Hairgenders are genders based on hair colors, hair-types, and hair styles regardless of whether you have hair or that hair color/type/style.
History
The term was coined by FANDOM user Kazoous on August 14, 2021. It was coined through this page and has no outside sources except for Kazoous reposting the gender and flag meanings on Tumblr and LGBTQA+ Aminos. Hairgender had previously been coined by an anonymous user who was believed to be a troll on or before March 9, 2019.[1] A flag for the previous coining was created by Sonic through the Tumblr blog mogai-zone on March 10, 2019.[2] On the same date of August 14,2021, changed the flag to the current one, for it to be more inclusive with Type-Hairgenders.
Flag
The top three colors, orange, blonde, brown, and black, represent natural hair colors. The middle color, red, represents natural and dyed red hair. The bottom three colors, blue, green, and purple/pink, represent unnatural hair colors. The white stripes symbolize different strands of hair types/styles from straight, wavy, curly, braided, shaved (but not completely), bun, and bald/other.
There are seperate flags for each color of hairgenders. The reason why the black hairgender's white stripes are going the other direction is because if it was the other way, it could've been easily mistaken for the heterosexual flag.
