Adgender

Adgender is a gender modality that refers to someone who moves towards a given gender, or gender presentation. It is slightly more inclusive than terms like transmasculine and transfeminine as it includes individuals who wouldn’t be included by trans. Examples include:


 * An AFAB bigender individual who has been on testosterone and now needs to do the same things as transfeminine individuals to pass on days where they feel like a girl. This individual wouldn't be transmasculine but adfeminine.
 * A male headmate in a system who has to dress the body of the cis woman host when they front in order to feel themself would be admasculine.
 * A cis man with Kallmann syndrome who chooses to take testosterone might consider themself admasculine.
 * An AFAB non-binary femme might call themself adfeminine because they feel like they’re transitioning into a different kind of femininity than the heteronormative role they were assigned at birth.
 * A butch woman who transitions but wants to avoid the connotations of transmasculine might feel more comfortable calling themself admasculine.
 * A female headmate in a system who, in world, is transfeminine but the host is an AFAB body. They would be adfeminine.
 * An intersex individual who has undergone medical intervention but doesn’t consider themself trans might consider themself adgender.
 * A trans woman would be adfeminine and transfeminine, because in this case adfeminine an umbrella term that transfeminine falls under.
