Deergender is a xenogender in which someone feels an extremely strong connection to adult deer or other adult cervids. One may either strongly identify with them or simply want to incorporate them into their gender to better understand their identity. It was made with neurodivergent individuals in mind, specifically autistic individuals, as well as people who may experience delusions relating to being an adult deer or other adult cervid. However, anyone may identify as deergender.
One who identifies as deergender may refer to themself as a "deerboy," "deergirl," "deen-binary," or simply deergender or another combination, depending on their gender identity.
The Deergender flag takes the colors of the Faunagender flag but more brown to make the flag more like the color of a deer.
History
The Deergender term was created in 2021 by Logan, an alter of the Chaotic System who felt a lot related to males deers, he also have a deer form in the headspace and some partial memories of what he think is like a past life when he was a deer.
After all of that memories that he felt for a long time he was feeling really like part human and part deer, and after searching a identity that can describe fully what he felt, he never find one that fits him, none of the other kingenders fits him and he decide to create the therm Deergender to help people who felt the same way as he felt, and to help him get confortable with his identity.
Flag
The flag take mostly the color a an adult deer, wich is why it's mostly shade of brown,
- The first darker brown represent people who feel like/related to the adults male deers & cervids
- The first brown represent people who feel like/related to adults female deers & cervids
- The first ligther brown represent people who feel like/related to adults deers & cervids

The male deer in the flag can be optional, so it can be replaced by only the horns of a deer/cervid (if peoples feel more related to the horns of a deer/cervids) or by a female deer (for people who feel more related to female deer) but also having none of this if people just want the flag.
