#etymid

Etymidentity (EtymIDs) is an umbrella term for identities similar in vein to TransIDs/UnoraIDs. Coined mostly to fill in the ideological gap between the two.

The main thing that sets EtymIDs apart is that there's no specific reason/conditions for being EtymID, other than having a disconnect between one's TPI and SPII. (True Personal Identity, Socially Perceived And/Or Imposed Identity)

Completely pro-transition for oneself and others for any EtymIDs, outside of identities that are centered around nonconsensual harm, or ideologies that promote hate.

-

Made with those who don't want to label identity disconnects while having to fit certain reasons/disclaimers for being that identity, and don't like terms that label specific types of disconnects as inherently harmful/bigoted.

Generally, against labeling identities as inherently harmful and believes only actions and ideologies can be. Also, against labeling identities as "biological" or innate.

"The above points are being misinterpreted. Transfoundationalism includes ANY kind of non-physical transitioning. It counts mental transition to be even small things, such as labeling the identity. It is being against labeling "for fun" applies to completely CisID individuals, such as someone who is natal black that doesn't experience racial dysphoria/euphoria and a racial disconnect labeling themself as Transasian for fun/aesthetics.

Transfoundational highly encourages the usage of the MutoID (DissiID for the opposite) for those kinds of experiences. It does NOT apply to already TransID individuals who fit under the Transfoundational requirements picking up labels for fun (or playing with labels) regarding the identity they experience the disconnect and dysphoria/euphoria for."

Transfoundationalism is an ideology/term for those who believe to be trans one must:

Experience a disconnect between one's perceived identity and one's true identity.

Experiencing dysphoria due to that misidentification and disconnect, and/or experiencing euphoria when exploring one's true identity and being identified as it.

This is made to be a sort of in-between for those whose stances fall outside of Transmedicalism beliefs and Anti-Transmedicalism (or "Tucute") beliefs. Doesn't believe seeking medical/physical transition to be necessary to be Trans, however, does uphold the idea that one should desire (or enact) social transition, mental transition, etc.

Against taking up identities under the Trans umbrella simply "for fun" or appropriating experiences under the guise of aesthetics, when one does not experience the points above.

Someone who believes/follows Transfoundationalism can be called a Transfoundationalist, Transfoun, or Transation. These can be added onto existing terms, such as Transation Transexual.

This is made to fit any general Trans- term; this just uses Transgender discourse stance terminology as a reference. Generally made because sifting through multiple posts of Cis- individuals using the Trans- label "for fun" or for "aesthetics" or straight up using the Trans prefix when one's Cis because "do what you want forever" is becoming increasingly frustrating to see as someone who experiences atypical dysphoria/euphoria and is seeking community with similar beings.

This ideology is also generally AGAINST using the Trans prefix being defined as "wanting to be" when coining and encourages the usage of other terms for that experience. Viewing those who are Trans AS their identity completely, over simply being a modifier.

Edit, 05/18/26: The above points are being misinterpreted. Transfoundationalism includes ANY kind of non-physical transitioning. It counts mental transition to be even small things, such as labeling the identity. It is being against labeling "for fun" applies to completely CisID individuals, such as someone who is natal black that doesn't experience racial dysphoria/euphoria and a racial disconnect labeling themself as Transasian for fun/aesthetics.

Transfoundational highly encourages the usage of the MutoID (DissiID for the opposite) for those kinds of experiences. It does NOT apply to already TransID individuals who fit under the Transfoundational requirements picking up labels for fun (or playing with labels) regarding the identity they experience the disconnect and dysphoria/euphoria for.

Edit 2: This can be considered ideologically in-line with TransID Reason Critical.

Made with the big Trans- terms in mind such as race, abled-ness, age, plurality, species. Other Trans- experiences that are easier to (physically/socially) transition to and/or aren't really socially enforced are under less scrutiny. Pretty much the ones folks like to label as "nonharmful" TransIDs.

Explicitly against Transhateful terms in general being accepted under Transfoundationalism, regardless of intent to transition. Views these identities as inseparable from the ideologies they mirror. For Transharmful and Transharmed, Transfoundationalism accepts transitioning as long as it's consensual and doesn't threaten one's life; supporting Critharmful and Critharmed.

Idenpunk/Identity Punk (or Etympunk, for those who may use EtymIDs) is a punk subculture based around rejecting the social quo requirement of having to label one's identity as Cis/Trans/Tris and the general idea of being able to perceive someone else's identity without them telling you. Idenpunk is radically against profiling others based on their appearance!

Idenpunk is radically accepting of identities regardless of if someone "seems" like they're that identity or not! Generally rejecting the idea of being able to see someone's internal identity by looking at them. (Ex: Gender, Humanity, Profession, etc.)

This includes anyone who doesn't "look like" their identity, is unable to transition, doesn't desire to transition, has transitioned to as close to their identity as possible, and many more cases. This includes gender, orientation, race, age, whatever. Anything. You cannot tell anything about anyone just by looking at them.

Those who are Idenpunk may also extend this viewpoint towards others, and just innately view others as their identities, regardless of their cis/trans modifiers.

This was made with the TransID community in mind but is also inclusive to pretty much anyone who doesn't wish to disclose their transition status or where they are on the cis-trans dichotomy.

Idenpunk, of course, being a punk label is against any hateful behaviors or ideologies. Whether or not one is "actually" of that ideology. Idenpunk supports calling out hateful ideologies being used as aesthetics and talking points of those ideologies that can cause harm.

If you're wondering, EtymID is something I plan on coining in the near future that describes a disconnect between one's TPI and one's SPII. Just felt like including it on here even though I haven't started working on it yet. I just plan on making all the sublabels with it before I post it. Which is quite a few.

TPI: True Personal Identity.

SPII: Socially Perceived and/or Imposed Identity.

Anyways this is something I had in mind while I was writing out Radnonor, and was one of the main reasons I even coined Radnonor in the first place.

Transethnic (left) | Transfoundationalist Transethnic/Transcultural (middle) | Transcultural (right)

Flags for beings/individuals who apply Transfoundationalism to their Transethnic/Diacultural beliefs.

Essentially, a Transethnic being who believes:

One must experience a disconnect between one's perceived ethnic/cultural identity and one's true ethnic/cultural identity.

Be experiencing dysphoria due to that misidentification and disconnect, and/or experiencing euphoria when exploring one's true ethnic/cultural identity and being identified as it.

Does not believe medical/physical transition is required, but does uphold the idea that one should desire (or enact) social transition, mental transition, etc.

Combined Transethnic and Transcultural under one flag, as these two experiences are quite similar and often referred to as the same.

Can be referred to as: Transfoundationalist Transethnic, Transfoundationalist Diaethnic, Transfoundationalist Transcultural, Transfoundationalist Diacultural, Transfoun Transethnic, Transfoun Diaethnic, Transfoun Transcultural, Transfoun Diacultural, Transation Transethnic, Transation Diaethnic, Transation Transcultural, and Transation Diacultural.
