Satyrian, or Satyrigender, is a gender in the Dionysian Gender System named after the Satyrs, the half-faun male member of the Cult of Dionysos. Refers to a masculine, male, neutral, or male-associated gender of experience. Specifically, men, all genders of achilleans, AMAB non-men who feel their relation to masculinity impacts their gender/experience, masculine non-binary people, and anyone of any gender with a tie to masculinity. This gender is also associated with freedom, revelry, impulsivity, community, and wildness.
Who Were the Satyrs?
The satyrs were men with the lower bodies of a horse, often in the train of Dionysus. They were known for hypersexuality, wildness, revelry, and music. They are often compared to the Roman fauns, who were similar creatures with half-stag bodies.
