Heligender
Heligender is a xenogender that describes those whose gender is like a helicopter, free flying and masterful.[1] One who is heligender may also be kingender, but that is not a requirement. It also can refer to a gender based around reclaiming the "attack helicopter" joke and making fun of TERFs/exclusionists and conservatives.[2]
History
Heligender was first referenced in a mogai-zone Tumblr post around March 4th of 2019. Within it, an anonymous user speaks of the "attack helicopter" transphobic joke, and how it negatively encourages heli's dysphoria.[1] The alternative definition of heligender was coined by Twitter user @that_incel on June 19th, 2020.[2]
Flags
The heligender flag was created by Tumblr user mogai-zone on March 4, 2019.
An alternative flag was created by Twitter user @that_incel when they coined the gender. The stripes on this flag represent "aesthetics of childish mocking, revenge/making fun, and cishets/TERFs being mocked."
