Mirajgender

Mirajgender (Miragender) is a non-binary gender identity defined by its tendency to be unpredictable and mysterious.

It is a gender encompassing many different variants that are felt differently by the person identifying by it.



Gender Theory
Mirajgender is a gender that contains two distinct archetypical "sub-genders" which the person who identifies as Mirajgender feels. These two components are the "real" and the "mirage". The "real" component of gender is the gender which matches the internal state of a persons gender identity, this can vary from person to person, making Mirajgender a sub-class or sub-structure to the Non-Binary gender umbrella, its an umbrella gender which includes people who have this two gender component relation. The "mirage" is the gender which the person represents as, or commonly believes are their real genders, usually the gender assigned at birth, this "mirage" component varies from person to person, where some people believe the "mirage" is a fragmentation from their real gender identity, or is an idealistic view of what they want their gender identity to be; or even an imagined gender due to trauma. There can also be multiple "mirages" which causes gender confusion at times. These "mirages" can also morph and divide into separate gender entities and fragment. Mirajgender should be used to describe your genders, not define it.
