A List of Gender Terms !

So I disappeared for 2 months, but I finally completed this project! :D (Though I've been making some random posts talking about it, so it's not like I was really gone, or what I was working on wasn't obvious.)

It started off as me having trouble keeping track of a couple gender terms (and also not knowing they existed before, since I've never really seen people talk about them), then I thought I should make a list, and if I was going to do that I might as well post it to help other people too. Which I started out trying to make that list on Tumblr, but I found it too limiting so I moved to google docs, which I also found too limiting (I just couldn't achieve my vision, if you will), and now I know html and css.

As usual, I kinda overdid it, but I think I should be a little proud of myself. I had 0 knowledge of html and css, and 2 months later I've made my own website. (I could have made it much quicker, but I often had to take breaks, a bit overwhelmed by all that new stuff.)

Anyways, it has a ton of terms on there.

I have sections for nonbinary, abinary, midbinary, atrinary, midtrinary, androgyne, agender, neutrois, maverique, ilyagender, aporagender, outherine, kenochoric, and xenogender.

For 7 categories (sex terms, adult, general term, child, gender quality, gender-quality-in-nature genders, and spectrum / -iagender spectrum).

And they all have sources on both Archive Today, Wayback Machine, and if still existing, the original post too. (At least to the best of my abilities, and there are a couple of exceptions that I couldn't figure out.)

I did put effort into this, but it's possible I missed something. So if I made a mistake anywhere, or if anyone has any extra information to add on, or if you just have some comments, you can tell me. My ask box is open, but comments on this post would probably be fine too.

Also, I checked on a couple of different browsers, mobile too, and read up on web accessibility and checked and all that (I tried using a screen reader, I'm not a pro at it though, so it's possible I may have missed something obvious), so I hope the website itself is useable. But if there's any bugs there, just tell me (it'll be appreciated).

I'm also thinking of making another compilation, but for flags (for all of the terms listed here), and maybe orientations too, but maybe later haha

I also don't know how to write a image id for the top picture, if anyone wants to write to one I'll add it.

Some ilyagender-focused centrigenders!

I made some new centrigenders that I wanted to post in batches. These ones are for being between ilyagender and others. The labels are above the flags.

Ilyemme: Between ilyagender and female.

Ilyomme: Between ilyagender and male.

Ilyangi: Between ilyagender and androgyne.

Ilyneu: Between ilyagender and epicene.

Ilyapora: Between ilyagender and aporagender.

Mavilya: Between maverique and ilyagender.

Outhilya: Between outherine and ilyagender.

[stormy-talks]

I need some help with terms.

Can someone explain to me the difference between ilyagender and péra in a way that is easy to understand?

I understand ilyagender is not male, female, neutral, or null. Péra is the same but its definition goes out of its way to explain that it is not gender apathy or confusion about one's gender.

Is that the distinction? That ilyagender can often include apathy or confusion?

It also seems that péra can combine with or derive from other genders whereas ilyagender doesn't do that. Is that the distinction instead?

Please help! I am so fascinated by outherinity and just want to make sure I can understand it all!

[neopronouns]

Would you coin a ilyagender diminutive term? so a ilyagender equivalent to boy, girl, enby, xip, hex, etc.

here's my idea: enfil [pt: enfil]

'ilya' comes from french 'il y a', so i wanted a french-inspired diminutive term as well. in french, 'enfant' refers to a child, 'fils' refers to a son (specifically sons not boys, which is garçon) and 'fille' refers to either a girl or a daughter, so i combined the three into 'enfil', which also shares the 'il' with 'ilya'!

Ilyaginity

Ilyaginity is a term I coined last year to describe the quality of Ilyagender and genders related, similar, derived from it.

(Here the archived version of the coining post I made last year)

Ilyagine genders are all characterised by a tangible sense of gender that's neither feminine/masculine/neutral nor derived, a mix/in between, similar, or in any way related to those three main qualities, while being neither xenine nor a lack of gender/beyond the concept of gender.

The gender nature is ILYIN; and its viagender counterpart is ILYIA.

The Ilyagine flag

[the ilyagine flag]

[ID: The ilyagine flag has six horizontal stripes, each of a different colour. The colours, from top to bottom, are: brown, light tan, dark grey, beige, yellow-ish orange, pastel orange. All the stripes are the same size./END ID]

---

Ilya-alignment: Albireian

[PT: ilya-alignment: albireian]

A term for someone who is ilya-aligned. Having an alignment towards ilyagenderness.

Some ways to be albireian:

Someone who is partially ilyagender.

Someone who has some sort of connection to ilyagenderness, regardless of actual gender.

Someone who has a gender similar to, but not the same as ilyagender.

Someone who is ilyingender/connected to ilyaginity regardless of actual gender.

