The term was coined by [[User:Cryptocrew|Cryptocrew]] on March 13, 2021 in order to help relieve [[dysphoria]] and discomfort in many [[genderqueer]] individuals.

The alternate wordings of PWHN and PHN were created by Wiki user foreigntoolmaker on September 30th since some people were uncomfortable with PON.
