Gender spark is a term to describe an unexpected, long-lasting, and/or intense change in one's relationship/connection with gender, whilst the gender itself remains the same. The experience could only be felt one time, occasionally, or even differently. Gender sparks do not have to last a specific time in order for it to classify as a spark. It is up to the individual what they classify as a spark. Gender sparks are not inherently LGBTQ+, as they could be felt by anyone, regardless of their identity.

Identifying an experience as a gender spark is a personal choice. One may have similar experiences, but prefer not to classify them as sparks.

Examples might appear as:

A woman who has a sudden and/or unexpected connection to manhood, while still feeling at place/comfortable as a woman. This would be a masculine spark.
A woman/woman-aligned individual experiencing an intense increase in their connection to womanhood. This would be a feminine spark.
A genderfluid individual identifying as neutrois for longer than expected or for an extended period. This would be a neutral spark.
An individual who occasionally has trouble determining their connection to their gender due to neurodivergence. This would be a neurogenic spark.
A genderflux person jumping from libragender to hypergender. The spark depends on what gender they fluctuate from.

Gender sparks are different from genderspike, because sparks do not feature a base gender, nor do they require a base gender in order to be experienced. It's also different from sparkgender, which is aimed at agender individuals who experience a temporary connection to gender, which then fades back into their original lack of gender. Sparks can be felt in many different ways and by all genders. The spark itself is not incorporated into one's gender label.

History

The term was coined by QMCR, roughly in early 2021. It was coined through this page and has no outside sources.

-"Gender Spark" is a term given to explain '''an unexpected and/or intense change in one's gender.''' One might use "gender spark" as a way to explain their experience with gender identity. This term, however, does not necessarily indicate that one's identity is different to the one they currently use, it simply shows that at times their gender might seem different. A spark could look like the following:

-* *Feeling like one particular gender for a longer period of time, or more intensely than usual, if [[genderfluid]]
-* Identifying as a [[monogender]], then having a sudden experience of a [[multigender]] or vise-versa
-* Having a masculine identity, but temporarily (and unexpectadly) feeling as though it is feminine or vise-versa
+Examples might appear as:
-This is not an identity by itself, thus making it '''different from''' '''spikegender''', '''genderspike''' '''or otherwise''' '''fluid identities'''. How one might use gender sparks to explain their experience of gender could be as follows:
+* A woman who has a sudden and/or unexpected connection to manhood, while still feeling at place/comfortable as a woman. This would be a masculine spark.
-* "I am [[genderflux]], currently going through a [[Libragender|libra]] spark"
+* A [[Female|woman]]/[[Fiaspec|woman-aligned]] individual experiencing an intense increase in their connection to womanhood. This would be a feminine spark.
-* "I am genderfluid, currently in a [[male]] spark" (relating to first point above '''*''')
+* A [[genderfluid]] individual identifying as [[neutrois]] for longer than expected or for an extended period. This would be a neutral spark.
-* "I identify as [[Genderneutral|gender-neutral]] but sometimes have sparks related to feminine genders"
+* An individual who occasionally has trouble determining their connection to their gender due to neurodivergence. This would be a neurogenic spark.
-*"I am a woman-leaning bigender person, but recently I have had a masculine gender spark"
+* A genderflux person jumping from [[libragender]] to [[hypergender]]. The spark depends on what gender they fluctuate from.
