Soooo I’ve been playing Isekai:Slow Life and the monster ladies (and like one guy) that become your family are… 😳

Look at my favs:

Wine loving dragon lady, queen of moths (great yandere potential!)

This succubus that’s my one male family, melancholic spider woman (also yan maybe…) and big strong oni lady 💖

Mind you, I think they could be a bit more monstrous…but honestly not bad for a mobile game (tho please more males. I think there’s like one more male family. Give more men pls)

Obligatory bug wife post

I've been thinking about this since forever, but I want some numbers. How does gender affect whether people do strength exercise? How true is it that men & boys do strength exercise a lot more than women & girls? Do nonbinary people do a lot of strength exercise?

This question is specifically for strength exercise, but that doesn't mean strictly lifting weights in a gym, but includes anything that makes your muscles stronger. Sports may be included if it seems reasonable in your case. Exercises like planks and sit-ups obviously count. And by "regularly" I mean someplace from twice a month and upwards.

feel free to elaborate on if you have consciously considered gender when deciding whether to do strength exercise.

Understanding outherinity

When we talk about outherinity we aren't talking about one strict quality, but rather about a set of different qualities, each with its unique characteristics, that are all distinct from the pre-existent sociegender qualities without being xenogender or xenogender-adjacent nor beyond the concept of gender. This means that all outherinities are:

Comgender

Sociegender

Not neutral, feminine, masculine, androgynous, epicene, etc.

The term was coined around 2019 here.

Outherine genders and qualities can be categorised in different groups depending on how they can be described. This categories were originally named, but last I've decided to give a name to each of these original outherine subtypes + adding a new one.

Categories mentioned by the coiner and later named by me:

Dipherine: It describes any outherine quality born of the uncommon combination of two pre-existing sociegender qualities. That be, any combination between masculinity, femininity, neutrality, androgyny, etc except androgyny itself and femmulinity.

Dipherine (archived)

Itherine: It describes any otherine quality that can be categorized as brand-new with no connection to previous existing qualities, yet not exactly xenine or anything similar.

Itherine (archived)

Some itherine qualities are:

Autonomous/Autonomine(?): Caracterised by gender independence, freedom, self-determination, etc. The main autonomous gender is Autonomique. It's also an umbrella term that includes other itherine qualities like maverine and autonine.

Aliusine: Describes genders that can be characterised as simply "other", as standing apart from pre-existing social gender constructs. The main Aliusine genders are aliagender and troique.

Maverine: Similar to Autonomine, but with a strong inner sense of gender. Originally it also mentioned gender unorthodoxy and unconventionality. The main maverine gender is maverique.

Ilyagine: An "other" quality with no connection whatsoever to pre-existing qualities. A feeling that there's a gender that's distinct from fem, masc, neu, andro and anything derived, similar or related to them. See post on Ilyaginity.

Autonine: Describes gender qualities that are unique to a person or system. Characterised by individuality and a strong sense of personhood/systemhood. Egogenders are considered outherine and itherine because they're unique to a person or system and have no connection to pre-existing gender categories.

Périne or péraine: Describes genders completely disconnected from the masc/fem/neu trinary. The main perine gender is Péra(gender). See post on Pérainity.

Preterine and Umbine: Both refer to brand-new qualities that are still comparable, while distinct, to pre-existent gender qualities. The different between Preterine and Umbine is that, while the former is for outherine qualities adjacent/comparable to abinary qualities, the later is for outherine qualities adjacent/comparable to midbinary qualities. (I decided to coin two different terms for what was originally a same "descriptor" because I think these are two different experiences, or at least I experience them in a different way)

Some preterine and umbine qualities are:

Aineminine : Gender quality comparable to femininity

Ainuline: Gender quality comparable to masculinity

Altraenine: Gender quality that can be described as a "pure " androgyny that exist in opposition to both femininity and masculinity rather than in between them. See post on altraeninity.

Preterine (archived); Umbine (archived)

Categories added by me:

Anderine: Not originally considered by the coiner. It describes any outherine quality born of the combination or that exist in between two or more outherine qualities.

Anderine (archived)

Peraverinity (combination of perinity and maverinity) is an example of an anderine quality.

Technically the combination of outherine qualities with pre-existent qualities could be considered outherine as they would form brand new qualities too, but no term for them has been coined as of yet. Normally people refer to these genders as simply aporine, but all outherine genders are aporine as aporinity as an umbrella term refers to any comgender quality distinct from femininity, masculinity, androgyny, epicenity, effeminacy/effeminity and femmulinity. I'm thinking on coining something, and when I do this part will be edited, but for now they are just "aporine".

(I'll repost the longer explanation about each outherine quality and link it here in the future)

Differences between outherinity and xenogenders: Why are outherine gender not xenine?

