#northgender

Harold Smiley is gay and northgender, Quentin Frowney is demiromantic and southgender, and the two are in a relationship!

Northgender: Northgender individuals identify with the direction of North and the symbolism it represents, such as infinite possibilities, earth, creativity, and home.

Color meanings: Browns and grays to symbolize earth.

mentioning the google doc here, i got curious and decided to see if i could help with anything. i’m bigender between northgender and southgender, and i have a friend who is bigender for eastgender and westgender. we started identifying as such when we found your doc with these terms a long time ago, and we’ve been collectively calling them compassgenders (as an umbrella term, and also another one of our friends started identifying as compassgender itself too!). thanks for having the doc public btw!

though, looking at the doc again, it’s sad to see none of those have a flag still. so we were thinking, for all the compassgenders (northgender, southgender, eastgender, and westgender) you could have something like the the 5 triangle template on dA, but with the triangles pointing in the gender’s direction. And with colors associated with the element of each direction.

so then northgender can be basically that template but with browns and greys for earth (I guess different shades of brown so that it’s not the same as the template, aha)

southgender is flipped so that the triangles are pointing down, with orange and red for fire

eastgender is pointing to the right, with white and pale/pastel greens for air

westgender is pointing to the left, with blue and purples for water

and then, we were thinking for an overall compassgender flag, it would be something like the 5 square template, but instead of squares, they’re diamonds (or maybe rhombus? not sure what they’re called), that are split into the different colors of north/south/etc. (i made a quick mspaint drawing of what i mean for this submission, since i figured it might be hard to imagine. feel free to adjust the colors according to whatever you go with for the individual compassgenders!)

we also figured there might be a compassfluid involving one or all of these. one of our other friends is questioning but says they’re leaning pretty heavily towards compassfluid. they said they think the most fitting flag would be our compassgender flag, but the four sections of the inner diamond/rhombus has the colors of the genderfluid flag.

we’re really sorry since this is a lot and you all are probably super busy and making other flags. but, we hope this helps cover these compassgenders! thank you for allowing submissions!

That was a challenge but fun! 

Eldrigender:

1) A gender (or possible lack thereof) which is dark, nebulous, and ultimately unknowable. (Derived from “eldritch”) 2) A synonym for Archaicgender

Emigender or Solverigender: Having a loose or weak connection to a gender or certain qualities, but not actually being that gender. Can be combined with relevant genders.

Enigender: A gender that you cannot describe accurately with any words. However, certain pictures/audio/video/etc. can describe it just fine. Basically anything that’s not written or spoken word can describe enigender. It's a really fluid gender that could be described differently from person to person. The coiner hasn't worked out if this can branch out to be -boy and -girl genders, but if so, it'd be a gender indescribable with words aside from the fact that it feels vaguely masculine/feminine. Demi- could also work with it, meaning a gender partially indescribable with words. Relates to the word enigma and the feelings it represents.

Zeogender: When your gender fluctuates massively during a storm—based on Zeus, the king and god of lightning.

Wolandgender: A gender which is experienced only as a response to chronic pain or disability, or a gender experience which is changed, heightened or suppressed due to the experience of chronic pain or disability (intended primarily for use by chronically ill or disabled candidates, but could of course be used by candidates temporarily finding their gender experience altered due to pain).

Worldgender: Having multiple genders with such complex relationships and subgenders that it feels like the genders make up an entire world or planet together, each gender affecting the biomes and other features of this world/planet.

Worlgender or Homgender: A gender that feels connected to earth and its nature. See also: Biogender
