Vestigender is a term for when somebody feels that their gender changes because of their Gender Presentation, which may include the style or type of their clothing. It is a type of Mutogender where the change is inspired by clothing. For example, one could feel that they are a Male, but their presentation changes to feminine and they then identify as Female. It could apply to xenogenders where one's gender becomes connected to their clothing as well. It is a subset of genderfluid or genderflux.
History
Vestigender was coined on January 5th, 2022 by FANDOM user CandySkyez.[1] A poll to decide the flag was held shortly after.[2]
Flag
The vestigender flag was decided through a poll on the LGBTA Wiki.[3] It consists of a blue stripe symbolising masculinity, a pink stripe symbolising femininity, two purple stripes symbolising neutrality/androgyny, and a larger gray stripe symbolising other presentations. A moon is in the middle, symbolising the different "phases" of vestigender identities, influenced by gender presentation.
Etymology
The name comes from the latin word "vestis", which means "clothing", or "clothe".
