Autigender, also known as autisgender or autismgender, is a neurogender which can only be understood in the context of being autistic, or when one’s autism greatly affects one’s gender and/or how one experiences gender. Autigender is not autism as a gender, but rather describes an experience of gender that is so heavily influenced by being autistic that one’s autistic identity and one’s experience of gender cannot be unlinked.

Autigenderflux Pride Flag

Autigenderflux: ascribing fluctuating intensity in one's autigender identity; being fluid between completely autigender, partially autigender (demiautigender), and not autigender.

This doesn't mean the person sometimes is not autistic, it means that the autistic folk sometimes have their gender interlinked or interconnected with their autism, other times not or partly.

In my experience, my neurogenders are fluid between bipolargender, autigender, and schizogender (plus psychogender). Sometimes I'm not neurogender either (meaning I'm neurogenderflux as well).

Not to be confused with autiflux.

i just found your autigender symbol via another post and it looks so cool! does it have a specific meaning?

[IMAGE ID: A black infinity symbol with a horizontal line in the left loop and a circle in the right loop. END ID]

Meaning:

Infinity symbol: autism and the inifnite gender experiences autistic people have.

Horizontal line: everything part of gender that can be modified by autigenderness. Including but not limited to: gender fluidity, non-binary ness, gender alignment, genderlessness, being xenogender, etc.

Circle: everything surronding gender that can be modified by autigenderness. Including but not limited to: gender expression, gender non conformity, orientation, being intersex, masculinity, femininity, pronouns, gender hoarding, etc.

I have updated the coining post with the meanings! Please share this post or the updated original coining post.^^ /serious

Another thing about gender experiences while having autism is sometimes being able to grasp and understand your identity, but not being able to actually word it, maybe not even to yourself.

You stand there just, completely blank, not even sure what words you're comfortable with or what identity fits you best. Either because words are hard, or because their meanings are so broad or so strict, or something else entirely. I feel like that's not talked about enough

[tacobellebandit]

I see a lot of people making meanspirited jokes about terms that they don't understand because they seem ridiculous, but in those jokes it's obvious that they don't even want to try to understand either otherwise they would have asked instead of outright saying it's ridiculous and mocking it.

But if you actually ask someone who identifies that way you get a very thoughtful and introspective explanation that sometimes challenges your our preconceptions of X thing (gender, sexuality, etc etc). But only if you even cared to be a little curious.

Are LGBTQ labels confusing? Do you ever see a collection of words and think "aren't some of those antithetical or mutually exclusive?" Congratulations! You've run into a very interesting phenomenon that I'm about to break down to the best of my ability.

There's two major philosophies when it comes to labels, they don't have names to my knowledge so I'm gonna call them Reflective and Telegraph.

The Telegraph Label philosophy states that labels primarily function as a means of conveying useful information about one's self to others. It's telling others what pronouns, what parts and what genders that person has or is attracted to. This is usually pretty straightforward, the stuff someone interested in dating you would check before asking you out to avoid embarrassment.

The Reflective Label philosophy states that labels are primarily a tool for describing an internal experience. Putting words to feelings for the benefit of the self. This is how we get lables like stargender or autismgender. These aren't meaningfully useful labels that tell others what to expect physically or what pronouns to use. But that doesn’t mean they're useless. In the case of someone using autismgender, that label probably describes the internal experience of the ways a person's autism impacts their views on and performance of gender. Stargender likely explains not that they literally see themselves as a star but rather that their internal experience of their prefered gender performance makes them feel a way that reminds them of stars or stargazing.

And this applies to sexuality too. Boy lesbian might seem antithetical but ultimately that label isn't there to tell others anything. It's merely a comfort to have words to describe a mess of feelings and social dynamics.

