Regregender

 is a gender that one feels during regression, either with age regression, or with pet regression. It can be flux, fluid, or static and may be similar or different than one’s gender when non-regressed, or may be linked to another gender related to the type of regression.

Alternate Names

 * Regressigender
 * Regressgender
 * Regressusgender

Etymology
Presumably "regression" + "gender."

Definitions

 * Regregender: A gender that’s hard to differentiate/figure out due to being an age regressor. - pride-color-schemes, terms with no known flags, 2017
 * regregender: a gender that one feels during regression, either with age regression, or with pet regression. can be flux, fluid, or static. may be similar or different than one’s gender when non-regressed, + may be linked to another gender related to the type of regression (ex. a regregender pet cat regressor being felisgender while regressed, + another gender when not, or feeling more felisgender when regressed). - hostagender, 2020

The 2020 definition specifies that this is similar, but slightly different to Regressigender. The earlier definition from sometime before 2017 doesn't seem to be commonly used.

It is unclear if regregender can be considered the same as regressigender:


 * Regressigender, Regressgender, or Regressusgender: A gender that is only present during age regression. (I have to politely request that you don’t use this term for kink purposes. I’m not anti-kink but that just isn’t what I intended this to be used for.) Edit: Apparently there’s another definition here that already existed. I like that definition too, so this can be a flag for that one as well! - 2018, kalliepride

Age regression is defined as follows:"Age regression occurs when someone reverts to a younger state of mind. This retreat may be only a few years younger than the person’s physical age. It could also be much younger, into early childhood or even infancy.

People who practice age regression may begin showing juvenile behaviors like thumb-sucking or whining. Others may refuse to engage in adult conversations and handle issues they’re facing.

Age regression is sometimes used in psychology and hypnotherapy. It can also be used as a self-help tool, or something someone does to reduce stress."

History
It is unclear when regregender was coined. The term appears, defined as a "gender that’s hard to differentiate/figure out due to being an age regressor," on a list of terms with no known flags in 2017. On August 18th, 2018, kalliepride posted "Regressigender, Regressgender, or Regressusgender," and despite the way they then defined the term as, edited the post to link to the 2017 definition. They said this different definition was a better one and the flag they made could be used for either definition.
