Gynandrix: Describing a Non-Androgyne individual that finds an androgynous gender attribution befitting and considers it an essential facet of their gender identity.
A sibling term of Mascix and Femix.
Etymology
Gynandrix was created to mirror the paradigm used for Mascix and Femix.
From English, "Gynandr" from "Gynandrous" + "-ix", an neologistic suffix used by other terms in this genus, originally based upon Apathmascix and Apathfemix coined by user Cybertroniancoining. Gynandrix was coined by Gent of Gender-Jargon, 2023.
Elaboration
Gynandrix is a complex and potentially contradictory identity in which one's gender is not Androgyne, but has androgynous traits attributed to them nonetheless, and this attribution is not only considered to be fitting by the individual, but an integral part of their overall gender experience.
More simply, a Gynandrix individual:
Has a gender identity that they consider to be Non-Androgyne.
Has traits of androgyny attributed to them by other individuals.
Considers having traits of androgyny attributed to their person to be agreeable and in a few, multiple or all manners at least part of the time.
Considers this attribution to be an intrinsic part of their experience of their gender as a whole.
A Gynandrix individual is not apathetic to androgynous gender attribution, but instead enjoys, appreciate, entertains, welcomes or otherwise freely accepts androgynous traits being attributed to their person. Furthermore, this attribution is a fundamental aspect of their gender experience.
Flag
The Gynandrix flag was created to match the Mascix and Femix flags. The flag consists of three vertical bars and a central, horizontal bar, forming a tri-color flag with a median line. At the left is the darkest purple, becoming lighter as it moves right. The median stripes is cream in color. The colors have the following meanings:
The plum, purple and lilac stripes represents androgynous gender attribution.
The cream stripe represents not being Androgyne.
The Gynandrix flag was created by Gent of Gender-Jargon in 2023.
Note: Gender attribution is not necessarily based upon one’s expression, but is more frequently an assumption made about an individual’s gender identity without their input. Being an assumption, it is not always correct, good, wanted or warranted. Affirming attributions are congruent with one’s perception of themselves. Incorrect and undesired attributions are incongruent with this perception and are often distressing. Gynandrix should not be used to describe anyone who does not like androgyny being attributed to them, as it would be misdenoting on multiple levels
