Disaligned Gender Spectrum

The Disaligned Gender Spectrum is a variety of terms specific to headmates within a system who are of a differing gender in the innerworld than the body. There are a variety of sub-labels within the Disaligned Gender Spectrum. This may cause confusion to those who question the headmate's gender, as it may be complicated to explain to singlets.

Examples of sub-labels include:


 * A cisgender man whose innerworld body is male, and in the outer world they are in an transgender male body. Calling themselves a cis man would cause confusion to those who know they are AFAB and/or transgender, since their inner identity and how they view themselves doesn't align with how they may present. In this case, the label of Disaligned cisgender male may apply best.
 * A nonbinary transgender person whose innerworld body presents as female, and in the outer world their body is that of a cisgender woman could use the label of Disaligned nonbinary.
 * A transgender man whose innerworld body is AFAB but has transitioned, whose outerworld body is that of a transgender woman could use the label of Disaligned transgender.

The Disaligned Gender Spectrum has a multitude of other microlabels, and is able to be readily tailored to the needs of any system member.
