarchive that ultergender was coined to be an opposite of ipsogender, and is not actually exclusive of trans people. So the umbrella term is actually ultergender! 💜

I am crossing off the rest of the text of this post to make clear the poll is no longer needed for this purpose. Ty <3

In the world of anatomy, the opposite of ipsi- (same) is contra- (against), which is what to me would be the obvious choice. Unfortunately, the term contragender is already taken. 😭

Here are some options I'm considering, and want feedback on. Sorry Tumblr only lets you vote for up one thing so let me know in the replies if you like multiple, dislike any, etc.

Countergender has a previous coining but from what I can tell it didn't take off? If people are using this way please let me know, right now. It also seems to have limited use in sociology as shorthand for counter-stereotypic gender things. 🤔

Concedogender: When you cannot be defined as questioning because you no longer question, but you never reached a particular identity. You conceded and said “I'm okay with not finding out”.

Conflictgender: A gender that involves the conflict between two or more genders that you can’t place a name to as the genders fluctuate constantly and you may not always feel a certain gender on some days but it’s definitely there.

Confundogender: A gendered feeling that is confusing to the person experiencing it, to the point that they cannot define or explain it.

Contragender: Someone who deeply defies and identifies opposite or against everything or most things that they associate with their assigned gender. Can be combined with relevant genders. For use by trans people only.

Copygender: A fluid gender identity that mimics the gender of someone the person has strong feelings for. See also: Amaregender, Amorgender, Amicagender, Mirrorgender, Ludogender, Reflectigender.

Countergender: Your gender identity changes to balance the gender or perceived gender of whomever you're with at the time.
