Mosaic is a gender identity and an altersex identity altersex umbrella and the [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] umbrella term of feeling a mixture of masculine, feminine, and xenogendered or xenic. The gender identity itself is based upon the altersex identity salmacian, and it can be described as when one's altersex identity is salmacian or similar due to their gender identity. It is different from salmacian because anyone of any gender or gender identity can identify as salmacian. With the case of mosaic, it's specifically a tandem identity of gender identity definited by masculinity, femininity, and xeninity with the altersex desire of having "mixed" or "double" genitalia or secondary sex characteristics. One's sense of their being altersex is directly derived from their gender identity, and the two are inherently rooted in each other. |

Mosaic is a gender identity under the [[Non-Binary]] umbrella term of feeling a mixture of masculine and feminine, as well as the [[Xenogender]] umbrella. You do not need to be [[Transgender]] to be Mosaic, but it can share similar feelings with the desire to transition. People who are Mosaic can be happy without transitioning and have no feeling to do so, while others can fall into both Trans and Mosaic. |
|||
In the case of mosaic individuals, their xeninity is also related directly to their altersex identity, as their xenininity is in relation to the myth of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermaphroditus Hermaphriditus], who literally embodied androgyny and being altersex/salmacian, as the myth goes that he "became two-sexed" after being fused with the nymph Salmacis. That myth translates to mosaic individuals through the feeling that their soul and gender, and not their bodies, are a fusion between xeninity, masculinity, and femininity, and translates into their altersex identity as wanting to be "two-sexed". |
|||
Someone who is Mosaic would identify as the feeling of being born [[intersex]] without actually being born so. This gender is based on individuals who wish they were born intersex or relate to the concept of intersex. This can vary from simple genetic makeup of one's sex chromosomes, to one's hormone levels, to their genitalia being a combination of both male and female functional organs, or a combination of all of them. One does not need to feel specifically masculine or feminine or a combination of both, rather it's the feeling of being this gender in a spiritual form: One's soul or mind is intersex, while their body differs genetically, causing distress. |

In the form of [[Xenogender]], it is the feeling of connection to the myth of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermaphroditus Hermaphriditus] (god of androgyny, effeminate people, and intersex), the son of Aphrodite and Hermes, who was fused with the nymph Salmacis to become "two-sexed" as he was called. One feels the story of that God relates to them, they are that myth or share very close ties to that myth. It's the feeling of one's soul being a fusion of two beings, one masculine/feminine/netural/xenic, and the other being different. For example, if someone feels their soul has a masculine portion, it can be fused with a xenic portion or feminine portion and so on. |

I am nervous creating this page, but I do really hope this makes sense and is something other people can be happy with. I personally created this term as no other label truly fit me, but this finally explains who I am, what I am, and what I wish to be. I do not mean to be offensive in any way, and I hope it helps out others who are the same as me :) if you wish to expand on this label, please do so! |

Revision as of 08:09, 12 April 2021
Mosaic is a gender identity and an altersex identity altersex umbrella and the non-binary umbrella term of feeling a mixture of masculine, feminine, and xenogendered or xenic. The gender identity itself is based upon the altersex identity salmacian, and it can be described as when one's altersex identity is salmacian or similar due to their gender identity. It is different from salmacian because anyone of any gender or gender identity can identify as salmacian. With the case of mosaic, it's specifically a tandem identity of gender identity definited by masculinity, femininity, and xeninity with the altersex desire of having "mixed" or "double" genitalia or secondary sex characteristics. One's sense of their being altersex is directly derived from their gender identity, and the two are inherently rooted in each other.
In the case of mosaic individuals, their xeninity is also related directly to their altersex identity, as their xenininity is in relation to the myth of Hermaphriditus, who literally embodied androgyny and being altersex/salmacian, as the myth goes that he "became two-sexed" after being fused with the nymph Salmacis. That myth translates to mosaic individuals through the feeling that their soul and gender, and not their bodies, are a fusion between xeninity, masculinity, and femininity, and translates into their altersex identity as wanting to be "two-sexed".
When describing oneself, mosaic individuals may fall into the following categories, though they -
- If one wishes to transition to represent the combination of both male and female aspects, they can describe themselves as trans-mosaic or salmosaic (a combination of salmacian and mosaic).
- If one has a feeling that their genetic makeup itself should be mosaic in nature without the desire to transition, they could call themselves geno-mosaic.
History and Etymology
The term and usage of this gender was coined by the user ThrownawayCoffeeMug in 2021.
The word 'Mosaic' is based off of the term 'Mosaicism', a genetic phenomena where the chromosomes of an animal/plant/human/etc. is different throughout its body. Mosaic indicates its relation to genetic combinations that can happen and the feeling of wanting a combination different from their own.
Flag and Symbols
The flag was created in 2021 by user ThrownawayCoffeeMug. The symbol is a combination of both the male and female symbols, indicating the combination of both binary genders. The symbol is also mixed with the symbol for Mercury, which was the old symbol for the mixture of feminine and masculine features. It also represents the god Hermaphriditus. The 4 dots represent the phases of life. The top indicates who you are, and the side three indicate past, present, future. In the center is the symbol for Xenogender.
The colors and their meanings are as follows:
- Purple: the varying shades/tints represent the various feelings of in-between one can have, from shallow to deep. It can be a simple physical feeling one has of their body, to a more complex spiritual feeling, and anything in between.
- Grey: the unknown form of gender, an ever encompassing sea that changes from person to person, making it a unique, individual experience for everyone.
- Black: the portion of gender that is neutral, a color that goes with every other color with ease and compliment. It's the lack of feeling overly masculine or feminine, rather it's the mix of both, the lack of feeling either, or even a fluctuation between the two.
