Good Happy Morning everyone! Happy 20th day of 🌈❤️🧡💛💚 !

Today, we are highlighting Genderq***r.
So, what exactly is Genderq***r?
Well, Genderq***r is an umbrella term with a similar meaning to non-binary. It can be used to describe binary cisgender and transgender people within the LGBT+ community who feel that they have a q***r or non-normative experience with their gender. It can also be used to describe any gender identities other than man and woman, thus outside of the gender binary. Genderq***r identities can include one or more of the following: A combination of genders Neither man nor woman (genderless, Agender, Neutrois) Moving between genders (Gender-fluid, Oriengender) Third gender or other-gender Those who do not or cannot place a name to their having an overlap or blurred lines between gender identities.

Some genderq***r individuals may use the term as they're only identifier, and some may use it in conjunction with another identifier such as androgyne, trans, bigender, etc. Remember that s*x and gender are two different things, and some genderq***r people not only recognize that but use that as part of their identification. Meaning they might identify as a male or female as well as being genderq***r.

Genderq***r does fall under the non-binary umbrella and can be the same thing, but for many gender q***r people, it is two separate realities. For many people non-binary simply means that you do not fit into the binary gender structure. We're at genderq***r can be a gender identity unto itself. So, although some people use these terms interchangeably, please do not think that all people do or that you've necessarily can or should when speaking with a genderq***r individual. Genderq***r is also different from gender-fluid for many people where genderq***r is an identity in and of itself gender-fluid simply means you flow between different gender identities.

As with many people under the non-binary umbrella, one of the main ways that genderq***r people differentiate themselves is through their gender expression. As we have discussed in the other post route this month Gender expression is anything that you can physically see, be it hairstyle makeup clothing or any other physical adornment. For some people Genderq***r is seen as more of a political statement as opposed to non-binary. The thing that makes this identity so unique is that it is different for everyone.
Not everyone who uses this identity will feel the same way and express themselves the same way. The term genderq***r was coined in the 1990s. However, the groundwork was laid in 1987 by Sandy Stone in The Empire Strikes Back: A Posttrans*xual Manifesto. In it, Stone wrote that trans folk needed to “speak from outside the boundaries of gender” to challenge discrimination. Leslie Feinberg in a 1992 pamphlet argued that transgender took on a broader and often times more political meaning tournament home there were many other activists they were laying the groundwork to coin better terms of expression for gender identity. This is an interesting topic, and we suggest that you study it on your own, but for our purposes, we will skip 1995 when the word genderq***r first appears in print.
The activist Riki Anne Wilchins wrote in the newsletter “In Your Face” that the the fight against gender oppression was political and: “...about all of us who are genderq***r: diesel d***s and stone butches, leatherqueens and radical fairies, nelly f**s, crossdressers, inters*xed, trans*xuals, transvestites, transgendered, transgressively gendered, inters*xed, and those of us whose gender expressions are so complex they haven't even been named yet.”
That same year, the word appeared in a newspaper. Wilchins was quoted in The Washington Times, imploring LGBTQ+ folks to come out. “It's high time ‘genderq***rs’ came out of the closets, out of the shadows and out of the margins.” From there, the term proliferated in zines, activist flyers, and in publications. With the adaptation and proliferation in the world wide web, the term genderq***r spread faster and became more widely adopted than it ever could have in a shorter period of time than by any other means. The In 1997, the listserv SPHERE was created, specifically for “people who identify as both genders, or no gender, or third-gendered,” while support groups like the “Genderq***r Boyzzz” emerged to support an array folks with different genders. From then til now, the term evolved from including simple categories like agender and androgynous to more complex terms like demigender and amalgagender.

Let us now look at the genderq***r flag! (Pictured below, as always!)

The flag was created in June 2011 by Marilyn Roxie in order to create visibility for the genderq***r community and related identities. The flag was originally intended to represent all non-binary and genderq***r people, but as the genderq***r community grew the flag became synonymous with "genderq***r" specifically, leaving many non-binary people to not feel represented by the flag. In 2014, a non-binary flag was created to fix this oversight. Flag Meaning Lavender: Mixture of “blue” and “pink”. Represents androgyny, and people who identify as a mixture of female and male. White: Represents agender people. Dark Chartreuse Green: The inverse of lavender. Represents people who identify outside of and without reference to the gender binary. The three colors are not meant to indicate that any of these identities are entirely separate or opposites of one another conceptually; they are all interrelated as well as key concepts in their own right, and there are more concepts and variation of gender and s*xuality present that tie into genderq***r identities than can be listed here. The purpose of the flag is to help create visibility for the genderq***r community and related identities.

