In the first coining, gendersafe is a gender based off of the SCP object class “safe”. Usable when your gender feels anomalous, and is well contained. It may feel very clear to you.
In the second coining of this gender, it describes someone whose gender becomes more prominent and/or intense when near or interacting with someone one feels safe around/have built trust with. For example, someone who is usually 100% male, but feels 150% male (hypergender) when one is interacting with a very trusted/safe-feeling individual, or someone who is usually agender may feel like a demigirl. The term was coined with trauma survivors and those who struggle to feel safe in mind, but can be used by anybody who shares this experience.
Another possible definition for the term is someone whose gender changes when near or interacting with someone one feels safe around/have built trust with. For example, someone who is usually female may feel neutrois when they are interacting with a very trusted/safe-feeling individual.
The distinction between the two definitions can be distinguished with the terms gendersafeflux (second definition) and gendersafefluid (thrid definition) if needs be.
