Vflowergneder, also known as flowergender (not to be confused with the floragender by the same name), is a xenogender related to the Vocaloid flower in some way. This gender can also be written as ブイフラワgender or フラワgender.
This may refer to a gender which changes when listening to music featuring flower, a gender which feels validated by flower, or something similar. This gender may also be a feminine-aligned or woman-aligned gender, and may be related to gender non-conformity, fluid gender expression, and androgyny, based on flower's canon gender and expression. It may also be used by individuals who feel that flower is the embodiment of one's gender, or who experience gender envy from flower. It may also be a kingender for flowerkin individuals (those who kin the Vocaloid specifically, not the plant).
These are simply a few possible explanations of the identity; any gender related to flower can be considered vflowergender.
History
Vflowergender, along with its alternative names, was first coined on May 2, 2022, by a user who wishes to remain anonymous. It was coined because the user wanted a term and flag to describe their gender in relation to flower, alongside labels to describe their gender in relation to Kasane Teto (Tetogender) and Namine Ritsu (Ritsugender). After this, they coined genders for centered around other Utauloids and Vocaloids as well.
The gender was first publicized on the LGBTA+ Wiki on Miraheze.
Flag
The vflowergender flag was designed on May 2, 2022 by the same person who coined the term, who wishes to remain anonymous. There is a version of the flag with a music notes symbol, as well as a version without it. The symbol was also created by this anonymous user on May 2, 2022.
The colors of the vflowergender flag were color-picked from an official image of flower. The meanings of the colors are left up to interpretation, and do not have a strict meaning behind them. However, the creator of the flag personally describes the meaning of the stripes (from top to bottom) as follows:
- Dark blue: connection to flower
- Dark purple: goth and alternative aesthetics
- Medium purple: gender envy
- Purple: androgyny
- White: inclusivity and validation
- Light peach: gender euphoria
- Peach: "blooming like a flower"
- Pink: headcanons
- Dark pink: music