There are two other flags that have been created. One by ***rPotato and one by transfeminine on DeviantArt There have been instances of genderq***r individuals in video games and literature as well as some notable real world figures Maia Kobabe is a q***r author and illustrator who is known for publishing comics based on themes of identity, s*xuality, anti-fascism, fairy tales, and homesickness. Kobabe’s published comics include Tom O'Bedlam (2015), The Thief's Tales #1 and #2, and The Non-Binary Bunny. Kobabe has additionally published a graphic novel memoir called Gender Q***r: A Memoir. Kobabe refers to e/em/eir pronouns. Astolfo is a q***r character from Fate Series. Gender means nothing in the face of Astolfo's cuteness!

But there's really no way Astolfo could be a girl. As is always the case, there is more to this group of people than could ever be put in a post!

We hope that you will continue to do more research, educate yourself, and grow in understanding + acceptance! After all, that is what we are all about here at IFS.

Thank you for stopping by and reading our post today, and as always, Happy Pride Month, everyone!

Good Morning everyone!

Welcome to day 19 of 's post! Thank you for visiting us again so we could celebrate Pangender people today!

Pangender, is a multigender non-binary gender identity which refers to a vast and diverse multiplicity of genders in the same individual that can extend infinitely, always within the person's own culture and life experience, and may or may not include unknown genders. A pangender person may shift between identities over time or feel as though they have one all encompassing identity that is static/unchanging.

Pangender is very expansive and unspecific, meaning that there are countless genders with no maximum limit. Being pangender is feeling an entire infinite gender spectrum that is possible for an individual to have. The pangender experience can go beyond the current knowledge of genders.

Pangender individuals can feel gender fluidity or not. For example, a pangender person can also experience genderflux, flowing from pangender to agender: pangender demipangender agender.

Being pangender does not require that one knows everything about all the established genders, just that their identity includes countless genders simultaneously or over time.

Pangender can be (simultaneously or over time):

A person who is every gender it’s possible for them to be.
A person who is the entire gender spectrum they can be.
A person who is all genders available to them.
A person who is an immense number of genders.
A person who is all genders within their own culture and life experience.
A person who has infinite genders within their own culture and life experience.
A person whose gender experience goes beyond the known genders within their own culture and life experience.
A person who is binary genders (female and male) + known genders + unknown genders within their own culture and life experience.
A person who is polygender and more genders within their own culture and life experience.
Pangender is not the same as polygender because polygender can be finite in number, however, pangender falls under the polygender umbrella since polygender means the feeling of two or more genders.

Pangender is sometimes used interchangeably with omnigender, but it can be considered different from omnigender, because while pangender individual simply says they are all genders, an omnigender person might:

Identify with almost but not exactly all genders.
Use the genders as "building blocks" to their identity and consider it to be one gender.
Are not ambivalent about their gender like most pangender people are...

Panflux is a gender identity consisting of pangender + genderflux, but you may want to look into this more on your own, as there is much more to be learned on these sub-topics. As always, we hope to give you a good foundational knowledge, a bit of ground work to work with; so to speak. But we always encourage you to seek out more knowledge whenever you can!

Moving on to the flag! (Pictured below, as per usual!)
The Pangender Flag It is both vertically and horizontally symmetrical. It has a pastel theme with 4 different colors. The outermost color is yellow, followed by pastel salmon, light pink, and then white for the single inner stripe...
When it comes to the meaning, the yellow: gender without reference to the binary; Light red: transition to genders related to female and male; Light violet/pink: combination of female and male; White: blend of all these genders; The colors are very light because white is the combination of all colours.

And when it comes to the word itself, the Greek prefix “pan” refers to “everything” or “all”, which we have mentioned before in previous posts. Therefore, pangender means “having all genders it’s possible to have” and other similar definitions.

We thank you for reading and learning with us, and we hope you will continue to do so throughout the rest of this wonderful month. Happy Pride Month everyone and let's support people of ALL genders! We here at IFS certainly do!