A non-binary individual who presents ilyaginely, regardless of actual gender.

Someone connected to ilyagenderness through their experience with society. They may be treated as and/or have experiences similar to that of Ilyagender.

The term "albireian" comes from the star Albireo.

The albireian flag:

[ID: A flag with five horizontal stripes, all of different colours. From top to bottom, these are: brown, orange, light yellow. /END ID]

Some Ilyagine genders:

[PT: some ilyagine genders]

Ilyagender: The OG ilya- gender. Coined by Epochyphal in 2014, who defined it as "having a tangible presence of gender, one which is not man, woman, neutral, or agender in any way, nor between or a combination or derivation."

Proxilya: Coined by me (archived here). It's the circabinary equivalent of ilyagender and its definition is: "A gender near ilyagender. It's relative to ilyagender, but separate and entirely on its own. It's proximal to ilyagender in the gender spectrum."

[ID: A flag with four horizontal stripe, from top to bottom: dark brown, dark yellowish-brown, yellowish brown, and pastel tan.All the stripes are the same width./End ID]

Ilyaen: A generic monolexic word that any ilyagender or otherwise ilyagine gendered person can use. The Ilyagine/Ilyagender equivalent to (wer)man/woman. (archived)

[ID: A flag with four horizontal stripes, from top to bottom: brown, light grey-ish brown, light orange, and orange. The two middle stripes are slightly wider than the top and bottom ones. /End ID]

[themaveriqueagenda]

i refuse to believe that the maverique experience* - gender disconnected from manhood, womanhood, genderlessness and neutrality - is really as uncommon as it seems. there's no way there's so few of us.

i feel like it's more likely that people who have the same or a similar gendered experience as us just use different labels: maybe they're pera or aliagender or ilyagender, maybe they're aporagender or outherine, maybe they use slightly broader labels like aphorian or abinary, maybe they use labels that "technically don't apply". i know of at least one neutrois person who has said that technically maverique describes them better but they have used neutrous for so long because it's all there was when they came out and it feels more comfortable, and i personally identified as agender before finding the label maverique. with maveriques having so little visibility, i wouldn't be surprised if other people existed who either decide to use a label that's a bit more well-known or who simply don't know maverique exists, despite having a similar gendered experience.

but even adding all the people who use the above labels together (except for agender because it's a very common label), there's still barely any of us. i regularly search through aphorian, abinary, maverique, neutrous, ilyagender, aliagender, outherine, aporagender etc. tags on various social media and there's barely any of us.

but i'm pretty sure there are people with genders same or similar to ours who just use really broad terms, like genderqueer, nonbinary or trans.

i'm very sure that many people who use those very broad labels actually do have genders at least somewhat like ours, but don't like specific labels, don't like the words people have come up with or simply don't know they exist.

and these are all valid reasons to identify as anything other than maverique. but at the same time, it makes it really hard for maveriques (or apora-umbrella people in general) to find community, to find people like us in the sea of men, women, mascs and fems.

i KNOW there are more like us, but i can't connect. this is why maveriques and other aporagender people need visibility, so we can connect to each other and so that more people might find that one of these terms describes their gender.

*i'm aware there are some labels that are very similar or almost synonymous to maverique and that the same experience could be called a pera experience or an outherine experience or an ilyagender experience, but this is a maverique blog.

Gender Buddy: Ilyagender (134/180)

Level: 2 Element: X FRND: 74 PWR: 105

Abilities: Chatter: An excitable string of babble from a Buddy that’s overly excited. Pulse Switch: The overall energetic aura of the Buddy changes its elemental alignment.

Bio: This Buddy wades through shallow water, rooting around for plants to eat using its long beak. It will spend all day moving from place to place, eating, and napping. Other Buddies enjoy hitching a ride on its back if they don't want to touch the water. Every morning, it lets out a loud call to attract other Ilyagender Buddies to come join it for some grazing. It doesn't move very fast.

✦ multiagender can also be called multiagan / multiagie / polyagender / polyagan / polyagie / etc. ✦ multilyagender can also be called multilyaen / multienfil / polyilyagender / polyilyaen / polyenfil / etc. ✦ multiaporagender can also be called multiaporan / multiapory / polyaporagender / polyaporan / polyapory / etc.

✦ multioutherine can also be called multiouman / multioune / polyoutherine / polyouman / polyoune / etc. ✦ multikenochoric can also be called multiomen / multihex / polykenochoric / polyomen / polyhex / etc. ✦ multixenogender can also be called multixenan / multixip / polyxenogender / polyxenan / polyxip / etc.

I listed some examples, but other terms can be used too, as long as they have the same / similar meaning (e.g. multiaphorian instead of multiabinary).

