History
The term was created on March 11, 2017 by tumblr blog Ask-Pride-Color-Schemes, after they received a troll ask but felt that the term might be useful.

Coining
"So some anon sent a troll ask pretending to be real right at the same time they send hatemail so they both got deleted when I blocked the hatemail. (Bronze star I don’t think u tried at all)

Anyway they were asking for a term for when your gender changes depending on what TV show you were watching. And I was like “yeah this def was written by a troll but a term for this might actually be useful for people so I might as well coin something anyway”. So here it is:
