Gender spark is a term coined to describe an unexpected, long-lasting and/or intense change in one's gender. The experience itself could only be felt one time, or occasionally, depending on how someone chooses to use the term.

Clarification information

One does not have to describe their experiences with this term. It is there for individuals who feel the term will benefit their identity.
Gender sparks do not have to last a specific time in order for it to classify as a spark. That is a personal choice.
An individual could be any gender and experience a spark that differs - a spark does not alternate or invalidate one's current identity unless the person wishes.
The experience itself does not count as an LGBTQ+ orientation. Sparks could be felt by anyone, regardless of their identity.

History

The term was coined roughly in early 2021. The user which invented the label goes by "QMCR", and is currently working on a flag(s). No page outside the wiki further explains this label.

+== Clarification information ==
-'''Gender spark''' is a term to describe an unexpected and/or intense change in one's gender. This term was not created to invalidate or alter one's current label, and may be used by any [[cisn't]] person to explain ones experience of gender.
-This experience may not affect everyone or anyone in particular. The term was coined for individuals who feel they want or need to describe an experience with the term.
+* One does not have to describe their experiences with this term. It is there for individuals who feel the term will benefit their identity.
+* Gender sparks do not have to last a specific time in order for it to classify as a spark. That is a personal choice.
+* An individual could be any gender and experience a spark that differs - a spark does not alternate or invalidate one's current identity unless the person wishes.
-Some examples of experiences that may be described as a gender spark include:
+* The experience itself does not count as an LGBTQ+ orientation. Sparks could be felt by anyone, regardless of their identity.
-*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 vice-versa.
-* Having a masculine identity, but temporarily (and unexpectedly) feeling as though it is feminine or vice-versa.
-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:
-*"I am [[genderflux]], currently going through a [[Libragender|libra]] spark."
-*"I am genderfluid, currently in a [[male]] spark."
-*"I identify as [[Genderneutral|gender-neutral]] but sometimes have sparks related to feminine genders."
-*"I am a woman-leaning bigender person, but recently I have had a masculine gender spark."
