Coining refers to the act of creating a new term for the LGBTQ community. It is usually seen in MOGAI and LIOM communities, and is often associated with the concept of xenogenders. Furthermore, coinings may be accompanied by a flag, though this is not always the case and is not a requirement.
History
The term comes from the English verb coin, which simply means to create or invent something.[1] It is unknown when it was first used in the context of creating queer terms. Coining is widely considered to be an art form by the MOGAI and LIOM communities[2]
