Foxgender, also known as Vulpisgender, is a xenogender that connects with foxes or traits ascribed to foxes, such as being mischievous, active, and/or playful. It is also associated with a connection to nature. Foxgender individuals may identify as such because of their perceived past lives, culture, spirituality, or any other reason. Foxgender individuals may also identify as foxboys, foxgirls or foxenbies
History
Vulpisgender was first coined by Tumblr user Vulpisgender on September 11, 2018.
Flag
Twitter user bl0ss0mDance created the foxgender flag on June 24, 2020. The dark orange/brown stripe is for masc-aligned/masculine individuals that identify as foxgender, the orange stripe for foxes, the cream stripe for fem-aligned/feminine individuals that identify as foxgender, and finally, the white stripe for nonbinary individuals who identify as foxgender. The flag seems to be designed after the red fox, a common type of fox.
An alternate foxgender flag was introduced on November 7, 2020, in a post by Twitter user @eliyips.[1] The six stripes of the flag represented neurodivergence, masculine identity & foxes, feminine identities & foxes, non-binary identities & foxes, types of fox not represented in the flag's color scheme, and nature. This post also included a simplified version of the flag, with four stripes, representing neurodivergence, gender identity, foxes, and nature. Followup posts in this thread depict flags for different types of fox, such as the arctic fox, fennec fox, and silver fox. @eliyips lists bl0ss0mDance's flag as an inspiration for this alternative flag. Twitter user BYBORlNGBRICK's foxgender flag is also cited as an inspiration.
Another alternate foxgender flag was introduced on the April 26, 2021, in a post by Twitter user @enbyfrost.[2] The first stripe is to represent neurodivergence and connection with foxes. The second stripe is to represent fem identities and connection with foxes. The third stripe is to represent masc identities and connection with foxes. The fourth stripe is to represent non-binary and connection with foxes. The fifth stripe is to represent all identities with connections with foxes.
