Vocorian: An umbrella term for genders related to the feeling of fullness, being strongly gendered, having a gender that is "loud" or takes up a lot of space, and having a gender that feels intense or abundant. It can be used as a label on its own or it can describe any number of genders that fit these descriptions.

This identity is defined by a "loud and proud" sort of vibe, and by strong feelings of genderedness. This may manifest as a hypergender identity, gender multiplicity, or a vibrant and bold gender expression.

Its gender quality is vocorine. It is vocorine-in-nature, or VOCIN, and is considered a vocingender. Its spectrum term is vociaspec. It is not meant to be a xiaspec term, but one's xenogender identity may feel like it is vocorine in nature.

The Latin root voc is reminiscent of other words that use this root such as vocal or invoke, something that is trying to make itself known or heard.

Key words related to the vocorian experience:

Loud

Bold

Colorful

Vibrant

Full

Resonant

Flamboyant

Strong

Emphatic

Brazen

Assertive

Vivid

Lively

Daring

Theatrical

Bombastic

Ostentatious

It's a very flexible term meant to encompass a variety of strongly gendered experiences. I basically wanted kenochoric to have a full and lively counterpart that's not xenine and not connected to any specific gender quality. It's not nonbinary or abinary but it's also not... not those things. It doesn't really get categorized under existing terms but that doesn't make it intrinsically outherine either.

So, to clarify for the term vocorian: Two terms I coined that can be considered vocorian terms are loquite and nixaut, both of which are defined by strong emotions/loudness and strong gendered feeling respectively. A lot of maverinities could be vocorine for sure.

Technically, maverique could be considered a vocorian gender, given that it is defined by a strong inner sense of gender. But I also don't want to take someone else's term and shove it into a random new category. Then again, someone may actually choose to do so. That's up to them. Maverique is a very nice term and I don't want to mess with it if it's not okay to do so.

I'd love some thoughts on this. I want to make this a thing. I want vocorian to expand and become something useful for the community.

Flags for vociaspec (left) and vocingender (right), to go with the newly coined vocorian.
