Gendervacuous is the feeling that gender as a concept does not apply to you, or does not fully apply to you.


Etymology

The suffix "vacuous" comes from the word vacuum and is also a word meaning "empty", coming from the Latin word vacuus meaning the same.

Alternate Names

Vacugender (also from the word vacuum, coined in original post)

Definitions

From the word “vacuum,” to describe the feeling of existing in a space without gender. Similar to egender and quoigender, but not quite the same. The feeling that gender as a concept does not apply to you, or does not fully apply to you. Someone who is vacugender can present in any way that person chooses, and may be okay with being viewed as any gender.[1]

Coining

This term was coined on Tumblr by (deactivated) user intergalactic-asexual. Vacugender or gendervacuous: From the word "vacuum," to describe the feeling of existing in a space without gender. Similar to egender and quoigender, but not quite the same. The feeling that gender as a concept does not apply to you, or does not fully apply to you. Someone who is vacugender can present in any way that person chooses, and may be okay with being viewed as any gender. Surgender: a term vacugender people can use to describe genders they don’t mind being labeled with. Since gender itself does not apply to someone who is vacugender, that person may take on (or distantly identify with) a surgender or surgenders because they live in a society where genders do exist, though they may not exist for that person specifically. A person may have any number of surgenders, and they may be any gender (or lack thereof). A vacugender person does not need a surgender. Surgenders are not necessarily exclusive to vacugender people, but they were created for vacugender people’s use. Grammatical phrasing: "I am vacugender/gendervacuous and my surgender is [gender]." Alternatively: "I am a vacugirl/vacuboy/vacuagender/vacufluid, etc." where the vacu- prefix means that you are vacugender/gendervacuous and the term after is your surgender. Or however else you want to do it. These are suggestions i came up with because I think they make sense, but really you should just phrase it however feels comfortable to you. No form of dysphoria is required to identify with these terms. ~ I made these terms to describe the way I feel about my gender, because nothing I have seen so far seems to describe quite the way I feel. I am vacugender and my surgender is fluid between female and agender. Of course anyone who identifies with the terms is free to use them. I’m not sure how to make sure this reaches a lot of people, but I feel like it could be helpful, so if people could spread it around that would be great!