[PT: differences between outherinity and xenogenders: why are outherine genders not xenine?]

The main difference between outherine and xenine is that outherine is a sociegender quality/group of qualities. That is outherinities are defined by themselves and no component on their definition can exist outside the concept of gender.

This is because outherinities, being sociegender qualities, have circular definitions. That it's, all the part of their definition define each other. For example: Maverique. The main quality of maverique is maverinity; maverinity is defined around the quality of being maverine. We could go a bit further and define maverinity around an strong sense of gender autonomy, but we cannot go further than "gender autonomy", which basically means "gender distinct/separated from pre-existed concept".

Maverinity cannot exist or be defined without the existence of things and individuals/systems that are maverique or some other maverine gender; but, simultaneously, these genders wouldn't exist if maverinity didn't exist as a possible gender experience.

I like to refer to sociegender qualities, including outherinities, as "abstract", comparing them to "abstract nouns" as the thing they are defined around cannot exist without genders that are that thing. Femininity, masculinity, neutrality, androgyny, outherinities, etc can only be measure through genders and people who are fem/masc/neu/angi/outher/etc, just like happiness can only be meassure and contained by people and other beings who are happy.

On the other hand, xenogenders, some kenous genders, and other similar qualities are defined by and around things, beings, and concept that have an existence independent from the concept of gender, but are being applied to gender concepts. they have a linnear definition, meaning that the ultimate concept they are defined around does not depend on the others to exists.

If we take soporinity as an example, soporine genders are related to the concept of sleep. Its definition is linnear because while soporinity and soporinity need each other and the concept of sleep to exist and be defined, the latter doesn't need either; it has an independent existence outside the concept of gender.

That's why I like to refer to these type of qualities as "concrete",

because I like to compare them to concrete nouns in that the thing they're defined around exist outside gender as a concept (This does not mean, of course, that xenogenders and adjacent gender categories, are only ever defined around concrete concepts. It's xenine qualities themselves that are concrete qualities, but they can be defined around abstract nouns like emotions).

Derived terminology

[PT: derived terminology]

Just like with any other qualities, outherinities can be used to refer to the nature of gender, the core aspect of gender, presentation, expression, alignment, and more.

A person can have an outherine gender without necessarily having an outherine alignment or presentation/expression or have an outherine alignment or presentation/expression without necessarily having an outherine gender.

Likewise, "contradictory" or "paradoxical" genders that are OUIN but not OUIA/ OUIA but not OUIN exist too. For example: Cettreur (OIUN + MIA) and Faunverique (MIN + MVIA [OUIA])

Genders that are outher-alignment, regardless if they are otherwise outherine, are called "outheric". To refer to both outherine and outheric genders we can use the term "outherly".

That's all for now, I'll keep editing this post to add more information or share link to my other post and/or useful resources on outherinity.

(saw your post about your pronouns, I just wanted to use them for you >:3)

This is Avocado!! It is a therian and otherin and I think its types are very interesting. It likes DnD and I'd like to know which race and class are it's favourite. It also likes theatre! Its blog is very interesting, i discovered its blog when a post appeared on my dashboard. I hope it's having a great day/night and that I could make it smile :3

Thank you so so much for this it really did make me smile 😭

To answer your question, it’s reaaally hard for me to pick one favorite race, so a few of my favorites are Dhampirs, Kenkus, tieflings, Yuan-Ti, and Gnolls (homebrew player race).

My favorite class is definitely druid. Everytime I make a character I have to resist the urge to just make them another druid. My favorite subclass is circle of the moon.

Thank you for asking! And this was very affirming to read :D

anyone coming across this and doesn't know trobed... I hope this convinces you to watch community

hello trobed nation !! i have returned with a happy trobed edit because i am tired of the angst WHEN WILL IT END ,,,

i've been thinking about how they complete each other and balance each other out; they were both able to find what they needed in each other and that's so incredibly important to me

also thinking abt how they would quite literally do anything for each other. abed pretends to switch bodies with troy on his one year anniversary with britta because he can see how much he needs if, and how troy was completely willing to stay behind for abed if it meant he'd stop seeing lava. i hate them i hate them i hate th

Do you ever get annoyed at the terms transmasc/fem?

- yes, I'm transandrogynous

- yes, I'm transneutral/otherine/xenic

- yes, I'm genderless

- yes, I'm multigendered

- no, I'm transandrogynous

- no, I'm transneutral/otherine/xenic

- no, I'm genderless

- no, I'm multigendered

- somewhat

- more nuanced

- I'm transmasc or transfem

- see results

im assuming this means people saying you're transmasc/transfem and not being annoyed with the term itself?
