Arithmogender or arithmagender is a mathgender in which one feels as though their gender is best described through a certain number or is connected to a number in some way. This could be any number, including decimals, fractions, positive, and negative numbers.
Unlike numbergender, arithmogender does not include a connection to mathematical operations.
History and Flag
The date of origin of the term is unknown, although multiple sources allege that Tumblr user mogai-archive coined the term.[1][2]
The first arithmogender flag was created by DeviantArt user Pride-Flags on September 13, 2015.[3] The flag is stylized to resemble a chalkboard with writing on it.
An alternate arithmogender flag was created by FANDOM user Bluesprucedude on May 17, 2021. The flag has black stripes arranged like an absolute value or |x| sign. Rather than a letter or a number in the center, however, the flag has a red drop, similar to the periods used by Abd-al-Fattah Bin Abd-al-Rahman al-Banna al-Dumyati in his 1887 treatise الأنتخاب فى علم الحساب, or The Best of Arithmetic,[4] meant to imply that the absolute value of arithmogender is its connection to both the universal omnipresence and cultural history of mathematics.
