{{DISPLAYTITLE:Filogender}}
'''Existigender''' is a gender that only exists when one think actively thinks about it. When one isn't actively thinking about and exploring their gender/gender identity, they do not have one, or it feels quiet until called to attention. One feels genderless until they think about their gender, at which point they can "choose" which gender to have, so they're genderless until they actively think about their gender.▼

==History and Flag ==
Filogender was originally coined by an anonymous creator on or before January 25, 2015.<ref>[{{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://buddhabrand.tumblr.com/post/109100909505/filogender Tumblr post coining the term.}}]</ref> The original definition referred to a gender that was thread-like, described as not particularly strong or visible.
The first filogender flag was created by DeviantArt user Pride-Flags on August 17, 2015.<ref>[{{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://www.deviantart.com/pride-flags/art/Existigender-Cognogender-Pensgender-1-554424726 "Existigender/Cognogender/Pensgender (1)" by Pride-Flags on DeviantArt.}}]</ref> This flag also doubles as the filononbinary flag. A filogirl flag and a filoboy flag were created later that day.<ref>[{{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://www.deviantart.com/pride-flags/art/Existigirl-Cognogirl-Pensgirl-Opinogirl-554424720 "Existigirl/Cognogirl/Pensgirl/Opinogirl" by Pride-Flags on DeviantArt.}}]</ref><ref>[{{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://www.deviantart.com/pride-flags/art/Existiboy-Cognoboy-Pensboy-Opinoboy-554424710 "Existiboy/Cognoboy/Pensboy/Opinoboy" by Pride-Flags on DeviantArt.}}]</ref>
An alternate filogender flag was created by DeviantArt user Helkie-three on September 3, 2015.<ref>[{{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://www.deviantart.com/pride-flags/art/Existigender-Cognogender-Pensgender-2-557589535 "Existigender/Cognogender/Pensgender (2)" by Helkie-three and uploaded by Pride-Flags on DeviantArt.}}]</ref>
A second alternate filogender flag was created by Reddit user AnonymousHermitCrab on April 9th, 2021 to combine Helkie-three's flag design with the gender-specification and thread symbiology of the original flag.<ref>{{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://www.reddit.com/r/agender/comments/tzpj8h/filogender_alternate_flag_design/}}</ref>
== Etymology ==
Filogender comes from the Latin ''filum'', meaning "thread," in reference to the idea that the gender is only noticeable when focused on, like a thread.
Existigender comes from the Latin ''existere'', meaning "to come into being."
Pensgender comes from the Latin ''penser'', meaning "to think," "to reflect," or "to concentrate."
Cognogender/cognitogender comes from the Latin ''cogitare'', meaning "to think," or "to ponder."
Oblivigender comes from the Latin ''oblivio'', meaning "forgotten," in reference to the idea that the gender identity disappears when 'forgotten' or not thought about.
