Definitions

 * When you have 9(ish, can be anywhere from 6-10) different distinct feelings of gender, but they have mixed into one big gender identity. Based on the Greek god Apollo, who was the god of 9 different things. - kyoko-magica, 2014
 * A gender that is composed of 7 or 9 (ish) genders that combine into one. The exact number of genders may range from 6-10 ... The gender may also feel influenced by worship of Helios/Apollon, their domains, or the sun. - koraki-mogai, 2021

History
Apollogender was originally coined by Tumblr user kyoko-magica on or before August 8 2014, "based on the Greek god Apollo, who was the god of 9 different things." A flag was created September 12 2015 by DeviantArt user Pride-Flags.

The term was recoined November 9 2021 by Tumblr user koraki-mogai, along with a new flag. Fey explained, "The main reason I’m doing this recoining is just… an extremely weird and frustrating unchallenged error, which is that Apollon is a god of nine domains. He has numerous domains that vary by time and place, which can probably number up to the dozens. Additionally, he has a sacred number, and it’s seven–Helios is nine. But the ultimate meaning of the term is pretty much the same, just with more accuracy and ties to my religion."

Flags

koraki-mogai described feyr flags' meaning as the following:


 * Navy: Helios, the mati, merged identity
 * Red Orange: Helios & Apollon, heat
 * Orange: Helios & Apollon, warmth
 * Light Orange: Helios & Apollon, music
 * Yellow: The sun

"The black symbol in the middle is the astrological symbol for the sun. There are nine stripes total; seven for Apollon, with Helios represented by those plus two stripes to make nine for him."
