#neutrique
Neutrique: An autonomous, neutral gender. A gender that is simultaneously autonomous and neutral-in-nature (NIN).
Etymology
From Latin, “Neutralis” modified to “Neutr”, meaning “of neuter gender” + “-ique”, an English neologistic suffix indicating autonomous gender.
Coined as a result of an anonymous question to user forgotten-mogai posted on their blog. This post happened to reference a gender I had coined, “Kunneusik”. This anon was looking for a similar term to Kunneusik that excluded the UIN elements, which did not exist when they posted their question. After seeing this, I suggested the term “Neutrique” to describe neutral, autonomous gender. Concept by forgotten-mogai and an anonymous user, 2020. Term by Gent (Gender-Resource), 2020.
- Neutrique is similar to Neutrois and Epicene, but it differs in that it possess an autonomous element.
- It is also similar to Maverique, but differs in that it is a neutral gender and there being a lack of internal conviction that one’s gender is Anonbinary, whereas Maverique is non-neutral and posses internal conviction regarding one’s gender being Anonbinary.
- Neutrique is very similar to Kunnesik, both of which are Ningender and Autonomous, but Kunneusik is also a Uingender, whereas Neutrique is not.
Flag
The Neutrique flag is primarily based upon the Maverique flag and Neutrois flag. This flag uses four, horizontal solid-colored stripes. From top to bottom, they are dark green, white, yellow and leaf green. The dark green represents abinary neutral genders, such as Neutrois. The white stripe, as is exists in the Maverique flag, represents autonomy. The yellow stripe represents being entirely divorced from the concept of the gender binary. The leaf green stripe represents midbinary neutral genders, such as Epicene. Flag by Gent (Gender-Resource), 2020.
