Religiogender

Religiogender, religender, or religigender is a term for any gender related to one's religion, though further details vary.

Definitions
This term has multiple definitions and approximately three alternate names, which are as follows:


 * Religiogender: A subtype of Aesthetigender. This subtype encompasses all genders that have ties to religion (Judeo-Christian or otherwise)
 * Religiogender (reclaimed): A gender category for genders connected to one’s religion/spirituality
 * Religender: A gender that has a connection to another gender’s energy due to spirituality
 * Religigender: Any gender that’s related to one’s religion or religious beliefs, also has the umbrella terms zodiacgender, kingender, and mythogender under it

History
Religiogender was allegedly first coined by the well-known transphobe MOGAI-Watch through her own Wiki, MOGAIpedia, on an unknown date as "all genders that have ties to religion (Judeo-Christian or otherwise)." Notably, she listed it as a "subtype of aesthetigender." However, few to none of the genders she listed were coined as aesthetigenders, and that portion of the definition has been largely dropped. Since MOGAIpedia’s definition was clearly with the intent to mock religiogenders—outright stated in her coining—few use her definition.

On June 17 2018, the alternative term religender was coined by Tumblr user xeno-aligned, apparently independently. Religender is defined as "A gender that has a connection to another gender’s energy due to spirituality" and appears to be intended as a gender system.

A religiogender flag was coined by Tumblr user mogai-month on October 6 2019, which is also the first recorded instance of the reclaimed definition. MOGAIpedia was not cited in this post, so whether the recoining was intentional is unclear.

Finally, on September 27th 2020, MOGAI-Monarchs recoined the term as religigender to mean "Any gender that’s related to one’s religion or religious beliefs, also has the umbrella terms zodiacgender, kingender, and mythogender under it." This definition was explicitly stated to be a replacement for the MOGAIpedia term. However, some disagree with the inclusion of zodiacgender, kingender, and mythogender under this definition. For example, many people with each of those genders are areligious. While some otherkin consider their kins to be spiritual, few label them as religious. Some religious and religigender people also take issue with nonreligious people being included under the umbrella.
