Masque: A masculinely queer expression, presentation, or aspect of gender. This may manifest as gender nonconformity that is masculine at its core or it may refer to performance masculinity (as in masculine drag.)

Abigender symbol

A symbol I made for abigender beings!

[intervex]

Müllerian and Wolffian Astronomy-Style Symbols

Left: Müllerian - a perisex person whose innate sex development is in line with societal expectations of "biological female". The symbol is a reference to electronics symbology for a female socket. Right: Wolffian - a perisex person whose innate sex development is in line with societal expectations of "biological male". The symbol is a reference to the same electronics symbology, but for a male plug.

Symbols for perisex trans and nonbinary folks: 🏳️‍⚧️

And symbols for cisgender perisex folks:

It's a happy accident that the cisgender perisex female symbol looks like a stick figure in a dress lol 😂

SVG files available on Wikimedia Commons 💜 Feel free to edit and play with them as desired! 💜

These symbols came out of this thread where I workshopped ideas for a perisex flag. Thanks to everybody who participated, especially @clowncaraz for valuable feedback!

EDIT 2024-10-07 whoops mixed up Wolffian and Mullerian at the top of the original version of the post. 🙃 Thank you to Apollo for bringing that to my attention!

here are all the symbols that have been proposed for maveriques at some point:

the comet symbol was proposed as planet symbols (at the time of its proposal) were associated with binary gender, but it still keeps the pattern of celestial objects. it never really picked up as it was also already being used as a general nonbinary symbol. now it has pretty much fallen out of use entirely. the problem with the comet symbol is that when the unicode character is inserted somewhere, it turns into an emoji and looks nothing like the picture.

the earth symbol was briefly considered for maveriques because it's a planet symbol, but it was quickly discarded after some sources stated its use as an intersex symbol. i don't know if nowadays it's actually used as an intersex symbol. i've never seen it and have seen other symbols for intersexness instead. the earth symbol has the same problem as the comet symbol.

the sun symbol was proposed due to the colours of the maverique flag, as well as maveriques' "burning inner conviction" about their gender. it follows the pattern of using celestial objects while not using a planet. the symbol isn't used much for maveriques though, as in many cultures the sun is associated with masculinity. especially after solarian was coined, the sun became even more associated with masculinity in nonbinary spaces. nowadays, this sun symbol is sometimes used as a disabled symbol.

the pluto symbol was suggested because it follows a pre-established pattern of gender symbols (celestial objects closest to the sun) and it doesn't look like the venus and mars symbols, setting it apart from binary gender symbols. this symbol never really picked up.

this symbol was designed on a tumblr blog that no longer exists. the meaning of the symbol is explained like this: "the line in the center of the circle represents the binary and the filled in circle represents maveriques not being any part of it. the lines going sideways and extending in both directions is to show that no one is the same yet the people who identify as maverique have this identity in common." while the meaning is explained, it's still unclear. despite that, this seems to be the most commonly used maverique symbol. because this is not a symbol that already existed, there's no unicode character.

this symbol was created by me a few months ago. the circle is a common component of gender symbols nowadays. the two small circles on the left and right symbolise the gender binary. the bigger circle in the middle symbolises maveriques, not "touching" the gender binary. there's no unicode character for this, because it's not a pre-existing symbol.

Okay, so I know this is the Demigirl/demiwoman symbol:

But I feel you all really missed a golden opportunity to use the Ceres planet symbol:

[liom-archive]

[ID: A simple symbol of a comet, made of the outline of a circle with three lines coming off of the top right. /End ID.]

okay so yaknow how the female sign (♀) is the astronomical symbol for venus and the male sign (♂) is the astronomical symbol for mars

i think we should make the astronomical sign for comets be the nonbinary sign look how cool it is

here it is in type ☄

hey what's that symbol in the intraabin flag based off? i just can't find a proposal of it as an abinary symbol

Incredibly late answer, sorry! The intraabin symbol is based off the abinary symbol proposed by waxingoccult, who is deactivated. I don't remember exactly which archive blog I found it from at the time, but here's a link to one of them.

I do still have the intraabin and the general abinary symbols I made, though!

[your-bigender-big-brother]

could you upload the ainepicene flag (no symbol) and the symbol separately?

Here you are!

I do sort of wish western anime fans would analyze anime and manga from a framework of japanese historical and cultural context. Specifically a lot of works from the 90s being influenced by the general aimlessness and ennui that a lot of people were experiencing due to the burst in the bubble economy and the national trauma caused by the sarin terrorist attack. I think in interacting with media that’s not local to our sociocultural/sociopolitical sphere it’s easy to forget that it’s influenced and shaped by the same kinds of factors that influence media within our own cultural dome and there ends up being this baseline misalignment of perception between the causative elements of a narrative and viewer interpretation of those elements. It’s a form of death of the author that i think, in some measure, hinders our ability to fully understand/come to terms with creator intent and the full scope of a work’s merits

I think that a lot of the debate surrounding Vil’s gender identity would be cleared up if people accepted that Vil does not consider himself a feminine man. Vil doesn’t consider wearing makeup to be feminine. Vil does not consider the group performance to be feminine.

Vil isn’t doing feminine things despite being a man, nor is he reinterpreting feminine things as masculine. He does things because he considers them beautiful. Gender was never a part of the equation for him.

Oooh, I really like the modified Mercury one. I love the symbol and that planet/deity really speaks to me. Seeing this version without the bottom part looks really nice.

nonbinary gender symbols based off of modified astronomical signs!
