|||
⚫ | |||
'''Gendergas''' is a term with multiple definitions. The first definition is gender which "expands to fill the entire container". This definition was created as a joke and no clarification was given. |
|||
⚫ | An alternate, more serious definition is when a [[genderfluid]] and/or [[fluidflux]] person's gender changes so rapidly and confusingly that the person cannot keep up with it. Their gender feels like a fleeting gas or mist with many particles flying around and don't settle down. It can, but does not have to be, triggered by instances such as: |

* Overthinking |

* PTSD, trauma or anxiety attacks |

||
* Certain states of mind |
* Certain states of mind |
||
* Side effects of plurality (in the case of [[System|systems]]). |
|||
⚫ | Gendergas does not usually refer to a specific gender identity, but rather is a modifier to ones current gender experience or to describe a certain event or occurence, for example: "I was so happy in that moment that I became gendergas for a while." The feeling of gendergas does not have to be a negative experience. It can also feel like an adventure or like suddenly acquiring a collection of many interesting and comfortable genders. |
||
It can also possibly occur to system alters due to side effects of their plurality. |

The original definition was coined on May 27, 2014 by Tumblr user askanonbinary. It was not clarified what the "container" was supposed to be, as this definition was created as a joke. |
|||
⚫ | Gendergas was independently coined by Wiki user [[User:WasabiBuns|WasabiBuns]] on June 20th, 2021, giving it a more serious definition. It originated from a conversation on the LGBTQA+ Wiki Discord server on June 17th, 2021, where a user humorously asked several genderfluid people at what temperature their gender would become "gender solid" or "gender gas". WasabiBuns later decided to give both gendergas and [[genderfrozen]] an actual meaning related to faer own experience with faer genderfluidity. |
||
Please note that this term is not exclusive to disabled or neurodivergent people, but can be used by anyone who experiences the state described above. |
|||
Important to know is also that feeling gendergas does not have to be a negative experience. It can also feel like an adventure or like suddenly acquiring a collection of many interesting and comfortable genders. |
