Mandogender

Mandogender is a xenogender and specifically a musicagender which is based around mandolins and their music. It has two possible definitions:


 * 1) A gender based around mandolins, their aesthetics, and at the core, mandolin music and sounds. Since every instrument can be made to produce different kinds of sounds, this could be a diverse gender experience, but the general aesthetic of mandolin music, bright yet light-hearted bluegrass tones among other musical aesthetics, is the core of this gender.
 * 2) A subset of genderpiano where someone's gender is affected by playing and/or listening to the mandolin. One may feel their gender more strongly or feel a different gender/gender identity entirely when playing or listening to the mandolin. For example, one may be a demiboy normally, but be juxera when playing to and/or listening to the mandolin.

Someone who is mandogender could also be both of those definitions as well as either one of them.

History
The term mandogender was coined as part of a series of new musicagenders based on instruments on March 8, 2021 by FANDOM user Reign of the queerios.

Flag
The mandogender flag was also designed by Reign of the queerios on March 8, 2021. The orange/golden color scheme of the flag represents the traditional colors of mandolins, and the bright yet rich shades of each orange color represent the bright yet full and cheery tones most commonly associated with mandolin music, while the blue stripe represents the bluegrass aspect and aesthetic of mandolin music.
