Gender queerdos of the world unite! (Or something) Do you feel like your gender is "I dunno, I'm just me," and not "I am a woman" or "I am a man" or "I am non-binary" (etc)? Does it bug you that there's no word for that? Let's fix that problem. What's a good word, probably a neologism, for "My gender is me?" I thought of sugender and suigender, but the first is already a person's name in some cultures, and the second has unfortunate resonances with self-harm. What do you think? What's a good word for that? #queer #genderqueer #neologismNeeded

@taedryn Wait wait, I went to build this word, and I found it. "Autogender." Which, funnily enough, sounds a lot like "autigender" if you say it with the right accent. 😆 https://gender.fandom.com/wiki/Autogender

@taedryn it me. I generally go with gendermeh or genderfucky depending on if I’m in my usual ‘gender indifferent because it’s just me’ mode or if I’m more in my gender transgressive mode.

@taedryn I've used "per" and "person" before to describe my gender.

@taedryn Gender-independent? That's all I can think of off the dome. I'll see what else I come up with.

@taedryn There's also "agender" for folks who don't identify any particular which way with gender in general, but autogender is probably more specific to what you're looking for.

@taedryn I am imagining a YouTube channel “Will it gend?” with the high enthusiasm the Blendtec geeks brought to their work.
