Candygender

 is an aesthetigender that relates to candy in some way, whether that be through literal or metaphorical means. It has been recoined repeatedly, muddying the definition somewhat. For this reason, some may also relate to the term candygender strictly as a gastrogender related to candy. However, this definition more closely mirrors the term candyic.

Etymology
Although etymology was not specified in the original coining post, it is assumed that the term comes from the root word candy, suffixed with the popular gender suffix -gender.

History
Candygender was coined on June 9th of 2020 by Tumblr user crescairis, who provided two flags for the term on the same day. Soon after on June 25th of the same year, the term was recoined with a different definition by Tumblr user mogai-supporter-69001, a self-admitted pedophile supporter. This coining post did not gain any traction, and this definition is not commonly associated with the term candygender. This was also the only post the blog ever made publicly.

Two months later, on or before August 13th, the term was recoined with a new definition by Tumblr user mogaibun. As the original post has since been deleted, the only remaining record of this exists in the form of reblogs. Soon after, on or before August 26th, the term was recoined again by an anonymous Tumblr user who has since privated their account, leaving the only remaining record of this to exist through reblogs.

The following year, Tumblr user bloodsmogaispot recoined the term again on March 1st of 2021 with yet another new definition and flag. However, this would not be the end of candygender recoinings, as the term was coined yet again by Twitter user puzzleships on or before April 6th of 2021, who further changed the definition to turn candygender into a neurogender.

On or before August 11th, an alternative candygender flag was designed by Tumblr user zoomiegender. As the user has since deactivated the original account and moved to a new URL, the original flag post has been lost, existing only in the form of reblogs and archives. On November 6th of 2021, Tumblr user gender-funky posted an alternative candygender flag, describing it as an oversaturated version of the "original" candygender flag, though the version they were referring to was unclear.
