Gender spark is a term coined to describe an unexpected, long-lasting and/or intense change in one's gender experience. A spark typically feels like one's connection or relationship with gender temporarily or significantly alternates, rather than the gender itself changing (though there may be cases where one's gender is impacted). 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.
- 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". No page outside the wiki further explains this label.
