Maverique is a gender characterized by autonomy and inner conviction** regarding a sense of self that is entirely independent of male/masculinity, female/femininity or anything which derives from the two while still being neither without gender nor of a neutral gender.
In other words, maveriques are not:
male/masculine, female/feminine or anything related to these two genders
without a gender
apathetic about gender
gender neutral
Maveriques share:
a sense of gender that is independent of all else (autonomous)— as if in a category all of its own without outside influence.
Yellow is a primary color (see: subtractive color / CMYK), meaning that it isn’t obtainable from combining any other colors and thus is entirely independent from the other primary colors, cyan (blue) and magenta (pink). *i feel that this is the perfect analogy for maverique’s relationship to male/masculinity and female/femininity. yellow is also often associated with non-binary gender.
White represents autonomy or independence from the gender binary and even from the spectrum of colors (genders) created by combinations of cyan/blue (male/masculinity) and magenta/pink (female/femininity). white represents the figurative blank gender slate upon which maverique is based.
Orange represents the deep, burning inner conviction that a maverique feels in regards to their own gender. it also represents the unorthodox and individualistic nature of mavericks, upon which this gender is based.

To all the people who get told their identity is weird or “““mogai hell”““ or whatever exorsexists are using these days: I hope you know that you are valid, you are worthy of being respected, of having your pronouns and experiences respected. You know better than anyone else who you are and surely better than some jackasses just looking to bully someone. Have a wonderful day

We are counting down the days until the start of NBWeek, July 12! Isn’t it a coincidence that the first Nonbinary Awareness Week just so happens to take place in 20twenby?
PSA: This account and project is not affiliated with any major LGBTQIA+ organisations. NBWeek was started by a single nonbinary person. If you want to know who is behind this, you can find me on Instagram @/gndrqr and on Twitter @/gndrqr98.
Just a PSA that Nonbinary Awareness Week is about all people whose genders don’t neatly fit into the binary - including people with fluid genders, no gender, multiple genders or genders that are binary-adjacent.
