Etymology
The term xeniserae is an abbreviation based upon the words “intersex”, “enby”, “cisn’t”, “queer” and “creative”. This term was created to make an English plural noun to refer to gender minorities (as well as intersex individuals who wish to be included) collectively. The singular would be xenisera. Term coined by Gent (Gender-Resource), 2020.
Flag
The flag was created at the same time as this term, with the first appearance of the flag being this post. The flag consists of seven horizontal stripes of the same size. From top to bottom, the stripes are light blue, violet, light purple, white, lavender, pink and plum. The flag has the following meanings:
Flag by Gent (Gender-Resource), 2020.
Also called Gender Expansive.
Etymology
From English, literally meaning “an experience relating to or involving the imagination or original ideas”. The term was coined by Dr. Diane Ehrensaft, a developmental and clinical psychologist in the San Francisco Bay Area and the Director of Mental Health and founding member of the Child and Adolescent Gender Center in 2011.

There are two flags associated with the term gender creative.
[[[((((Suicide TW))))]]] The oldest flag I could find was created by Leslie Ellen Krause, tumblr user sorcerykid, in 2015. (Note: searching Leslie’s deadname, which will not be given here, reveals they are still alive.) Here’s the meaning they ascribe to the flag’s stripes and colors:
The pride flag is constructed of two exterior lavender stripes in opposition, a composite of the pink and blue stripes found in the transgender pride flag and an interior white stripe one-fifth the proportion to the remainder. The lavender stripes representing the blurring of binary gender roles and expectations whereas the white stripe represents the questioning of such social norms.
In addition to the above, Leslie posted the flag with a concise color meaning on each stripe. The top stripe represents those who are female-identified, the bottom stripe represents those who are male-identified, and the center white stripe represents freedressing. Freedressing was described by Leslie like so:
freedressing is the tacit acknowledgement that clothing is free of gender. In the broadest sense, it opposes the policing of masculine and feminine gender expression and the systematic indoctrination of binary gender roles and expectations. It subverts the stereotypes and defies the labels of Western fashion.
Note: Leslie is very open about their fetishism in adult online spaces, which will not be linked to here, stating they are interested in ageplay, as well as a leggings and panty fetishism. Since the term gender creative is most often used to refer to children and young adolescents, I did not feel it was appropriate or in good taste to use Leslie’s flag for this post, even though it was the first-known flag for the term. This note serves to inform those who may not be comfortable using their flag to represent themselves upon learning this information, for any reason.
A second gender creative flag, featured above in this post, was created by a LGBTA Wikia user going by “Willow” in 2020, however, the individual that created and added it to the page is user cryptocrew. The flag consists of three horizontal lines, that, from top to bottom, are blue, pink and purple. In the center are four hexagons nested within each other that are yellow, green, dark grey and light grey, respectively. In the center of the hexagons are a rhombus, and finally, a square, which are light red and dark red, respectively. In the words of “Willow”:
The light blue, pink, and purple represents children/youth and gender roles/the gender binary, yellow represents genders outside the binary, green represents unique genders, dark grey represents being void of gender, light grey represents fluidity, and the red boxes represent leaving the box/thinking outside the box.
The original image of the flag is small and pixelated, so I created a high-quality version that is being used in this post. Enjoy!
i may not be able 2 start doing graffiti outside but i can at least try inside,,,so have this i drew ft. a nb butterfly because butterflies and moths might as well be trans icons
also! terfs and transmeds/truscum are not welcome here cause you’re stinky as hell.
Etymology
From English, an abbreviation of “Boy”, “Girl”, “Neutral” and “Other”, which is frequently represented by an “X”. It appears that this term was coined by LGBTA Wikia user shinsouboi in an early version of the article Afluaflugender in 2020.
Flag
Prior to this post, there was no known flag for the term binx. As a result, I created one to represent the concept. The term breaks sex into a gender quaternary system representing the traditional binary, a neuter/genderless/androgyne/epicene sort of “third sex” and an unspecific, abinary fourth designation existing beyond the aforementioned pre-established gender trinary.
To keep the flag simple, I assigned a stripe to each letter of the term binx and added a central, white stripe. There are five horizontal stripes from top to bottom, all of the same size:
Flag by Gent (Gender-Resource), 2020.
Also called fluandrogyne.
Etymology
The term appears to have been coined by LGBTA Wikia user slicedmelon in 2020. The etymology of the term is described by the coiner like so:
The word gendersaros comes from the word saros, meaning a period of time used to predict an eclipse. An eclipse is a mix of masculine and feminine energies, thus gendersaros being an androgynous genderfluid.
