'''Maverique''' |
'''Maverique''' is a [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] gender that is defined as being completely independent from [[Man|male]], [[Woman|female]], [[masculine]], [[feminine]], [[neutral]],[[xenic]], or anything in between or derived from any of them.

Despite this maveriques have a distinct and firm sense of gender. |

The first proposed symbol for maverique was the astrological symbol for the sun (☉), but that had been criticized since the sun is associated with binary genders in many cultures. The comet symbol (☄) was also suggested as a maverique symbol, and is still occasionally used, though it is also used as a general [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] symbol. |
