Tambougender is a xenogender and specifically a musicagender which is based around tambourines and their music. It has two possible definitions:
- A gender based around tambourines, their aesthetics, and at the core, tambourine music and sounds. Since every instrument can be made to produce different kinds of sounds, this could be a diverse gender experience, but the general aesthetic of tambourines, cheerful and excited tones, among other musical aesthetics, is the core of this gender.
- A subset of genderpiano where someone's gender is affected by playing and/or listening to the tambourine. One may feel their gender more strongly or feel a different gender/gender identity entirely when playing or listening to the tambourine. For example, one may be a demiboy normally, but be juxera when playing to and/or listening to the tambourine.
Someone who is tambougender could also be both of those definitions as well as either one of them. Similar terms include drumgender.
History
The term tambougender was coined as part of a series of new musicagenders based on instruments on March 8, 2021 by FANDOM user Reign of the breadsticcs.
Flag
The tambougender flag was also designed by Reign of the breadsticcs on March 8, 2021. The mostly grey color scheme of the flag represents how tambourine music doesn't have melodies but rather beats and pitches, and the yellow stripe represents the vibrant and bright, energized tones most commonly associated with tambourine music.
