definition from here! there are flags for subsets of this term, but not for the basic term, and i needed one for a request, so here it is. it's the same format as the subset flags with the center stripe being a sort of parchment-y color!

flag id: a flag with 5 stripes. in order, they are very light grey, off-white, cream, off-white, and very light grey. end id.

A gender that feels thin and fragile/rippable and smooth like a blank piece of paper. I don't have an idea for a flag but I imagine white and grey in there somewhere!

Paperboy - A male gender that feels thin, fragile/rippable, and smooth like blank piece of paper.

Papergirl - A female gender that feels thin, fragile/rippable, and smooth like a blank piece of paper.

Paperenby - A nonbinary gender that feels thin, fragile/rippable, and smooth like a piece of paper.

Look, I’m pretty open minded. Trans? Okay. Demigirl/boy? Alright. Non-binary? Sure. Genderfluid? Yes, that one’s cool too. Cis? I don’t see why not. Variations of boy/girl/both/neither make perfect sense to me.

But I found a post today talking about “Papergender” and “Ultragender” (which is basically a superiority complex), and even “Vapogender” was on the Tumblr list of “official” sexualities and genders.

I’m sorry to say that you cannot identify as an inanimate object, and that it is making people with actual gender identities get less respect from other people because your made-up gender is making dumbasses think it’s all made up.

“Cannot” isn’t exactly the word I was looking for because obviously you can identify however the fuck you want. “Shouldn’t” would probably be a better term. I’m just tired of people saying they feel like paper or vapor or attack helicopters because that is literally the joke against “more than 2 genders”.
