Maenadian:

A gender, way of relation, or expression of gender that relates to the Greek God Dionysus and Dionysian philosophy.

Meaning of Maenadian in this context: Maenad is usually thought of as a term strictly relating to women who followed Dionysus, but in this concept it is an entirely separate gender term that is somewhat related to femininity (but not restricted to feminine genders) but not womanhood.

Disclaimers: you don’t have to be a follower of Dionysus to use this term but you can use it as an extension of your relationship with him if you do. It’s very related to gnc-ness and androgyny but it isn’t restricted to either group. If you are worried about offending Dionysus by using this term for yourself, I am a follower of Dionysus and explicitly asked permission beforehand, He gave me very ecstatic permission. He is very encouraging of expressing your gender however you truly feel!!

Color meanings 

Wine: Feelings of gender associated with madness and/or ecstasy.

Purple: Adoration for Dionysus and Dionysian philosophy.

Blue: Mysterious aspects of your gender, to yourself or intentionally wanting to be mysterious to others.

Off-white: Liberation from all gender restrictions, and celebration of androgyny and gender non-conformity.

Green: Feelings of love and protection towards other “gender outsiders.“ 

Pronouns: of course you can use any pronouns for this, but Maenadian specific suggestions i have are Ny/Nys/NyselfandMae/Maen/Maedself. Or inventing other related pronouns for yourself if you would like to be more in the spirit of things! Here are examples of how to use them

also thank you so much to @of—13 for helping me out so much with the initial concepts, pronouns, and flag design it meant so much to have you collaborate with me on this!  

I would like this gender to be collaborative with everyone who uses it. If you use this gender for yourself PLEASE feel free to share with me alternative flags/symbols/pronouns/gendered terms. Thank you! Praise Dionysus (:
