Gender Sparks

"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 was not created to invalidate or alter one's current label, it can be used in whatever way an individual best sees. Some examples may be:

• *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 unexpectedly) feeling as though it is feminine or vise-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 libra spark"
• "I am genderfluid, currently in a male spark" (relating to first point above *)
• "I identify as 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"

The list continues as this term was created for (but not limited to) cisn't individuals.
