Tubagender is a xenogender and specifically a musicagender which is based around tubas and their music. It has two possible definitions:
- A gender based around tubas, their aesthetics, and at the core, tuba music and sounds. Since every instrument can be made to produce different kinds of sounds, this could be a diverse gender experience, but the general aesthetic of tuba music, deep brassy tones, among other musical aesthetics, is the core of this gender.
- A subset of genderpiano where someone's gender is affected by playing and/or listening to the tuba. One may feel their gender more strongly or feel a different gender/gender identity entirely when playing or listening to the tuba. For example, one may be a demiboy normally, but be juxera when playing to and/or listening to the tuba.
Someone who is tubagender could also be both of those definitions as well as either one of them.
History

Flag
The tubagender flag was also designed by Reign of the breadsticcs on March 8, 2021. The yellow color scheme of the flag represents the typical colors of tubas, and the deep shades of each color represent the deep, intensely brassy tones most commonly associated with tuba music.
