Corugender, alternatively known as flashgender, is a gender identity that is affected by trauma/mental health related flashbacks. It changes during and around flashbacks. For example, one may be male when not experiencing a flashback but non-binary when experiencing one.
This is a neurogender and is exclusive to those with PTSD or any other neurodivergence that causes flashbacks.
