gender-resource:

While cataloging genders from LGBTA Wiki, I found a system of genders referred to as “Kaigenders”. Kaigenders are a system of naming genders that consists of two different natures. The system was created by
Wikia user Dxxnkichu in 2021.
The prefix “kai” in  Kaigender comes from the Greek word “και τα δυο” which means “both”.

Upon finding the Kaigender System page, I noticed there were many combinations that went unmentioned. For instance, I added genderlessness, outherinity, demigenderness, gender fluidity and gender fluctuation to the original natures, like masculinity, femininity, neutrality, epicenity and xenicity.

The Kaigender System assigns a syllable to each nature. Here are the syllable and their corresponding natures:

  • fe = feminine
  • ma= masculine
  • ne = neutral
  • xe = xeninine
  • ce = epicine
  • a = aginine
  • o = outherine
  • de = demigender
  • id = fluid
  • ux = flux

Creating a table of combinations with no repetition yields 45 combinations. Here are the 45 terms in the Kaigender system with their definitions:

  1. Kaifemagender: a gender that is feminine and masculine.

At this time, only Kaigender and Kaifemagender have a flag and page. Personally, I don’t like the existing Kaigender flag, so I went ahead and created a simplified version that isn’t so visually discordant. Since the original flag had color meanings, I didn’t change the pallet to respect the coiner’s intentions regarding symbolism.  Green represents neutrality, pink represents femininity, blue represents masculinity, the light pink stripe and light red stripe represent fluidity, purple represents midbinary genders and yellow represents anonbinary genders. Here’s my take on the flag:

I added the roman numeral “II” to represent the two natures that compose the genders in the Kaigender system.

Here’s an example of what I would do with the Kaifemagender flag:

I did this so that each  “I” represents one part of the identity. This concept could be carried throughout the 45 part list, creating a unique combination of “II”s for each flag based upon the natures that it holds. I plan to create flags for all 45 terms over the next week or so.
