altegender: pronounced “alt-eh-gender”
derived from shortening the phrase “alternate existence.” It is a xenogender that feels as though it’s in a parallel dimension, on a different plane, in a mirror universe, or just in an alternate existence.

It can work as a prefix with other words to form more specific genders, like altegirl, alteboy, altenby, altexirl, altexoy, and altefluid.

altegirl/altewoman:

someone who’s gender feels like it is female, but as though it’s

in a parallel dimension, on a different plane, in a mirror universe, or just in an alternate existence.

alteboy/alteman:

someone who’s gender feels like it is male, but as though it’s in a parallel dimension, on a different plane, in a mirror universe, or just in an alternate existence.

altenby:

someone who’s gender feels like it is nonbinary/genderqueer, but as though it’s in a parallel dimension, on a different plane, in a mirror universe, or just in an alternate existence.

altexirl:

someone who’s gender feels like it is

in some way nonbinary girl or nonbinary girl-adjacent, but as though it’s in a parallel dimension, on a different plane, in a mirror universe, or just in an alternate existence.

altexoy:

someone who’s gender feels like it is in some way a nonbinary boy or nonbinary boy-adjacent, but as though it’s in a parallel dimension, on a different plane, in a mirror universe, or just in an alternate existence.

altefluid:

someone who’s gender feels like it is fluid, but as though it’s in a parallel dimension, on a different plane, in a mirror universe, or just in an alternate existence.

These are giving me lots of feels and thoughts. I don’t think I’m going to start identifying as altegender, but I do think there is something jiggling in my brain around it that I may write about at some point. Kind of reblogging for future personal reference.

I can see this being helpful for people who disassociate? or something. Either way re-blogging for followers ❤

While I am all for gender expression I have several issues with this.

1) alternate universes aren’t even a confirmed theory. It is speculated by scientist but it is in no way confirmed nor are we close to confirming its theory.

2) chances are if there are alternate existences, we all have a separate gender of ourselves out there so in theory this would include quite literally everyone. The multiverse theory dictates that there are an infinite number of alternate and parallel universes that consist of minor to extreme changes in details. This includes gender.

3) even if the multiverse theory were true, just because there is one out there with an identical replica of you out there with the only difference being their gender, this would not effect you directly. You would still be the gender you are, that alternate you would have the detail variation.

Maybe I’m missunderstanding this but from what it looks like these new terms are explaining exactly this. If I’m missunderstanding it then please explain it to me so that I can understand it, but as of now those are my feelings on this.

Yea these are literally just about how a gender feels, not saying you literally have a gender from another dimension. Its a way of expressing gender perception because of mental illness or just a fuzzy/distant relation to it

also tbh I really don’t care about your feelings on this as its not your gender, it’s mine.
