Reccugender

The Reccugender flag

Reccugender is a term for when one is unsure of their gender, but they know which gender they are not. (Example: a reccuboy would be one refusing the term ‘male’ or ‘boy’. One who is a reccuboy may identify with a masculine identity however, as masculinity does not equal men.)

Some reccugender individuals may be uncomfortable with the terms ‘reccuboy’ or ‘reccugirl’ because it gives the illusion of implying that they identify as an alternate version of male or female. One who is uncomfortable with these terms may just use the label 'reccugender' instead. This gender can be used as a side label or a main gender.

History

Reccugender was coined as a separate term to ‘recugender,’ which is a term used by ‘cishets’ to try and include oneself into the community. The original term meant being cisgender, but using a different label to 'defy it.'

The term was recoined by Wiki User EclipseWatera on the 6th of December 2020.

Flag

The flag was also coined by Wiki user EclipseWatera on the same date. The flag consists of eleven stripes fading into each other. The orange is there because it is considered the opposite of blue or cyan. The green is to symbolise the opposite of pink or magenta. And black is to represent the whole ‘rejection’ element of the term. The invert of blue and pink were used because the term ‘opposite’ is to symbolise rejectment.

Etymology

The prefix ‘reccu’ comes from the Latin word ‘recuso’ meaning ‘refuse’.
