Kelkigender is a xenogender that feels stationary but eager to change or even disappear, which may be associated with a sense of nostalgia for childhood or a wish to feel smaller. This term could be used alone or in conjunction with another term. For example, someone could be female and kelkigender, and feel that their womanhood is childlike at heart, or they could simply have a gender that feels that way without being tied to another term. A kelkigender person could already feel that they have a small gender, or that they have a gender that yearns to be smaller.
Kelkigender people can use any pronouns and do not necessarily have to fit any boxes other than using this term specifically, though like with other xenogenders, a kelkigender person will likely consider themself non-binary and/or transgender. Neither of these are necessary accompanying terms.
History
The name kelkigender is derived from the root word "Kelky", the nickname of YouTuber Kayco, the first to identify with this term. It was coined by the Fandom user Childsandwich, timur1312 on Tumblr.
Flag
The original kelkigender pride flag was developed by wiki user Childsandwich on May 10th, 2021. The two upper stripes are the same general color to represent the unity between the two feelings they represent - the lighter green stripe, at the very top, is pastel to represent childhood and therefore a feeling of being small; the darker green stripe below it represents adventure as it is the color of forest leaves. The middle stripe, which is black, represents the agender, neutrois, genderless, gendervoid, etc. people who use the term, as it symbolizes a void of gender, but also, frustration with gender altogether. Below that is the purple stripe, whose color represents a mix of pink and blue, the shades most often associated with men and women - therefore, it alludes to men and women who use this term, or femininity and masculinity, or a mix of the two, and those who are partially male and/or female. Finally, the yellow stripe represents non-binary people altogether who use the term.
