Aslagender or a/gender, shortened to asla, is a type of gender under the non-binary umbrella in which someone identifies as a recognised gender while having a very different gender experience than one would expect from their gender identity. It is best described as "identifying as, but not really with, a certain gender". For example, an asla girl may identify as female while not experiencing the gender identity of what most of society views as female.
Asla people may have an entirely different view on what "male" and "female" are to them, and identify as their experience of a chosen gender identity. Thus, they would not be "pretending" to be a certain gender, as they choose to identify with the typical parallel of their unique identity.
One who identifies as aslagender may call themself terms such as "asla boy", "asla girl", or "asla enby" to align with their gender identity, or simply use "aslagender".
Aslagender may be similar to offgender or perigender.
History
Aslagender was coined on 1 January 2021 by FANDOM editor RalseiTheFluffiest as a way to better describe her identity.[1]
Etymology
The term aslagender is derived from the prefix "a-" (meaning "not"), and the word "slash." A forward slash ("/") is usually used to describe something being either-or. This is applied to aslagender by saying "not gender or gender" representing being a certain gender, while not relating with that gender at the same time.
Aslagender should be pronounced as "ACE-luh-gender".
Flag
The first asla flag was created by RalseiTheFluffiest on 1 January 2021. The meanings of the flag's colours are:
- Green - identifying as a gender
- Cyan - close to green, being a unique version of a gender
- Light red - opposite of green, being not a gender at all
- Greys - fluctuating between white and black, being uncertain about one's gender
