Lularegender
Not to be confused with lunaregender.
Lularegender is a gender identity/modifier for plural system headmates with two definitions:
- A headmate who has always been the same gender since they first formed.
- A headmate who may have identified with different genders in the past, but presently identifies as the same gender they were when they formed.
As this term is about a headmate's personal/individual gender, it does not refer to the headmate's relationship to the body’s sex/gender or the system's collective gender.
Lularegender headmates may or may not also identify with the terms cisgender or transgender.
This term is intended for plural systems and can be used by any system of any origin or type.[1]

Term Origins
Lularegender is derived from the Latin word "pullulare," which can be roughly translated to "to sprout; to spring forth."[2] This is in reference to the fact that they have the same gender as they did when they first "sprouted" in the system.
