Transmaveresque: Transitioning to or having a connection to maveresquinity (related to the gender of maveresque.) This could mean a trans identity aligned with maverinity, connected to proxverity, or related to maveriquinity in some way. It is a trans identity with a maverine-like or maverique-like quality.

I made a few flags for this and I'm in love with the colors! Red, oranges, browns... Very gendermaverick. - 💙💚

Does maverique have anything to do with gendermaverick?

Hey anon, thanks for sending me your question. :-)

So, the answer to your question is a bit complicated. The words have an intertwined history, but they ultimately are distinct.

Below, I will talk about the history of each term and then compare and contrast them at the end of the post.

Let's start with a timeline of the two terms.

[Image ID: an image of a timeline of the terms "maverique" and "gendermaverick". The image includes a centered, wavy line with 8 points that are colored in a rainbow gradient from orange to green corresponding to a section of text for each event plotted on the timeline. The image reads: "5/31/2014 - coining of maverique. The term "maverique", created by Vesper, made it's official debut with the first iteration of it's definition. 06/15/2014 -first reworking of maverique definition. Vesper does the first reworking of the definition of maverique and created a maverique pride flag. 06/16/2014 - Haxaaya Proposes a Variant: Gendermaverick. Tumblr user Haxaaya contacts Vesper regarding the proposal of the term "gendermaverick", a gender that draws from both maverique and genderfuck experiences. 06/18/2014 - first definition of gendermaverick. The first iteration of the "gendermaverick" definition is posted by Haxaaya. Vesper responds with feed back, articulating a lack of similarity between terms. 06/18/2014 - first reworking of gendermaverick definition. Follow Vesper's feedback, Haxaaya attempted to refine the term and posted a revised definition. 06/21/2014 - final iteration of maverique's definition. Vesper posted the final revision of their term, "maverique". 07/06/2014 - final iteration of gendermaverick's definition. Haxaaya posted the final revision of the definition of their term, "gendermaverick", including both a formal and simplified definition. 07/08/2014 - gendermaverick pride flag created. Haxaaya created a gendermaverick pride flag, which was submitted to tumblr blog Pride-Flags-For-Us." In the bottom right corner, the image reads: "Graphic by Gent (Gneder-Jargon)". ./. End ID]

History of The Term Maverique

[PT: History of The Term Maverique ./. End PT]

"Maverique" was coined by Vesper on their blog, Queer As Cat (link) [PT: Queer As Cat ./. End PT] , back in 2014. It appears that it's definition has been rewritten by Vesper three different times while they tried to find the correct wording.

Their first iteration (link) [PT: first iteration ./. End PT] of Maverique was:

a non-binary gender characterized by an  unconventional and unothodox internal sense of self and the interrelationship between that sense of self and society. maveriques feel no connection with concepts of femininity or masculinity, but instead feel a sense of gender which is completely independent of conventional ideas of gender; a sense of gender which is entirely its own. a maverique’s sense of gender is strong, leaving little room for apathy or neutrality. there is no middle ground, as maverique is a point between nothing. there is no gray area, as maverique is not a shade on a palette. maveriques are mavericks, plain and simple, but please– don’t forget the “-ique”.

End PT]

This first definition can be summed up as:

a non-binary gender identity that is not connected to femininity, masculinity or neutrality (atrinary).

a strong, specific sense of gender that is definitively not apathetic or neutral.

a distinct quality, not being between any other genders or vague/unclear in nature.

conceptually nonconformist (unorthodox), existing out of the bounds of cultural norms (unconventional).

definitively involving the dynamic of one's maverique gender and how it is functions in greater society and within oneself

End PT]

The second iteration (link) [PT: second iteration ./. End ID] of the definition was:

a non-binary gender characterized by autonomy and inner conviction regarding a sense of gender which is unorthodox, unconventional and entirely independent of conventional concepts of gender.

