Revela: a gender identity related to self-exploration.

Etymology

[PT: Etymology ./. End PT]

From English, "Revelation", shortened to "Revela". Coined by Gent (Gender-Jargon), June 2024.

The root word "revelation" was chosen based upon the many revelations that occur in the process of self-exploration; becoming informed of that self-exploration is an option, the realization that one desires to explore oneself, the journey one takes when exploring oneself, the things that one learns about oneself while on said journey and what that ultimately means to oneself.

Elaboration

[PT: Elaboration ./. End PT]

Revela is an atrinary, outherine/diastine gender identity. Revela can be considered autonomine, autoine, rahuine and/or quesinine depending on the individual.

For a Revela individual, self-exploration is an essential experience, highly central to one's identity, heavily involved in one's concept of their gender and often a perpetual pursuit. Revela can be used to describe anyone who considers self-exploration to be a gendered experience.

Simply, Revela is a gender about getting to know oneself and all that it entails. Revela is similar to Alithix and Rahugender, but with some differences:

Alithix is about the pursuit of authenticity. Rahugender is about self-actualization. Revela is about self-exploration. All three of these can significantly overlap, but ultimately, each are distinct.

Alithix is about being true to yourself, Rahugender is about becoming one's "best" self and Revela is about finding out who you are.

Pride Flag

[PT: Pride Flag ./. End PT]

The pride flag was created at the same time as the term by myself (Gent, GJ, 6/24). The pride flag consists of nine horizontal stripes of the same size. From top to bottom, the stripes are navy blue, indigo, teal, light yellow, grey, light yellow, teal, indigo and navy blue. The colors have the following meanings:

The navy blue stripes represents unknowability, mystery, boundless infinity and questions without answers.

The indigo stripes represents the vast frontier of the unexplored, knowledge that is not yet known and life's secrets.

The teal stripe represents the spirit of investigation, the act of learning, unfamiliarity and personal development.

The light yellow stripes represents burning curiosity, motivation, introspection and the process of questioning oneself.

The grey stripe represents the self.

Etymology

[PT: Etymology ./. End PT]

From Spanish, "modifique", meaning "I modify", changed to "modifizique" to make it distinct. The suffix "-ique" is also used here to allude to gender autonomy.

I coined this back on my old blog, Gender-Resource, sometime before it was terminated, but I can't find it archived literally anywhere. I believe I made it sometime in mid to late 2020.

If anyone has a link to the post archived somewhere, please let me know! I'll edit it into the post.

Elaboration

[PT: Elaboration ./. End PT]

Modifizique is an atrinary, diastine gender identity. It is also autoine, autonomine, genonine and rahuine. It may or may not be a sucuingender and/or cuingender. Some may experience the gender as xenine or as a nohingender. Modifizique involves body modification as a quality, making it BOMIN (Bomodine-in-nature).

Modifizique is a label that can describe many, many different experiences, all unified through achieving some sort of self-actualization through body modification. The desire for body modification can be related to preference, aesthetic, cultural and/or subcultural practices, spirituality, alterhumanity, neurodivergence or virtually any other reason, given that it is experientially accessible to the individual in question.

Simply put, Modifizique:

is an atrinary, diastine gender which is individual, self-governed and non-conformant.

is related to the ideal sense of self one seeks to be and the development of their "full potential" as an individual.

involves a(n) (ideal) self image that is achieved through body modification.

Here, body modification refers to the various practices involving the deliberate alteration of one's anatomy and/or physical appearance. Some examples include, but are not limited to, tattoos, scarification, piercing, branding, ear cropping, implants, plastic surgery, corseting, stretching, tongue splitting, hair removal and hair dyeing, to name some. Body modifications such as these are experienced as gendered self-expressions.

Though this gender identity was coined with tangible acts of alteration in mind, this term is inclusive of those who desire to modify their body, but are unable to do so for whatever reason.

Pride Flag

[PT: Pride Flag ./. End PT]

The original pride flag for Modifizique was created at the same time as the term in 2020 by myself on Gender-Resource. Quite frankly, my original flag is really, really unappealing, so I redesigned the flag for this repost. This redesign was created in June 2024.

The redesigned flag consists of six horizontal stripes of the same size. From top to bottom, the stripes are navy blue, light desaturated purple, light grey-blue, white, desaturated yellow, scarlet red and blood red. The colors have the following meanings:

The navy blue stripe represents ink and dye.

The light desaturated purple stripe represents gender non-conformity.

The light grey-blue stripe represents metal.

The white stripe represents the blank slate of creation.

The desaturated yellow stripe represents self-expression.

The scarlet red stripe represents flesh.

The blood red stripe represents blood.
