so, hi! i'm epiceneandroid: a tumblr user defined by my identity as an epicene, well, android.

epicene has a lot of meanings, both personal to me and others and dictionary definition. its dictionary definition has a plurality of meanings, including, but not limited to:

-has characteristics of both male and female but is neither gender;

-has characteristics of both masculine and feminine but is neither;

-has both and neither masculine and feminine characteristics;

-has both and neither male and female characteristics;

-genderless or sexless;

-gender indeterminate;

-androgynous;

-gender neutral or neuter;

-unisex;

or a gender like male or female, but is neither.

of course, an epicene person can relate to any, multiple, or even all of those meanings, and still be epicene, and no two epicenes, just like no two women or men, will define their gender the same way.

however, i see my epicenity, as i've grown up over the years, beyond just "has characteristics of both male and female, but is neither" and "gender indeterminate".

think of those gender spectrum charts, like say, a circle. on one end is male, on one end is female, on one end is neutrois, on one end is aporagender, etc...the very center of the circle, in the middle of + having aspects of every gender but not BEING every gender like pangender, is epicene to me, i've discovered.

so it's a gender that has aspects of male, female, androgyne, femache, neutrois, aporagender, maverique, agender, really, countless genders, without being exactly all of those genders and being sort of its own thing. it's kind of like an aporagender that is simultaneously NOT an aporagender. it's kind of a schrodinger's abinary sort of thing, as it has aspects of genders that have nothing to do with binary masculinity/maleness or femininity/femaleness, but also has aspects of genders that HAVE relation to masculinity/maleness and femininity/femaleness at the same time. but, again, it's only ASPECTS of it, not exactly the exact gender. so epicenity is sort of like an abinary/midbinary combination, or a nontrinary gender, on the surface, but moreso...to me, an anonbinary experience.

Demijuxtaneu

A gender is identity where one is partially Juxtaneu, a non-binary gender that is connected, derived from and proximal to epicenity and/or gender-neutrality while being separate and distinct from being Epicene or Neutrois and partially another gender identity or identities.

Etymology

From Latin, “dimedius“, meaning “half” shortened to a prefix of “demi-”” + “juxta”, Latin for “near” or “next to” + “neu”, shorted from Latin, “neutralis”, meaning “neuter”. Juxtaneu was coined by user qxej in 2019. When searching, there did not seem to be an existing flag or coining post for Demijuxtaneu (a Juxtaneu demigender), so I created a flag and post for others to reference if they so choose. Flag and term created by Gent (Gender-Jargon), 2021.

Epingender: genders that are epicene in nature.

I believe that this was created by @gender-resource, but can't remember exactly. I feel I can transcript some of the meanings behind the qualities/qualias associated with such amplex genderness, however this shouldn't delimit what it means to anyone else:

Communal, banal, philosophical/philosophal, abstractional, dirty, impure, supranull/supernull alteruter, obliquitudinal/obliqual, non-divine, liquid, washing, shifting, obscure, enigmatic, unusual, strange, weird, unlithic/nonlithic/alithic or insolite/unsolite/asolite, unaccustomed, misterious, occult, cryptic, archival, otherly, surrounding, reflectional, unreachable.

okay I said I was editing the epicene flag and I posted the edit but as it is i have some other flags that i think would make for good epicene flags. i’m no longer sure which one i really want to use so input would be helpful

for the curious, the colors all have the same meaning on each flag. blue is the predominant favorite color of both men and women, making it symbolic of epicinity. the gray represents the shades of gray between male and female. brown represents people/humanity, since the epicene gender is not unlike being asked “are you a man or a woman?” and answering “I’m a person”. lavender is for the overlap between masculine and feminine. the tan in one of them is because tan is sort of a “neutral” color, and epicinity is a form of gender neutrality. the white stripe in one of them is....idk what it means, really. I know a lot of flags have white stripes to represent inclusiveness so you could see it as being like that. 

irisean: a person who feels most comfortable on the maverique spectrum, but feels a specific connection to femininity.

baryllean: a person who feels most comfortable on the maverique spectrum, but feels a specific connection to masculinity.

serenadean: a person who feels most comfortable on the maverique spectrum, but feels a specific connection to androgyny.

colonellean: a person who feels most comfortable on the maverique spectrum, but feels a specific connection to epicenity.

trillean: a person who feels most comfortable on the maverique spectrum, but is fluid between all these elements/isn't consistent on where on the -ean spectrum of gender they align with on a daily basis/has a generally fluid or pangender/omnine alignment

the name has probably already been coined before but: here is unigender!

unigender is an EPIN (epicene in nature) gender that involves having a gender like man and woman, but being so indeterminate that you’re basically your own thing.

the flag represents, well, being unisex/unigender: white is the blend of male and female gender signifiers without necessarily being ostentatious, brown signifies a middle ground between gender without calling to mind the purple of androgyne, yellow signifies abinary and anonbinary expressions of epicenity and being unigender, and turquoise represents the color blue, which is most of humanity, whether male or female’s, favorite color.

hope you enjoy my gender :)

Moze (a neolingual noun parallel with moza and mozo): a monolexical neolabel parallel with man and woman; the epicene/gender neutral of boy and girl; an abinary genderedness apart from male and female.

Cognate of moce/moçe (deriving moça/moço) and mozze (from mozzo/mozza). Mocidade (mozidad/mozity, mozeness/moceness) means youth. Since cedilla (ç) is often translated as zed/zee (z), as in Moçambique/Mozambique, because of its Visigothic origin (ꝣ).

In West Iberian the suffixes -o/-a do binarized gender inflection, so any other vowel/letter makes a neutralized declension. Just as in Latinx/Latine.

Alternate words: mozx, moz@, mozu, mozy, mozie, mozone, mozãe, mozane, mozæ/mozae, mozœ/mozoe, moz(s), muchache, muchachx.

Note this isn't the same as enby, as enby is an abbreviation of nonbinary. Mozes could refer to generic people, such as in pals, however just as in folx, folks might use moze to be a specific non-binary identity. This identity is asynchronously and conceptually epin/nin/oin/abin/uin.