[PT: a non-binary gender characterized by autonomy and inner conviction regarding a sense of gender which is unorthodox, unconventional and entirely independent of conventional concepts of gender. ./. End PT]

This second definition can be summed up as:

an autonomous gender identity held with a sense of conviction.

Separate from existing conventional concepts of gender (atrinary).

conceptually nonconformist (unorthodox), existing out of the bounds of cultural norms (unconventional).

The third (and last) iteration (link) [PT: third (and last) iteration ./. End PT] of the definition is:

a gender characterized by autonomy and inner conviction regarding a sense of self that is entirely independent of male/masculinity, female/femininity or anything which derives from the two while still being neither without gender nor of a neutral gender.

[PT: a gender characterized by autonomy and inner conviction regarding a sense of self that is entirely independent of male/masculinity, female/femininity or anything which derives from the two while still being neither without gender nor of a neutral gender. ./. End ID]

an autonomous gender identity held with a sense of conviction.

a specific, atrinary gender identity.

History of The Term Gendermaverick

[PT: History of The Term Gendermaverick ./. End PT]

Approximately 2 weeks after the coining of the term "Maverique", user Haxaaya contacted Vesper to propose a related term (link) [PT: propose a related term ./. End PT] to Maverique called "Gendermaverick".

The definition for Gendermaverick (link) [PT: definition for Gendermaverick ./. End PT] is as follows:

Gendermaverick: a non-traditional (and non-binary) gender experience characterized by both the innate sense of disconnect and independence from binary gender and the intent to subvert society’s expectations of gender. (See also: maverique and genderpunk/genderf*ck)

[PT: Gendermaverick: a non-traditional (and non-binary) gender experience characterized by both the innate sense of disconnect and independence from binary gender and the intent to subvert society's expectations of gender. (See also: maverique and genderpunk/genderf*ck) ./. End PT]

This definition can be summed up as:

a non-binary gender that is non-traditional and subversive.

a gender identity involving a sense of disidentification and sovereignty from the gender binary.

[PT: a non-binary gender that is non-traditional and subversive. a gender identity involving a sense of disidentification and sovereignty from the gender binary. ./. End PT]

According to the coiner of Gendermaverick, the term was intended to be the same as Maverique, but with an added element of "deliberate and direct intent to challenge gender expectations".

Vesper provided feedback, stating that gendermaverick (using the quoted definition above) and maverique have little in common, as maverique isn't an active type of genderfuckery nor does it involve a sense of disconnection from binary gender. Explaining, rather, that maverique is a specific, autonomous atrinary identity that involves an innate inner conviction of their gender in the face of how their outherine identity is deemed deviant/anomalous by society at large and how that is internalized by the individual themselves.

Not long after, the definition for Gendermaverick was redefined by the coiner (link) [PT: the definition for Gendermaverick was redefined by the coiner. ./. End PT]:

Gendermaverick: a distinctly unorthodox (and non-binary) gender experience characterized by a self-determined and autonomous sense of anomalous disconnect and/or independence from traditional binary gender. Furthermore, gendermaverick is an identity undertaken/used with the intention of deliberate subversion of society’s sense of binary gender. (See also: maverique and genderpunk/genderf*ck)

End PT]

This second revision summed up is:

A non-binary gender that is conceptually nonconformist (unorthodox).

A gender identity that is autonomous in nature (AUIN) and self-determined.

A gender identity involving a sense of disidentification and sovereignty from the gender binary.

A gender that is non-traditional and subversive with regards to the gender binary.

The last formal definition given by the coiner (link) [PT:last formal definition given by the coiner ./. End PT] was:

Gendermaverick (dictionary version): an unorthodox gender experience characterized by a self-determined sense of anomalous disconnect from binary gender, often combined with the intention to subvert conventional notions of binary gender (see also: maverique and genderpunk) Gendermaverick (understandable version): a non-traditional gender that you decide the meaning of for yourself, but which is definitely disconnected from binary gender (i.e. man or woman). it can be also be thought of as a gender that intends to mess with society’s notions of a binary gender. (similar concepts are maverique and genderpunk)

The coiner, in an anonymous ask, also described Gendermaverick as, "a deliberately unorthodox/anomalous non-binary gender".

