epicene for anon!

Dan Hibiki from the Street Fighter series is intersex, pxngenderflux (link), epicene (link), and autigender (link), and his variations are Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and Simple-Virilizing Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (SV-CAH) with hyperandrogenism, androgenic alopecia, clitoromegaly, and a shallow vagina! He also has estrogen-sensitive seizures, insulin resistance, hypoglycemia, abdominal obesity, and exercise intolerance— the lattermost of which he's tailored his fighting style around... and he's also autistic, of course.

Intersex flag-only edits under the cut!

Asteresque flags with gender symbols added!

A gender that fluctuates between gender neutral (or epicene) and androgyne. It is based off of neutrangi, a gender between gender neutral and androgyne. For example, one may feel:

- 60% gender neutral and 40% androgyne.

- 20% gender neutral and 80% androgyne.

- 45% gender neutral and 55% androgyne.

A gender referring to a neutrangi (gender between gender neutral [or epicene] and androgyne) whose components are fluid and fluctuate. For instance, one may feel gender neutral one time and androgyne another, but also feel mostly androgyne and partially gender neutral at other times, and vice versa, and so on and so forth. They also might feel some genderlessness/agender at times, whether it be one of the aspects at a time or both simultaneously (neutrangi).

Gender identities, once again! (I told you I had a lot of these. I'm not even done.) From top to bottom, today's friends are:

Enigender

Epicene

Faegender

Fluidflux

Gender Apathetic

Gender Neutral

Genderfae

Genderfaun

Gendervague

Graygender

presenting: time period (90s) accurate yiik gender and sexuality headcanons, helped out by my alex facet and my rory alter. thank you, alex and rory, for giving me your own gender and orientation identities for this :) i appreciate it.

from top to bottom: alex is a genderqueer pomosexual (because of course, the protagonist of a postmodern rpg is pomosexual for Alex Typical Reasons; my alex facet considers themselves above sexuality in a typical cisnormative heteronormative way, as typical for how pretentious they are...they're very mad at me for saying that and feel sensitive about how Smart their liberal arts english major philosophy minor made them feel), michael kucinski is a gay man, vella wilde is a bigender bisexual trans woman (there are both male and female soul survivors in her mind dungeon and vella wanting to leave her body and discard it for a new one while still having male and female parts in her mind feels very...bigender trans woman), rory is a pansexual epicene (rory is canonically pansexual, and pansexual was an identity that's surprisingly been around in it's modern inception since the late 70s; my rory alter said although they'd describe themselves in modern terms as a demiboy demigirl demiproxvir demijuxera enby, they'd describe themselves in 90s terms as epicene in the "indeterminate gender" sense, which is why they were bullied so much and why they believe carrie was bullied; because they openly identified as epicene in the 90s before shoving that away in their head, and people bullied them and carrie in school because "your 'brother' is a freak"), claudio is a pangender pansexual (though i can also see claudio being pangender and gay as in "all genders and gay for all genders"; something about either headcanon just makes sense to me), chondra is a stem lesbian and identifies as stem as her gender identity (ze uses she/ze (as in ze/hir feinberg style) pronouns interchangeably, she when she leans more on the fem side of her identity and ze when ze leans on the stud side of hir identity, so kind of a genderfluid thing except with stud and fem, which from research i've done in the black community seems to be almost separate lesbian exclusive and occasionally bisexual used gender identities), and asuka furutani is a femme bisexual and identifies as femme as her gender identity.

i will do queer headcanons for semi/sammy, essentia, jocasta, william/wilfrid/the perfume king, the handsome krow, various semi/sammy/vella/essentia past lives, and carrie/nameless child later! enjoy my 90s accurate headcanons :)

Trinteri: a gender amidst the Gender Trinary; a gender that is centered in the middle of the Male-Female-Neutrois trinary.

Etymology

[PT: Etymology ./. End ID]

From Latin, "Tri-", a prefix meaning "Three" + "Inter" meaning "Between" + "-i", an English neologistic suffix indicating genderness. Literally "between the three". Coined by Gent (Gender-Jargon) (link) in March 2024.

