Hello gamers, I present to u all Creaturegender/Crittergender

Gender where you feel strongly connected to being/representing as a critter/creature/cryptic Mostly applies to those who don't necessarily feel human, but not necessarily animal either.

Here's the flags stripe meanings (w/ some of the alts). The colors can also represent creatures relating to animals!! The pink can is canine adjacent while the green is feline adjacent :0!!

Alt? terms for it: Crypticgender Creaturegender Crittergender Pronouns can be whatever variation of creature, critter, or cryptic that you feel most comfortable with!! examples could be cryptid/crypticself, etc

Ok alt time :) Feel free to make your own alts btw >:0

also a nonbinary alt!! :D

Here's the twitter thread of this too: https://twitter.com/VOIDTEETH/status/1642001541702860800

Crypticgender

other name: ciphergender

Crypticgender is a gender identity or modifier defined as a gender that, to others or to one's self, is hard to decipher, layered, difficult to explain, etc. In some cases, the person is aware of what gender they are, but other people might not understand or they may simply choose to not explain it further.

It's based around cryptic messages and ciphers, knowing and understanding your gender is like knowing the keyword or original message.

It's not inherently a xenogender or nonbinary, but can be used that way. Simply depends on how and why it's being used.