The most recent revision can be summed up as:

a non-binary gender that is conceptually nonconformist (unorthodox).

a gender identity that is self-determined.

a feeling of inconsistency and/or deviance coupled with a disconnected from the gender binary.

a gender that is non-traditional and subversive with regards to the gender binary.

additionally, related to self-definition and genderfuckery.

Comparing & Contrasting Maverique With Gendermaverick

[PT: Comparing & Contrasting Maverique With Gendermaverick ./. End PT]

After reviewing all this information, I have developed an interpretation of the terms Maverique and Gendermaverick. I am Neutrois, not Maverique or Gendermaverick, so I am not speaking from any sort of personal experience, but rather making sense of and summarizing what I found from both coiners in regards to the respective terms they coined. If a Maverique and/or Gendermaverick individual has insight to provide, I would love to hear from them.

Maverique is:

a distinct, specific atrinary (ATRIN) gender that is autonomous in nature (AUIN).

not a lack of gender (AGIN) , vague (VAIN), neutral/neutrine (NIN/NEUIN) nor apathetic (APIN).

not located between any other gender or group of genders.

a gender involving a sense of conviction regarding one's sense of self that is unorthodox and unconventional in it's concept and internalization.

End PT]

Gendermaverick is:

an autonomous (AUIN, abinary (ABIN) gender involving an anomalous disconnect (WIN) from the gender binary.

gender non-conforming (GENOIN), subversive, non-traditional and/or unorthodox in it's nature.

[PT: an autonomous (AUIN, abinary (ABIN) gender involving an anomalous disconnect (WIN) from the gender binary. gender non-conforming (GENOIN), subversive, non-traditional and/or unorthodox in it's nature. ./. end PT]

Both maverique and gendermaverick are:

abinary (ABIN) gender identities.

autonomous in nature (AUIN).

genders that challenge the existing paradigm of the gender binary and it's derivative identities in some way.

[PT: abinary (ABIN) gender identities. autonomous in nature (AUIN). genders that challenge the existing paradigm of the gender binary and it's derivative identities in some way. ./. End PT]

Maverique and gendermaverick differ in that:

maverique is definitively atrinary (ATRIN), whereas gendermaverick is described as abinary (ABIN), but not specified as atrinary.

maverique definitively involves a sense of conviction regarding one's sense of self, gendremaverick does not.

gendermaverick definitively involves gendrfuckery and/or gender non-conformity, maverique does not.

gendermaverick involves an innate disconnection from the gender binary, maverique does not.

End PT]

Ultimately, Maverique and Gendermaverick are pretty different from each other. Aside from the similarities listed above and an intertwined etymology, they are not all that alike.

TLDR;

Maverique was coined by Vesper. Not long after this coining, tumblr user Haxaaya created the term "Gendermaverick", articulating that it was near identical to Maverique, with the added characteristic of being deliberate and direct in it's intent to challenge gender expectations. As each coiner elaborated on their respective terms, it became apparent that the terms were distinct. Aside from both genders being abinary and subversive in some sense, they both are both different experiences. Their etymology and early history are enmeshed, but ultimately, each identity are notably distinct in concept.

Does maverique have anything to do with gendermaverick?

apart from sounding similar and having a similar coining date, not really.

the definition of gendermaverick is both less and more specific than the definition of maverique, in different ways.

the coining post has this definition:

an unorthodox gender experience characterized by a self-determined sense of anomalous disconnect from binary gender, often combined with the intention to subvert conventional notions of binary gender

an "anomalous disconnect from binary gender" is very vague and could potentially describe a lot of nonbinary gender identities, like agender, neutrois, xenogender, and maverique, too. it essentially describes abinary gender identities. this is how it's broader than maverique.

