History
Buggender was coined in 2020 by Twitter user bensect_ as a neurogender related to having a special interest in bugs. Soon after, on October 15th of the same year, the most widely accepted buggender flag was designed by Twitter user trrrrav.

In recent years, the term has become muddied, seen as a more general gender related to bugs for anyone to use as opposed to its actual nature as a neurogender.

Statistics
In the 2021 Gender Census, one participant out of 44,585 participants identified as being buggender.
