Dunamgender (also called auctogender and auctoic) is a xenogender that feels powerful and empowering. This gender is associated with the feeling of taking a literal deep breath in the face of injustice and/or discrimination and letting the gender empower oneself to continue with one's life despite challenges that exist in that life.
History
Dunamgender was coined on the LGBTA Wiki's Discord server by Emberid on June 11th, 2021.[1]
Etymology
This term comes from the Ancient Greek words δύναμις (dunamis) meaning 'power',[2] and ενδυναμώνω (endunamoó) meaning 'to empower'.[3] The alternative prefix aucto- comes from the Latin word auctoritas meaning 'authority'.[4]
Flag
The dunamgender flag was created by FANDOM user Contie, on June 12th 2021.[5] The darkest red represents the struggles that one may face due to systemic prejudice, public ignorance and other societal issues; the deep red represents one's daily struggles and pressures; the red represents the strength that one's identity and community gives them; the orange represents one's personal courage and endurance; the dark blue-purple represents one's individuality, values and friendships; the blue represents one's fight for freedom, stability and justice within their own life and/or within society; and the green represents hope, progress, and the continuation of life despite hardship.[6]
An alternative dunamgender flag was created by the same user, 22nd June 2021;[7] the colours have similar meanings to that of the original design.[8]
