emigender/solverigender: having a loose or weak connection to a gender or certain qualities.

(gender)prox: a gender that is very near a given gender, but is not strictly so; identifying with certain aspects of a given gender, but not all aspects

(gender)-proximal: a term made to include: [gender]; people who are not necessarily/fully/always [gender] but experience connection to [gender]hood but not [gender]ness.

offgender: a gender in which someone feels most closely represented by a certain gender, but is not that gender.

paragender: a gender in which one is mostly a given gender, but not entirely due to being slightly another gender.

perigender: identifying with a gender, but not as that gender.

prox-/jux- (circabinary or proximal identities): genders and gender expressions that are similar to, or derived from, certain genders.

flex-: a modifier of an orientation term meant to signify that your orientation is somewhat divergent from the usual definition or use of the term, or that it doesn’t exactly fit but it fits more than any other current term.

demigenders are sometimes defined as having a partial connection to a given genders, instead of being partially those genders. [gender] by proxy could also work, but I'm not sure. while for lesbian/gay/homo specifically, there's paraidem- (paraidemsexual, paraidemromantic…).

I smalled the texts because I think you can also use those normal sized affixes, such as proxidentities, emiorientation, para-identification… Just as disidentification and postorientation are used. Also -prox-/proxi(mo)- is an existing/legit word root. -Ap

Is there a term for connecting with certain identities but not identifying as them? Bc I feel a connection with lesbian, genderfluid, female, and panromantic, bc they're all ones I've identified as in the past and they're still a big part of my identity, despite me not identifying as them anymore.

Like for example I'll include myself mentally as a part of the lesbian community, and if I read a post that talks about lesbians I'll include myself, but I don't identify as a lesbian and people referring to me as such feels wrong, it's just because I feel as strong connection to it because of the time I spent identifying as it and because I guess it technically still fits? I just don't feel right identifying as it anymore, and I've found a label I feel more comfortable in.

im not sure ive heard of a term like that, but im sure i/someone can coin it if you want since ngl i relate to that very much !

im sorry that i cant be of more help atm, ill keep on the lookout for something like it but for now maybe some blogs like @gender-archival @mogai-monarchs @imoga-pride or @beyond-mogai-pride-flags might have a term similar to that?