"the intention to subvert conventional notions of binary gender" is not inherent to the definition of maverique. of course being maverique is inherently subversive and anyone of any gender can choose to subvert binary gender, but it's not part of the core definition of maverique. you don't need to do or intend anything to be maverique, you just are, if that makes sense. this is how it's more specific than maverique.

so, gendermaverick is basically an abinary version of genderpunk, whereas maverique is a specific abinary gender that doesn't come with an inherent intent to punk anything.

I wish I could hand off my half-written OCs to someone else and let them write a story using that OC. I'd love to see what other people would do with something that would otherwise sit in a Google Doc and collect dust.

I have a very headstrong and independent maverique(ish) character named Jack Valor (who named themself after a local mountain) who grew up in a city and had to move to the country. They're about 19 years old. They relate to the local cattle who are forcefully branded by farmers and decide that they will never let another person brand them as anything. They consider their gender to be the only one like it, though "gender maverick" is the closest descriptor. They love stories about criminals living on the road and are probably obsessed with Marty Robbins and Johnny Cash. They probably get in trouble a lot and they are very anti-authoritarian. The story would have been called The Maverick of Mount Valor or something.

But what do I even DO with a character like this? What kind of story do I write? I have so much going on that I keep coming up with ideas and then abandoning them.

gendermaverick foi traduzido para gênero dissidente ou gênero inconformista. Foi alguém que você conhece ou você msm?

É o mesmo que inconformista de gênero ou dissidência de gênero? Pois vejo váries usando como identificadores de gnc (não conformidade de gênero) ou minoria de gênero marginalizado.

Ainda, quando se pesquisa no google, aparece também o termo transgressão de gênero.

Imagino que tenha sido eu, embora eu não consiga achar nada sobre. É possível que eu tenha discutido isso em privado com alguém.

Não, o ponto de usar gênero-inconformista e gênero-dissidente é pra separar dos termos inconformista de gênero e dissidente de gênero: afinal, os adjetivos dos primeiros dois termos se referem a um gênero específico enquanto os adjetivos dos dois últimos termos se referem às pessoas em si, com "de gênero" sendo apenas mais uma especificação.

A palavra maverick é difícil de traduzir para a língua portuguesa, e por isso foram escolhidas palavras que chegam perto do significado da identidade de gênero. É possível ler sobre o termo aqui.

Oh! Also, could you explain the difference between Nymhs, gendermaverick, and maverique?

the definition of gendermaverick says “the main (and pretty much only) difference between maverique and gendermaverick is that gendermaverick involves a deliberate and direct intent to challenge gender expectations”. so really there isn’t much of a difference at all!

the difference between nymhs & maverique is that nymhs is “ambiguous or undefined”, while maverique isnt ambiguous - it’s a specific gender.

some of the posts at @maveriques might be helpful to read through!

Viramoric Maverique Pride Flag

Maverique: an abinary allogender/aporagender identity; a gender that is not the absence of gender, or an apathy towards gender, but a present feeling of gender, completely independent from male, female, neutral, or anything derived from any of them.

Viramoric: a diamoric term for binaryn't (genderqueer/nonbinary) individuals who are exclusively or primarily attracted to men.

Cadoneutrois and Cadomavrique combo flags for anon

Cadogender: A subcategory of polygender identities to have a gender to fall back on or one that you always go back to.

Neutrois:  A non-binary gender identity which is considered to be a neutral or null gender. It may also be used to mean genderless, and has considerable overlap with agender - some people who consider themselves neutrally gendered or genderless may identify as both, while others prefer one term or the other.  There is no one definition of Neutrois, since each person that self-identifies as such experiences their gender differently. The most common ones are: neutral-gender, null-gender, neither male nor female, or genderless.

Maverique: a gender characterized be being entirely independent of male/masculinity, female/femininity or anything which derives from the two while still having a gendered feeling that is neither without gender nor of a neutral gender.
