Clarigender is a xenogender and specifically a musicagender which is based around clarinets and their music. It has two possible definitions:
- A gender based around clarinets, their aesthetics, and at the core, clarinet music and sounds. Since every instrument can be made to produce different kinds of sounds, this could be a diverse gender experience, but the general aesthetic of clarinet music, mystical and bright tones, among other musical aesthetics, is the core of this gender.
- A subset of genderpiano where someone's gender is affected by playing and/or listening to the clarinet. One may feel their gender more strongly or feel a different gender/gender identity entirely when playing or listening to the clarinet. For example, one may be a demiboy normally, but be juxera when playing to and/or listening to the clarinet.
Someone who is clarigender could also be both of those definitions as well as either one of them.
History
The term clarigender was coined as part of a series of new musicagenders based on instruments on March 8, 2021 by FANDOM user Reign of the queerios.
Flag
The clarigender flag was also designed by Reign of the queerios on March 8, 2021. The silvery blue/grey color scheme of the flag represents the traditional colors of clarinets (the grey color scheme), as well as the mystical, emotional tones (the blue color scheme) most commonly associated with flute music.
