Definitions

 * esmo-exualities/genders, emotion based! For people whose sexuality/gender change is emotion-based! heur- when happy; sorg- when sad/guilty/grieving; ya- when jealous; ire- when angry; and melas- when bored or uninterested. There can always be more!. - October 31, 2017, an anonymous submitter to Uncommongenders

The original definition of esmo- terms seems to be a synonym for emotugender:


 * Emotugender / motusgender / sensumgender / sentigender: “A fluid or flux gender affected by emotions, mood, and state of mind. It is similar to Affectugender, but is not exclusively a neurogender. One does not have to be diagnosed with a mood disorder to be Emotugender, while they do to be Affectugender. Just as an example, one may feel Agender in an inactive state of mind and Androgynous in an active one. - Ask-pride-color-schemes, 2018

It is unclear which version was actually coined first, given that the post on ask-pride-color-schemes seems to be a copied definition which could be from an earlier date. Regardless, emotugender, motusgender, sensumgender, and sentigender seem to not be commonly used.

Esmogender as a term has evolved. The original definition would make it a subset of condigender, but now "esmogender" tends to describe any gender related to emotions, whether or not that gender involves the gender changing because of that emotion and including more genders simply related to the associated aesthetics of those emotions.
