Atzema'it (עצמאית) is a Jewish-[[Exclusive Identities|exclusive]] gender term for [[Gender|genders]] that are not part of any other gender within Jewish culture in any form. The gender may not even be referred to as ''not'' being part of it. It is more than just detached or not part of the [[Gender Systems|gender collection]], but completely separate. It is its own definition and collection by itself, independent of any proximity to other genders or their opposite. |

This gender doesn't have to be [[outherine]]. It can be any [[Gender Alignment|alignment]]. It can have any presentation and any quality. The only thing needed is that it's independent, a catch-all of sorts for any gender experience that is separate from any other gender in Jewish culture, in whatever way that experience may be. |

It is important to understand that the Jewish gender categories are ''not'' a [[Binary Genders|binary]] or surrounding a binary. The idea of "[[Non-Binary|non-binary]]" is completely inapplicable, not just because the term is exclusive to cultures with a binary, but because the idea of being 'neither' or 'not' anything doesn't accurately describe what a maverique gender would be. The point of a maverique gender in Jewish culture would be that it not only doesn't fit any other definition, but also exists in spite of not fitting any other definition. All Jewish genders are defined by what they ''are'', not what they aren't. This is why saying "Atzema'it is not being any other Jewish gender" would be inaccurate. |