Though I wrote them all as single terms, I suppose they can called multigender [term] and polygender [term] too (e.g. multigender enban instead of multienban). The short forms are just what I thought of first, but upon thinking about it more, I don't see why the longer names wouldn't work too.

You could also shorten them if you want (e.g. multixeno instead of multixenogender).

-✦

Also, I think these terms can include a lot of different experiences (any combination of multigender/polygender and the specific gender label listed), so I won't be listing specific definitions.

For the flags, I followed a format of having multigender stripes on top (dark blue, lighter blue, and orange), with the respective gender's stripes on the bottom. Specifically, I used this multigender flag edit (by @isobug) for the colours (same main colours as the original, just with nicer contrast).

The other flags referenced as just the most common ones (mainly). I did make a second version using an alt nonbinary flag (second flag in the post). I also used my (alt) midbinary, abinary, atrinary, midtrinary, trinary, and aporagender flags.

Depending on the original flag, I combined the top colour with the bottom multigender orange stripe, if they're similar enough visually (like the orange in nonbinary (second flag)). The multigender blue colours were edited a bit, to fit better with the other colours. And for some of them, I simplified the colours, they have as many stripes as in the original flag.

Special mention multitrinary and multiandrogyne, I went with a different style mimicking the original flags. Trinary used diagonal stripes, so I used diagonal stripes on the side here too. Same with androgyne, but with vertical stripes. For the trinary/androgyne colours that are already similar to the multigender colours (so blue and grey), I combined them into the 3 horizontal multigender stripes, and put the rest off to the side. It's a lot like what I did in my butch/futch/femme/+ flags (not that these are butch/futch/femme flags). I just think it's a unique format, and I like how it flows.

[your-bigender-big-brother]

Hii, can i request a combination of these flags pls??

I did my best to make it work! Can you also tell me the names of the flags? I'm assuming the first is bigenderfluix and the third is maybe some kind of ilyagine identity, but I can't find the second flag (This will help me name the file so I can back it up with the rest of my flags.)

[stormy-talks]

I think ilyagender might go into my gender hoard. It's not something I'll use to describe myself, but it fits nicely alongside my other hoarded abinary identities. I just think it's neat!

(I still don't fully understand ilyagender, but I like it either way.)

[PT: ilyagender flag musings /end PT]

Ilyagender is a gender that is tangible and definitely there, however it is not man, woman, neutral, or agender, nor any combination or derivative of any of these genders. It has no connection to any of them. It has no neutrality, femininity, masculinity or lack of gender about it, and that is what defines it.

ilyagender flag musings

There are only eleven or so “basic” colors: white, black, grey, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, brown.

Rule out pink, red and blue for the gender binary. Rule out purple for its use in other flags to mean androgyny.

Rule out white and black for their use in other flags to mean a lack of gender. Rule out grey for its use in other flags to mean partial gender or partial attraction.

That leaves orange, yellow, green, brown.

Incidentally, these are colors that appear in the coining post for outherine and the outherine flag. They both also use a sort of brick red and a slightly purple shade of grey, and the greens it uses are very different from the one on (e.g.) the neutrois flag.

I don’t want to have as many stripes as the outherine flag, though. Orange, yellow and brown are also very similar to one another, particularly orange and brown. That tells me that we have a yellow-green-brown flag, or perhaps yellow-green-orange or orange-green-brown.

The etymology of ilyagender (”there exists a gender”) makes me think of the ∃ symbol, which means “there exists” in mathematics. Perhaps this symbol could appear on the flag in white.

[your-queer-dad]

hi, i think i need some advice and i’m not sure who else to go to,,, this is my first time asking anyone here so i’m a little nervous lol but yeah

anyway i’m ilyagender and i think i have some pretty nasty internalized phobias to work out, like i’ve done some mean things because of it (like outing friends) and i think it’s making me doubt my identity as Not Cis because i don’t have dysphoria.

i’m not sure what i’m saying lmao but do you have any advice on how to deal with that? i wanna be confident in knowing who i am and know how to handle situations where it could come into play

it seems so hard :(

thanks so much

Hey kiddo!

First of all, I completely understand where you're coming from. In a society not meant for us, we do internalise a lot of things and your past mistakes don't define who you are now. Working on internalised bigotry is a process and it takes a lot of time and conscious effort. It won't happen overnight, but small steps every day or stepping back and considering things is the best thing you can do. There isn't a perfect stage of being the best trans person you can be, that's not how it works- we're people after all. But making a conscious effort to acknowledge those biases and putting them to one side is a really good thing to do.

Secondly, not having dysphoria definitely doesn't mean you're cis, despite what others say. Only you can define your identity and how you feel. I personally feel less dysphoria then I used to. It doesn't make you less of a trans person, it's a feeling and not everyone has it.

I think you're doing so well already and I'm really proud of you. Feel free to reach out if you have any problems.