And for clarification, anyone calling themselves a boy-lesbian probably isn't the cis male boogieman forcing lesbians who aren't interested in cis men to date them or else be labeled a bigot. That boogieman doesn't exist. A more likely explanation is that a nonbinary or trans person has a complex relationship with their changing gender that doesn't trigger a change in the way they see themselves in relationships and attraction thus causing them to keep or adopt the lesbian label despite the gender weirdness going on.

I see a lot of infighting about what people call themselves and whether or not certain combinations can even physically exist. And Y'know what? I don't think that's terribly productive. Neither philosophy is wrong. People are just using labels to address different root problems.

As aggravating as it might be for Telegraphers, you don't have to understand everything. Not everyone feels that they owe you the list of information you find useful, and their labels reflect that. And that's okay.

amazingphil autismgender

okay this is so real. it's not something i've talked about on this blog but the autistic disconnect from understanding arbitrary, constructed societal expectations and norms absolutely extends to gender SO OFTEN.

can't succeed at being a man or a woman if full, natural understanding of what that means will forever be beyond you. can't succeed at being a man or woman if your sensory needs and dexterity prevent you from executing gender performance within the realm of what's "normal"/"correct".

for some autistics this leads to a lifetime of misery from trying and failing to conform. for other sexier autistics this leads to intentionally failing gender in a myriad of interesting ways and phil's gender being faggot absolutely falls into this category imo!

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that gender ideologues believe that a man can identify as a woman. But did you know that you can identify as a rock?

This is the position of Gender Spectrum, arguably the most influential gender identity nonprofit in K-12 education. Gender Spectrum’s website says that it has “trained thousands of schools and school districts . . . building the capacities of tens of thousands of teachers, administrators . . . and other leaders to create gender inclusive environments.” The organization has partnered with the National Association of Secondary School Principals, the National PTA, the American School Counselors Association, and the School Superintendents Association, among others. With the National Education Association, it has released a 2015 report titled “Schools in Transition,” the first major policy paper arguing that social gender transitions should be kept secret from parents. And Gender Spectrum consulted on the CDC-endorsed National Sex Education Standards, which recommends promoting puberty blockers to third-graders.

Auditors from Open the Books examined a 2022 Gender Spectrum video training titled “Intro to Neoidentities and Neopronouns.” Naomi Cruz, then Gender Spectrum’s manager of family and educational programming, explained that it’s wrong to assume that gender identity should be confined to variants of male and female. Neopronouns and neo-identities help to break down the gender binary and move “away from a societal gender to a personal gender.” It is “impossible,” she explains, to know all potential gender identities or pronouns. But it’s “really important” to have an “intersectional understanding” of gender because race, religion, location, and even hobbies can affect people’s understanding of gender. (Though some gender theorists claim that gender identity is fixed and immutable, possibly requiring sterilizing hormones and castration, Gender Spectrum’s stance is that gender kinda depends on your hobbies.)

The current neo-identity movement, Cruz explains, got its start on Tumblr in the mid-2010s. These Tumblr posters introduced, among other things, emoji-self genders, with pronouns like J/Js/Jself. You could try to pronounce that as smiley/smileys/smileyself. But for many, the un-pronounceability is the point. Cruz explains that “by having pronouns that are essentially unable to be pronounced and can only be understood when typed online, we are completely distancing ourselves from the gender identities of man and woman.” She may have a point there.

Then there are noungenders—for example, rockgender, moongender, and foxgender. If a man identifies as a woman, then, according to gender ideologues, he truly is a woman. However, if a man identifies as the moon, he is not necessarily the moon. It might just mean that he identifies with society’s perception of the moon. Get it?

It is, however, important to note that you’re not permitted to assume a gender identity associated with another race, Cruz explains. A white person cannot identify as a black-related gender. A white person can, however, identify as a rock. And a black person could, of course, identify as a penguin.

You probably wouldn’t think that autism and borderline personality disorder are gender identities. But you would be wrong, says Cruz. There is autismgender and bordergender. There is also gendervague. Cruz couldn’t quite explain what this one meant, but you can only identify as gendervague if you are neurodiverse.

