Joygender, also known as hapigender, is a xenogender in the emotion system in which one feels a strong connection to joy, happiness, or other pleasant emotions. One could feel that their gender fluctuates while experiencing these emotions, their gender is only felt while experiencing these emotions, or they feel as joy and happiness are an important part of their gender.
Joygender can be used exclusively to describe one’s gender, or to describe how one feels their gender. It can also used in combination with other terms to explain one’s gender. For example, a person could identify as a demigirl, but when feeling joy, they could identify as agender.
