Genderclay
okay so, a while ago (like, all the way from december 2020) i was sorta flip flopping on if i wanted to identify as genderfluid or not, i felt like it sorta fits me but also like it sorta didnt?
and it got me thinking about the -fluid of genderfluid, about how it implies, well, fluids! like a liquid. it implies a gender that does what it wants and is kinda unpredictable, which doesnt feels quite right for me
and while i was contemplating it i had a realization of oh! what about clay! its pliable instead of fluid! you could shape it and outside influences could also shape it, and so i made this!
[ID. A five striped flag reminiscent of the genderfluid flag. The colors, top to bottom, are dark cream, grey-tinted white, brown, brown-ish dark grey, and reddish brown. End]
Genderclay - a gender similar to genderfluid, but has an element of control to it, more pliable rather than fluid ; a gender that is changeable, moldable, and/or pliable, that you can shape yourself, or be shaped by outside factors
The browns are for clay and the diversity of genderclayness, coming from different colors that clay can look like.
The grey-tinted white can be for clean clays that are factory made, for (gender)clayness that feels "newer", or for (gender)clayness that feels like its still very pliable and never been baked
The brown-ish dark grey can be for natural clays that came directly from the earth, for (gender)clayness that feels "older", or for (gender)clayness that feels like its baked and solid
particularly for genderclays who has a more active role in their moulding of gender(clayness), it also has an element of creation and an element of choice to it, so it could be somewhat placed under CINN (maybe ill make another subset for gclay thats in the same naming convention of other CINN genders)
i got some genderclay subset ideas but no names as of yet, [names] in brackets are not the actual names i just wanted to put something in
gender[claybaked], a subset of genderclay where your gender was once pliable, but now is no longer pliable or its now settled into a firm shape, sorta like baking clay
gender[ ], a subset of genderclay where your gender(clay) is never going to harden/is incapable of hardening, it exists in a forever pliable state, prime for moulding
gender[play-doh], a subset of genderclay where your gender(clay) has a more fun element to it, like the action of moulding it and shaping it is rewarding and/or fun, like play-doh
gender[dirtclay], a subset of genderclay where your gender is more influenced by outside factors or came to be/came from outside influences OR a gender(clay) that feels old and more like it is/it was a part of nature, like dirt clay