Anticipating objections, Cruz said that “of course” neogenders are “valid,” and “They are not taking it too far. They are a radical act of stepping away from a system that’s causing a lot of harm for folks.” Using neo-identities is “a way of undoing the gender binary and gender norms, which liberates everyone.”

This all might sound fringe, but Gender Spectrum is no fringe gender-identity organization. Few, if any, nonprofits have done more to influence how public education addresses gender identity and gender-identity issues. And Gender Spectrum believes that rockgender and autismgender are both valid gender-identity categories.

And who’s willing to say that they’re wrong? I contacted the National Education Association, the American School Counselors Association, the National Parent Teacher Association, and the National Association of Secondary School Principals to ask whether they also believe that emojis, rocks, and autism are all gender identities. None returned my request for comment.

That could be because it’s such an absurd question that their communications staff refused to dignify it with an answer. Or it could be because the first rule of gender ideology is that you don’t question the rules of gender ideology, and the second rule is that organizations like Gender Spectrum decide what those rules are—taking their cues, of course, from stuff teenage girls (or possibly rocks, who knows?) say on Tumblr.

Religious lunatics have no place in schools.

Catholics, who think the bread and the wine literally becomes the substance of the body of Christ, think Scientology is crazy and Islam is obviously fake and nonsensical. They have entirely no basis to make this claim, as they use the same mechanism, faith, for their own beliefs. When you resort to faith, you open the door for anyone else to use it too, and you forfeit the ability to criticize it or anything done based on it, or gatekeep who can or can't use it. There is no limit to what someone can believe based entirely on faith. Either all faith is valid, or none.

There will be "they/them"s, "she/they"s and "xie/xir"s who think "rockgender" is crazy and "moongender" is obvioulsy fake and nonsensical. They have entirely no basis to make this claim, as they use the same mechanism, self ID, for their own beliefs. When you resort to subjective identification, you open the door for anyone else to use it too, and you forfeit the ability to criticize it or any identity invented based on it, or gatekeep who can or can't use it. There is no limit to what someone can claim to be based entirely on self ID. Either all claims are valid, or none. (And if you say all, just wait til you see what's coming next.)

You can have a deeply personal religious faith that is incontestable but for you alone, or you can have a religion that everyone should respect and which is therefore a matter of public concern and discussion. If we have to be involved, we get a say.

You can have a deeply personal sense of self that is unassailable but for you alone, or you can have an identity that everyone should respect and acknowledge and which is therefore a matter of public interest and opinion. If we must validate and affirm, then we get a say.

Their Catholicism is no different to me than Islam or Scientology. They can believe what they want, but I will not recognize or participate in any of them. Your religion is for you; it does not tell me what to do. If your religion demands others comply, then it's probably fake.

Your "they/them" is no different to me than "rockself" or "moonself." You can identify however you want, but I will not validate or affirm any of them. Your identity is for you; you do not get to tell me how I identify you. If your identity requires others to participate, then it's probably fake.

It was a mistake to pander to this in the first place. It's not "kind" to lie, or to expect others to do so.

I have updated the post with the meaning of the symbol, please reblog and share this updated version! :) /serious

Autigender Symbol

Some time ago I've shown the autigender symbols I had designed and asked yall what you thought about them, if you should change something, etc. But all your feedbacks were positive so I've decided to keep this design and to coin them "officially".

So, here they are, autigender symbols!

Meaning:

Infinity symbol: autism and the inifnite gender experiences autistic people have.

Horizontal line: everything part of gender that can be modified by autigenderness. Including but not limited to: gender fluidity, non-binary ness, gender alignment, genderlessness, being xenogender, etc.

Circle: everything surronding gender that can be modified by autigenderness. Including but not limited to: gender expression, gender non conformity, orientation, being intersex, masculinity, femininity, pronouns, gender hoarding, etc.