Elaboration

[PT: Elaboration ./. End ID]

Trinteri was created as a result of this post (link) by @your-bigender-big-brother (link). The post posed the question, "what gender quality is right in the center of the trinary?". Most replied, including myself, neutrangity, while others cited epicenity or neutrœmmity, but the more I thought about it, the more I began to feel like these suggested designations were only approximate and didn't quite get to the root of the question.

As Stormy said emself in eir essay (link) ey wrote, the Gender Trinary contains qualities aside from masculinity, femininity and androgyny. Aside from these three, some others are effeminacy, femmulinity, epicenity, neutrommity, neutremmity, neutrœmmity, gynxemity, androxulinity, gyndroxity, neutrangity, tomboyishness and janegirlishness, to name a couple. This got me thinking, which lead me to coin Trinteri as a centrigender that includes the entire Gender Trinary.

Here is the graphic that Stormy included with eir question, which I edited to add Trinteri in the center for reference:

[Image Id: a graphical representation of the Gender Trinary. It is a down-pointing triangle with the left corner labeled "masculine", the right corner labeled "feminine" and the downward-facing point labeled "neutral". Between masculine and feminine, feminine and neutral and masculine and neutral are double-pointing arrows. In the left corner, there is a point labeled "Man". In the right corner, there is a point labeled "Woman". In the downward-facing point, there is a point labeled "Neutrois". Between "Man" and "Woman" is a point labeled "Androgyne". Between "Neutrois" and "Man" is a point labeled "Neutromme". Between "Neutrois" and "Woman" is a point labeled "Neutremme". In the very center, circled and pointed to by a large arrow is a point labeled "Trinteri", which is located at the very center of the diagram. ./. End ID]

I propose the term trinterinity to refer to the quality of gender that is located in the very center of the Gender Trinary. I would be very interested to hear about Stormy's thoughts on this post to see if ey agree, if I missed the mark or if ey have any other kind of feedback for me.

Trinteri is can be considered a midtrinary aporagender. Trinteri is:

a single, specific non-binary identity.

located in the very center of the Gender Trinary of Male-Female-Neutrois.

a centrigender of all trinary gender qualities.

Trinteri is quite similar to, but distinct from Neutrangi, Neutrœmme and Epicene:

[PT: Trinteri is quite similar to, but distinct from Neutrangi, Neutroemme and Epicene: ./. End PT]

Neutrangi

[PT: Neutrangi ./. End PT]

Neutrangi and Trinteri are both in between Male, Female (rationalized as Androgyne) and Gender-Neutral, but Trinteri is also centered/in between all other trinary genders.

Neutrœmme

[PT: Neutroemme ./. End PT]

Neutrœmme and Trinteri are both in between Male, Female (rationalized as Femache) and Gender-Neutral, but is also centered/in between all other trinary genders.

Epicene

[PT: Epicene ./. End ID]

Epicene is a gender related to Male-Female indeterminance, having characteristics of both Maleness and Femaleness and/or having no characteristics indicative of Maleness or Femaleness. Epicene is a relatively complicated identity, as it can be considered masculine, feminine, androgynous, neutral and a sort of genderless all-in-one.

Both Trinteri and Epicene encompass experiences of masculinity, femininity, androgyny and neutrality, but Trinteri involves all other trinary identities as well. Trinteri is explicitly a centrigender, where as Epicene is generally considered not to be. Epicene is definitively indeterminate with regards to the Male-Female binary, but Trinteri may or may not be indeterminate in it's nature.

Pride Flag

[PT: Pride Flag ./. End PT]

The Trinteri pride flag was created by the coiner at the same time of the term (Gent, GJ, 3/24). The flag consists of three down-pointing chevrons of the same size, with negative space above, between chevrons and to the left and right bottom corner of the flag. The top negative space is very light green. The left-botton negative space is very light pink. The right-bottom negative space is very light blue. The chevrons from top to bottom are indigo, grey and teal with very light grey in between. The colors have the following meanings:

The very light-green negative space represents neutrinity.

The very light-pink negative space represents femininity.

The very light-blue negative space represents masculinity.

The purple chevron represents androgyny.

The grey chevron represents neutremmity.

The teal chevron represents neutrommity.

The very light grey negative space between the chevrons represents the center of the Gender Trinary.
