Genders, genders, genders...

HELP!!!! Can someone be Maverique, aporagender, demigirl/boy, ingender, and cis-genderless all at the same time??? I'm trying to figure myself out and so far this is the list of gender identities that I best fit under. I will put definitions below.

Aporagender is a nonbinary gender identity and an umbrella term for "a gender separate from male, female, and anything in between while still having a very strong and specific gendered feeling. (separate from absence of gender.)

Please look up Maverique, it is too long to copy by hand and I don't have time right now.

Demiboy/girl: is identifying as either male or female and agender. (Sort of like the gender version of demisexuality.)

Ingender the belief that an individual should be able to express themselves wihout being labelled.

Cis-genderless not really feeling a strong gender mentality and identifying as the gender you were born as.

Demigender and cis-genderless are legit, but the other three are either redundant (aporagender) or utter nonsense (ingender, maverique).

I believe, for some, they are very definite about who they are. Others, like myself, ebb & flow. Which is why, I say, gender fluid. It's something I had always known myself to be, but, didn't have a term for. Until I learned it in the past year or so. Before that, I would say, I was part tom boy, part girly girl. Later on that I had a balance of male & female energy. Who knows where you'll end up. It's an ever evolving journey.

I'm demigender, so yeah, that works. Used to ID as cisgenderless for a while, before I decided that demigender was better for me, but it's valid.

The others? Not so sure about those. Basically, I agree with Ace of Amethysts.

I guess so, why not? Do any of those labels exclude being polygender ior fluid?

I am so pleased with how peops here seem to easily parse the distinctions between genderless, neutral gender, gendered off the masc./fem. axis, interpolations between any of those, polygendered, and fluid. My sibling seems to be cis-genderless or something like it, though I've been thinking of them as "quoigender." (This is the first time I've seen the term "cis-genderless," but it fits the impression I have of my sibling's relation to gender.)

The rich language we use here also makes me, as a woman, feel very vanilla. (Full disclosure: I have formerly self-identified as "Fluid, meandering around the space between feminine, neutral, and agender," but now think I was just experiencing what happens when an ordinary woman is led to examine gender very closely.) It's a pretty nice break from how I feel in other social contexts, having "mismatched" romantic and sexual orientations, being on the ace continuum and aro continuum, non-monogamist, kinky, very BDSM-curious, and likely neurodivergent. :D

what's the difference between apora gender and maverique???

[Honey_Bear]

I have come to the conclusion that for ME, I don't need a gender label.

Thank you to all of you who have commented!
