==History==
=== First Coining and Flag ===
The first mention of kingender as an identity came from Tumblr user aroacehawkeye on or before July 8th, 2014<ref name=":04" />. Aroacehawkeye initially proposed an umbrella term for otherkin who get their gender mainly or fully from their kintype, with kingender as a name for it.
Also on or before July 8th, 2014, aroacehawkeye posted a design for a kingender flag<ref>[https://archive.md/vuoBP Aroacehawkeye's kingender flag]</ref>. This flag has four stripes-- yellow, blue, purple, and pink-- and two symbols. On the left is a seven-pointed star (sometimes refered to as the elven star) commonly used in the otherkin community, and on the right is the Theta-Delta symbol, a combination of the Greek letters Theta and Delta, which is the most widely used symbol for therianthropy. The colors have no confirmed meaning, but there had been previous versions of the design, and aroacehawkeye added the yellow stripe to represent non-binary genders.
=== Other Flags ===
Sometime before July 9th, 2016, kingender was posted to Tumblr blog nova-pride-flags with a new flag<ref name=":5" />. This flag has 7 stripes; two black, two purple, two green, and one brown in the center. The flag has a small seven-pointed star in the center of the brown stripe. The blog's "about" sectionpage states that the mods recreate some flags based on their sensory issues<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20161004023907/http://nova-pride-flags.tumblr.com/about Nova-pride-flags' "about" page]</ref>. Nova-pride-flags was credited as the designer of this flag on the kingender post on pride-color-schemes<ref name=":0" />, so it can be assumed that this flag was created by one or both of the mods based on their sensory issues.<ref name=":1" />
On January 6th, 2021, FANDOM user Cryptocrew posted two alternate designs for kingender<ref>[https://archive.md/IBrk0#selection-11849.0-11849.15 Cryptocrew's alternate kingender flags]</ref>. The first flag has 11 stripes; two yellow, two pink, two purple, two blue, and three white. In the center is a grey shape with a black outline resembling a person. The second flag is the same, but without the grey shape in the center. The color meanings are as follows:
