#non-conformance

Orientation Variance/Variancy/Nonconforming: not completely/integrally conforming to the societal and cultural ideals or roles of orientation; not being accepted as a member of conformant society due to one’s identity (sexuality/relationship) differing from the one assigned to and expected of them; an umbrella term for orientation identities and expressions that varies/differs the norm.

It’s meant to replace initials like MO and conlangs like unstraight/strain’t & heterodissident. Not to be confused with varioriented. Other labels: variaffectional, variattractional, orientationvariant/orientationvariance, orientationvariancy, orientation inconformist/nonconformist/unconformist, orientation inconformancy/inconformity/nonconformity/nonconformancy, orientation nonconformance/inconformance/unconformance/unconformancy.

Gender Incongruity: characterized by a marked and persistent incongruence between an individual’s experienced gender and the assigned sex; a condition where someone is convinced that their true gender is different (incongruous) from the one indicated by their body or the one that has been assigned to them.

Incongruousness (incongruency) can be contrasted with disconnection as well as dissonance is with dysphoria and variancy with nonconformity/discordance.
