Treegender

Treegender is a type of xenogender in which ones gender is related to trees or aspects of trees. It can be used as an umbrella term or as a gender itself. For example, one could identify with trees in general or with many trees, one could define themself as pinegender and categorize it under treegender, or example could be that someones gender feels like parts of a tree, such as branches, leaves, roots, bark, sap, etc. Other related terms includes Forestgender and Coniferian.

Definitions
"a gender that is nourished by its environment (weather, soil, etc) and yet strong enough to survive drastic changes in the outside world (in seasons, living situations, etc)" - @Kiwisson on Tumblr, unknown

Flag
The treegender flag was made by Discord user virgo pizza#6005 on January 12, 2021.

In the alternate flags made by Scourgeface, pink represents flowering trees, green represents the leaves of a tree, yellow represents trees that change color with seasons, and brown represents the trunk of a tree. The version with silhouettes of trees represent the many types of trees that treegender can be.

History
It is unknown the exact time treegender may have first came into thought, however at the very least was thought of by virgo and Scourgeface independently of one another in January 2021. The concept of Treegender has frequently been used by transphobes in the past to mock trans and nonbinary people, so several versions of the identity have been reclamations of the gender. One example of this is from @ittozbf on twitter, who created a tweet reclaiming the identity from a transphobe.

The earliest mention of Treegender is from a tumblr blog @Mogai-Archive mentioned on May 13 of 2020 that a version of Treegender had been coined by @Kiwisson on tumblr using the definition "a gender that is nourished by its environment (weather, soil, etc) and yet strong enough to survive drastic changes in the outside world (in seasons, living situations, etc)" however, the original coining post has since been deleted