“Saros” is from Ancient Greek. More about the concept can be found here.
Flag
The flag was created anonymously in 2020. It is a combination of the genderfae, genderfaun and androgyne pride flags. The creator decided to assign no meaning to it, instead wanting the community to assignment meaning based upon their experiences.
Etymology
Apeirongender appears to
have been coined by LGBTA Wikia user atwistedpotato, 2020. The etymology is given by the coiner as so:
Apeiron (pronounced appear-on) is a Greek word meaning “(that which is) unlimited,” “boundless”, “infinite”, or “indefinite” from ἀ- a-, “without” and πεῖραρ peirar, “end, limit”, “boundary”, the Ionic Greek form of πέρας peras, “end, limit, boundary”.
Flag
The flag was uploaded at the same time as the page was created by the presumed coiner. The image from the Wikia is pretty low quality, so I replicated it in a higher quality for this post. The coiner states that the flag has the following meanings:
Also called Alfu.
Etymology
The etymology of the term is unknown. However, “Aflu” may refer to the Aromanian verb meaning “I discover”, “I learn“ and “I meet”. This term appears to have been coined by LGBTA Wikia user shinsouboi in 2020.
Flag
The Afluaflugender flag seems to have been created by LGBTA Wikia user rosewatera in 2020. The flag is based off of the description given in the “flag” section of the Wikia entry. The original image was poor quality, so I made a high quality version using the same colors and pattern. The coiner states that the flags has the following meanings:
Since the official flag has ten stripes, I would like to include a simplified version that I created myself, which is below the cut. The color meanings and positions are the same.
[Image description: the official maverique pride flag, designed by Vesper H. (2014). The flag consists of three horizontal stripes of the same size. From top to bottom, the stripes are yellow, white, and orange. End description.]
Maverique comes from the English word ’maverick’ meaning ‘an unorthodox or independent-minded person’ or ‘unorthodox’ and the French suffix ‘-ique’ meaning ‘similar to’ or ‘like.’ Pronounced mav-uh-REEK or mav-REEK.
Maverique was coined on June 1st 2014 by Vesper H. (they/them), also known as @queerascat on tumblr. Their definition for maverique at the time was “a non-binary gender characterized by an unconventional and unothodox internal sense of self and the interrelationship between that sense of self and society.” They created the word maverique because they had been using the word neutrois to describe their gender, but found they incongruencies between their gender and the neutrality of neutrois; they wanted a word that did not imply neutrality, so they made it themself.
There were some criticisms that maverique seems too similar to ‘third gender‘ and being too reliant on “conventional / modern [Western binary] gender.” This led to Vesper reworking the definition to keep maverique from being defined by “outside conventional gender.”
Maverique is currently defined as “a gender characterized by autonomy and inner conviction regarding a sense of self that is entirely independent of male/masculinity, female/femininity or anything which derives from the two while still being neither without gender nor of a neutral gender.” It is open to people of any culture, race, or ethnicity. Maverique is specifically a gender identity and is not related to one’s sex, dysphoria, or transitioning status.
Maverique is a gender that places emphasis on individuality and autonomy, meaning that there is no specific way of dressing or acting that is associated with being a maverique.
On June 15th 2014, Vesper posted the maverique pride flag (seen above). There are titles and language specifically for maveriques, but using them is not required to be maverique nor inherently used by all maveriques.
[Image description: a proposed maverique gender symbol inspired by astrological symbols for planets. The entire symbol is one color (black). The symbol consists of a ring with a vertical line down the middle, with a dot in the center of the line and ring. Perpendicular to the line in the ring, there are two horizontal lines with one coming off either side of the ring. Each horizontal line has a tail going in an opposite direction, wrapping about one third of the way around the symbol. The tail on the left line goes up and to the right and the tail on the right goes down and to the left. End description.]
This is a suggested astrologically-inspired gender symbol for maveriques, suggested by now deactivated tumblr user @sneer in February 2017. The maverique symbol incorporates the sun symbol (a ring with a dot in the center), which had been previously suggested as a maverique symbol but criticised in that the sun is associated with binary genders in different cultures. The comet symbol was also suggested as a maverique symbol and criticised as it is also used as a general non-binary symbol.

Nightgender flag for an alter of mine since we couldn’t find any.
Nightgender: Agender but in place of gender, you’re filled with darkness.
Originally it was going to be 12 stripes (after the 12 hours of night) but it ended up looking weird so I just changed it to six, the colors are based after the different colors of night.
So me then and great great work with this!!
