is there a word for the longer you label yourself with a gender, the more inaccurate it seems? like you start to realize places it doesnt fit? and is there a word for starting to feel a gender when you hear about it, if like if someone talks about being agender u start feeling a bit agender even if u arent agender to begin with, and the more they talk about it the more agender you feel? and vis versa being true, so they talk about not being a boy and you start feeling less like a boy?

For the first one, there’s verangender, a gender that seems to shift/change the moment it’s identified, and for the second one, it could be audiogender, a gender where the more you hear about a certain gender, the more you actively become that gender, which I’m sure could work the same way around!

Is there a name for a gender based around energy/movement/electricity?

There’s energender, a gender that seems to be like a ball of energy, shifting and moving rapidly and not being able to be quite pinned down, ferrogender, a xenogender that is highly related to magnetic energy or magnets, and fulgender, a xenogender thats animalistic and otherworldly with a strong connection to electricity!

Hi! I’m genderfluid! I know it’s not that uncommon but I need some advice. My girlfriend wants to use gender-neutral relationship labels instead of bf or gf. But I don’t want people to question her about me and I’d rather just be her boyfriend and she feels bad for calling me that since not a boy. What should I do?

It’s okay! First of all, if your girlfriend wants to use gender-neutral terms for herself, then that’s fine. If you want to use masc-coded terms for yourself, that’s fine too. But you both can not push language on one another that the other doesn’t want. If you want to be her boyfriend, then that should be fine even if you are not a boy. I would recommend talking to her and trying to explain your side and set some boundaries. Wish you the best of luck!

How do people know what their gender is? I’m asking out of genuine curiousity, I fully support all gender identities, but I’m really wondering how people feel that sort of thing, and I was hoping maybe you could explain. I see some things on here about it being related to what one feels comfortable with, is that a special kind of comfort with a certain “thing” or the most comfort or is it just something else entirely and is that just the language used for lack of more specific language existing?

Best way I can describe this is the same way as someone knows if they’re male, female, or any other “common” gender. It’s a bit hard to explain since language is a bit limited on that area, but our genders are a connection that we just know. I hope that this was helpful, even if it’s worded weird.

I’m having serious issues identifying mg gender… I was assigned a female but I find myself often times feeling as if my gender is outside of myself, outside of my body and is more of a free flowing thing that I can quite reach because it is… Well it feels almost like its up with the stars. I’m confused and not sure what to call this…

This seems like it can be a mix of aethergender, a gender that feels very wide, commanding, breathtaking and powerful, stargender, the gender of a star/a gender related to stars, and possibly caelgender, a gender aesthetically connected to space. I hope this is helpful!

Hiya, I’m the anon who asked about why OS/OR is fine but being attracted to animals isn’t. Thank you so so much for the explanation, but I’m still a bit confused as to why it’s wrong to be attracted to animals as long as you don’t interact with them sexually. I’ve never seen anyone address this.. and I’ve always been confused. Again, thank you, I’m very grateful!!

While I can understand where you are coming from, a general reason that zoophilia is not okay and os/or is okay is that with animals, they can’t consent and if they could, it’d be wrong for similar reasons why being attracted to children is wrong, even if there is no attraction. While objects can’t necessarily verbally consent, they are able to, in a sense, communicate with their partner. To be honest, outside of this, the mods and I have nothing else to add so please go to an objectum focused blog to ask about this type of thing, but we hope this helps!
