Hellenismos Religiogender Masterlist

If you don't like xenogenders or religiogenders, good for you, keep scrolling! This is for people who do like them, or would like another way to merge praxis and identity.

This is a list of every genuine, non-bigoted gender I could find based on Hellenismos and its deities.

First, we'll start with some simple definitions! Hellenismos is the religion of Hellenic Polytheism, wherein one worships the Ancient Greek theoi (gods). Cultural genders are genders restricted to members of a specific culture. For example, boi is a cultural gender exclusive to Black transmascs. A religiogender is a gender based on or rooted in one's religion, like the Jewish gender tumtum. Not all religiogenders are xenogenders--for example, it may even be offensive to call tumtum a xenogender. A xenogender is a gender falling outside of what is generally considered to be a gender.

This list will be split into three sections: Modern, Ancient-Inspired, and Ancient. Modern is a term that is fully modern without historical basis, though it may use historic language; Ancient-Inspired is a term directly named after a real Ancient group or individual, but that may bend the concept it's named for; Ancient is a term that has largely retained its ancient meaning (as far as we know.)

Some, but not all, of these terms are exclusive. If a term does not say it's exclusive to a certain group or related to worship, it may be used by non-Hellenic Pagans or anyone who identifies with it! Importantly, you do not need to be trans or nonbinary to use a xenogender! If a term isn't noted as trans/enby/AGAB-specific, you can identify with it.

The summaries are brief and do not fully capture the terms they're about--click the names if you want details!

With that out of the way, let's crack in!

New gender term!!!

Ourania - Meaning “Heavenly” ; this gender can be combined with any sexuality or other gender. Most commonly used by Aphrodite Devotees, this gender is characterized by a feeling of love and beauty. There is a disconnect in one’s mortal gender and instead feels a feminine or androgynous divine vibe, as if blessed by Aphrodite.

A gender that can be any of the following:

A gender related to beauty, love and divine influence.

A gender influenced by ones devotion to the aforementioned goddess.

A gender influenced by the goddess Aphrodite.

A gender influenced by a kintype to the goddess Aphrodite.

Subsets of Ourania include (but not limited to):

Ourani

Ouranigirl

Ouraniboy

Ouranonbinary

Ouranigender

Dark and light pink symbolize feminine feelings as well as love while the blue represents the ocean from which Aphrodite was created. The white stripe is reminiscent of angelic colors and purity, while also signifying a disconnect with one’s mortal gender.

Second flag contains the “flower of aphrodite” one of her signifying symbols.

🌈✡️ : JEWGENDER

This flag is DIRECTLY referenced/inspired by @gendertreyf 's flags for the Jewish cultural genders/sexes, please also support his lovely original work!

Image IDs in alt text!

Jewgender is a Jewish culturally-exclusive xenogender, meaning you may only use this term/flag if you are Jewish (inclusive of patrilineal Jews, secular, converts, etc - a Jew is a Jew!). Credit for use of the flag in pfps, banners, etc is appreciated but not necessary. Please credit back to this post if you make edits of or take inspiration from this flag! Goyim/non-Jews may interact and share, but please do not use or clown in the reblogs/replies. Someone who identifies as Jewgender may do so for any number of reasons, Including but not limited to:

Feeling connected to one or more of the eight genders/sexes listed in the Talmud, including both adam and hamah. Someone who identifies with multiple of the listed sexes/genders may do so due to gender fluidity, intersex identity, or other personal experiences.

Feeling connected to Jewishness itself: be it culture, religion and/or secularism, social justice, history, etc. This gender indicates a deep tie to Jewishness at your core, inherently intertwining itself with your gender and the way you carry yourself through the world.

As a punk/alternative gender - to piss off transphobes, goyim, etc.

All of the above, or another reason entirely. Again, a Jew is a Jew!

Versions of the flag listed above include the standard blank flag, the stripes and their meanings (again - these were directly referenced from the aforementioned flags!), an alternative flag that include "b'tzelem elohim" and "tzedek tirdof", and a Bundist /Jewish Labor Bund Jewgender flag.

Androgynos/Androgynon Flags

Note: Androgynos here refers to the Ancient Hellenic religiogender, not the Jewish gender by the same name. They’re simply both Greek words for similar concepts.

I hadn’t seen any androgynon flags, and since I identify as androgynon—especially in context of my worship—I thought I’d try my hand at it.

Androgynon is, boiled down to its bare bones, "a Hellenist religiogender for individuals who are nonbinary, intersex, androgynous, bigender, and/or bisexual." The term acts as a gender and epithet. For example, an androgynos god may be bisexual and a "switch" (ie Adonis and Dionysos) or intersex (ie Hermaphroditos).

Meanings:

Gold: Hermaphroditos, the divine

Wine red: Dionysos, blurring of lines

Rose: Adonis, the bisexual androgynos

Navy: The wine-dark sea

Green: The Makhlyes, the intersex androgynon

The first symbol is the symbol for the Divine Nonbinary/Androgynous, the second for the Divine Neutral/Agender, and of course a no symbol version is last.

[DO NOT post my terms/flags to the LGBTA+ Wiki.]

[This term is exclusive to Hellenists.]

I don’t have a flag for this but I need it for my hoard

Gendergift/Genderdevotion:

A term for when you use your gender as a way to devote yourself to your deities or connect with them in a deeper way.

Can be used by any religious person except Wiccans and Christians but was coined by a person who worships celtic/Aztec deities

Fancy New Sappholatryc Flags!

No hate on the original Sappholatryc flag or @pupyzu, its creator, the flag is beautiful, but I wanted to make my own version with a meaning!

Sappholatryc is simply “a gender connected to the worship of Sappho,” which I relate to. I consider my lesbianism, worship, gender, and the work of Sappho to all be closely linked, and I truly love the term.

I devoted the creation of this flag to Sappho, and by proxy Aphrodite.

Meanings:

Deep purple: Ink, Sappo’s hair, the kthonic/hero worship

Purple: Violets, sapphic love

Lavender: Peace, the ouranic/the heavens

Cream: Clouds, the muse

Beige: To resemble the original flag, paper

Gold: The theoi/deities, immortality

Rust: Roses, Aphrodite’s blessing, mortality

The emblem is directly from the original Sappholatryc flag, and the bottom four stripes are modeled after it because. It's gorgeous.

[DO NOT post my terms/flags to the LGBTA+ Wiki.]
