Archaeogender

Archaeogender is a gender related to the act of uncovering additional parts of one’s gender identity that may have been “hidden” or “buried”, similar to how an archaeologist may uncover fossils or ancient artifacts. This is a masculine and neutral leaning gender that can also be influenced by archaeology aesthetics, dusty / faded colors, and shades of orange, yellow, and brown. The feminine counterpart to archaeogender is arcaneagender and the xenic counterpart is arkhaigender.

History
Archaeogender was coined on May 5, 2021 by FANDOM user Snailrat, with the flags being created at the same time.

The name of this gender comes from the word "archaeology", meaning "the study of human history, prehistory, and fossils".

Flag
The two orange stripes at the top and the two brown stripes at the bottom of the flag represent colors commonly associated with masculinity, the sun, and archaeology, while the gold stripes in the center represent the core pieces of one’s gender identity, whether they have discovered all of it or not.

The emblem present in the first flag is of an ancient scroll with a pickaxe and a brush, showing this gender’s connection to archaeology and archaeologist aesthetics.
