Buggender is a neurogender in which one's special interest in bugs impacts their gender identity. Buggender also serves as an umbrella term for all neurogenders relating to specific bugs.

Etymology

While there is no etymology provided in the original coining post, it is assumed that the term comes from the root word bug, suffixed by the popular gender suffix -gender.

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.
