#pyrofluid

all these genders can be made masculine by adding -boy/-man/-masc to the end

Feugender: When what your gender is depends on the weather: only having/feeling a gender when it is warm. Comes from the word feu’. French for fire.

Firegender: A fluid gender in a constant state of change that never truly extinguishes. Aesthetically linked to fire as a visual metaphor or symbol.Can be combined with relevant genders.

Flaregender: A gender that evolves from a connection to heat or fire.

Flamarian: A gender tied deeply to fire.

Pyrogender: A gender that feels like fire! Pyrogender holds a much stronger aesthetic connection with fire than firegender. Not just the movement of the fire (as with firegender), but also the heat of the fire (excitement/happiness about the gender) and consumption of fuel to keep it burning (eating up other genders to keep the main one going, in a way).Further clarification: If someone feels something else instead of happiness, like anger or conviction, while still thinking of their gender as a flame, they can still identify as pyrogender! Also admittedly the part about the gender consuming other, like fire consumes fuel, may not always apply to everyone. The main thing is feeling like your gender is a fire, and feeling something about it.

Pyrofluid: A gender defined by a strong fire aesthetic, like pyrogender, but in this case a person can change between feeling “warm” and feeling “cold” about their gender. A pyrogender person always “feels warm” about the gender, it may just dwindle but never extinguish. Pyrofluid people can “feel cold”, and when that happens it doesn’t necessarily mean that they’ll be agender or on the agender spectrum. It may just mean that they end up feeling apathetic about their gender, not wanting to think about it.

Southgender: Southgender individuals identify with the direction of South and the symbolism it represents, such as fire, energy, physical strength, and health.

Dolchechaufgender: A gender that feels like candlelight, soft, and warm. Sometimes “flickering”. Can also be used as Dolchechaufgirl, Dolchechaufboy, etc. The name was inspired by the Italian word for soft, and the French word for warm!

Calidboyfleck: A gender that is not male, female, or nonbinary but exists.  Has a solid core and a non-solid (but not liquid or gas) surrounding and is warm.  Has flecks of male or male-aligned gender(s) throughout.

Pyrofluid: A gender defined by a strong fire aesthetic, like pyrogender, but in this case a person can change between feeling “warm” and feeling “cold” about their gender. A pyrogender person always "feels warm" about the gender, it may just dwindle but never extinguish. Pyrofluid people can “feel cold”, and when that happens it doesn’t necessarily mean that they’ll be agender or on the agender spectrum. It may just mean that they end up feeling apathetic about their gender, not wanting to think about it.

Color meanings: FIRE

Hello, I would like to share my term, pyrogender! I know there is already a firegender in the gallery, but personally I have found it doesn’t fit me. This is because firegender only uses fire as a metaphor for how the gender changes.

With pyrogender, it feels more like fire! A much stronger asthetic connection. Not just the movement of the fire (as with firegender), but also the heat of the fire (excitement/happiness about the gender) and consumption of fuel to keep it burning (eating up other genders to keep the main one going, in a way).

I want to claim scrap 65 for this term, please. I would also like to claim scrap 66 as pyrofluid. For this term, it still has a strong fire asthetic like pyrogender, but in this case a person can change between feeling “warm” and feeling “cold” about their gender. Pyrogender always feels warm about the gender, it may just dwindle but never extinguish. Pyrofluid can feel cold, and when that happens it doesn’t necessarily mean that they’ll be agender/etc. It may just mean that they end up feeling apathetic about their gender, not wanting to think about it.

Thank you so mu ch for providing a safe space for people like me! I really appreciate it!

I hope that’s alright!

And, if you can, please let us know if a pyrogender or pyrofluid person has to fulfill all of those conditions to identify as such, or if they can lack one/some of those conditions. (For instance, can someone who feels something else instead of happiness, such as anger or conviction, while still thinking of their gender as a flame, identify as pyrogender?)

Oh, if you have meanings for the colors, that would be nice too.

I couldn’t find a term like that, but the closest terms I could find were Calidgender:  a gender that is not male, female, or nonbinary but exists. Has a solid core and a non-solid (but not liquid or gas) surrounding and is warm and Frigugender: a gender that is not male, female, or nonbinary but exists. Has a solid core and a non-solid (but not liquid or gas) surrounding and is cool. There’re a lot of modified terms for these, like fluid, flux, masc., fem., nonbinary etc. versions, so I recommend looking at this post and this post and seeing if anything fits.

Your best bet would probably be to coin your own gender. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help!

Under the cut there’s some warm, hard/solid, cold and soft genders, if you (or anyone else) are interested.
