'''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. |

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. |

One does not have to describe their experiences with this term. It is there for individuals who feel the term will benefit their identity. |
