An umbrella of genders that imperfectly resemble or leans towards that of another gender identity. Inspired by demigenders and the idea of the uncanny valley: "The concept suggests that humanoid objects that imperfectly resemble actual human beings provoke uncanny or strangely familiar feelings of uneasiness and revulsion in observers" (wikipedia). Someone who is uncannygender may have a gender that feels similar to that of another label or identity, but in a way that is imperfect and perhaps even eerie or unsettling.

Uncannygender can be used as both an umbrella term for other uncannygenders or as its own identity: Uncannygender - A gender identity that imperfectly resembles or leans towards being gendered.

This term can be used in related to feeling uncanny because you are nonhuman or partially nonhuman yourself (whether because of kin, delusions, neurodiversity, or simply relating to the idea of being nonhuman in some way). This is not necessary though.

Each flag (both for uncannygender and the flags listed under the cut have the following meanings: The dark-colored stripes at the top and bottom - eeriness, imperfection, the unknown The colored stripes in the middle - representative of the corresponding gender identity, washed out and off-colored to represent a slight The white or off-white stripe in the middle - disconnect, demigenders, and acceptance (some flags may not have it present to better represent the resembled gender identity)

Please read under the cut to see variations of this term and their flags!
