Specific Sad Neurogender Flags
💙 ❤ 💚 🤍
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Made for neurodivergents or people who experience depressive episodes. All coined by me.
Melanchoselasic - A Missing Part
A xenogender in which one's gender is connected, related, or influenced by one's depression / depressive episodes, and the feeling of being "incomplete". The crescent moon, part of it hidden by Earth's shadow, is a representation of one who feels incomplete and hidden inside darkness / depression. One may feel as if part of their gender is missing during their depressive episodes, only to reappear during the good days.

The wilted flower, wilted plants, associated with death and the cycle of life. This may feel as if one's grieving process affects their gender.

Melanchomēdén - Numb & Nothing
A xenogender in which one's gender is connected, related, or influenced by one's depression / depressive episodes, and the feeling of nothingness, emptiness, and numbness. The Null Sign, used in mathematics to denoting an empty set, the symbol for nothing. This gender may feel empty, or maybe there's nothing there, or maybe it feels so numb it can't be felt at all. One may feel as if their gender is empty or numb during their depressive episodes, only to fill up and feel again during their good days.
