On July 18, 2020, Tumblr user gender-resource wrote a post on the mathematical breakdown of complexgender.<ref>[https://gender-resource.tumblr.com/post/623953193426173952/proposed-complexgender-pride-flag-complexgender Tumblr post explaining the mathematical philosophy behind complexgender.]</ref> They wrote that
<blockquote>''a complex number, which is defined as a number with a real and imaginary portion…can be expressed using the general form ''a+b''i. The variable ''a'' represents real numbers, where ''b''i represents imaginary numbers. The variable i is equivalent to the sqrt ''[square root]'' of -1, or i^2 being equivalent to -1. ''b'' exists on an axis of imaginary numbers and exists on axis of real numbers. If plotted...a point can be made where ''(a,b''i) occurs.
<blockquote>''To relate this to gender, imagine that variable ''a'' is one gender and variable ''b''i is another. At ''(a,b''i), the point resulting from the two, is the Complexgender that is defined above.''</blockquote>
