Crossnominal
[pt] Crossnominal [/pt]
"Crossnominal: the phenomenon of having a name that does not traditionally align with one’s gender identity. Also called Crossnomial.
From English, “Cross” meaning “to transverse from one side to another” + “-nominal”, a suffix used to refer to names or the process of naming. Coined by Gent (Gender-Resource), 2021.
The crossnominal flag was created at the same time as the term by the coiner, which is myself. Flag by Gent (Gender-Resource), 2021. The flag consists of five horizontal stripes of the same size. From top to bottom, the stripes are jade green, burnt orange, white, lavender and strawberry red. The stripes have the following meanings:
The jade stripe represents women and females who use a name that is typically associated with males and/or masculinity in their culture.
The orange stripe represents men and males who use a name that is typically associated with females and/or femininity in their culture.
The white stripe represents the acknowledgment that names and their assigned gender are a social construction, therefore meaning that any assignment of gender to a name is ultimately arbitrary.
The lavender stripe represents non-binary individuals with names that are distinctly associated with males and/or masculinity in their culture.
The strawberry red stripe represents non-binary individuals with names that are distinctly associated with females and/or femininity in their culture."
