Guide:Gender

 serves as a guide for formatting pages on gender identities on this Wikia. Please use it as an example when creating and editing pages. A simple blurb about this gender goes here that mentions what kind of gender it is (ex, evilcatgender is a subset of catgender). Template:Gender should be used. Check the gender category for examples of filled out pages.

Alternate Names

 * If this gender is called by any other names, put them here.

Etymology
Origins of this gender's name, even if it's "obvious."

Pronunciation
How to pronounce the title of this article. Use Template:Pronunciation, which has spaces for phonetic spelling and International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). Below the use of this template you can also embed a video or audio file where someone pronounces the term. It is preferred to have at least two of these, but we understand that's a lot of effort. If you don't have the ability to add this at the time of making the page, it's fine to just place Template:NeedsPronunciation here or at the top of the page. To make it less effort: Easypronounciation.com has an English Phonetic Spelling Generator which may be used, but users should keep in mind it may not always be accurate and the original words a term's name is derived from should always be considered.

Definitions

 * Text goes here. Put the original text used when coining here. - Person who coined, year, citation

Additional commentary about what makes this gender unique here. If this gender's ever been accidentally recoined by the same name with a different definition, talk about that here too.

History
Text goes here. Some terms have lots of discussion and years of effort behind them, this is where we'd talk about that.

Community
A wide range of things can be mentioned here, this section is for general impacts that people who identify as this term have on society. Wikipedia's similar section can be used as inspiration.This section can mention things specific to this identity's community, like ace rings to asexuals, or miscellaneous things that people of this group have achieved and contributed to that don't fall into the other sections, or be left blank.

Statistics
Examples of people actually identifying with this label or the definition of it go here. Acceptable examples include quotes from celebrities or public figures, survey results like the Gender Census, and screenshots of blogs (with permission), etc. Fictional characters may also be added to this section if they're this label in canon (said during the media they came from, or by a staff member).

(Kris keeps a tag on his blog dedicated to posts that mention statistics and one for canon representation, which may be a good place to start finding statistics and examples. He also spent time adding up exactly how many xenogender identities appeared in the 2020 Gender Census)

Controversy
If there's been a specific variety of (this identity)-phobic discourse that has led to discrediting it (examples being pan, ace, etc) or if this identity is potentially genuinely harmful (quasihomo, super, etc), please detail that here. This section can also be renamed called "flag controversy" if there have been similar -phobic discourses around popular flags, examples being the racist claims around the pan flag, or the true racism and biphobia of the pink lesbian flag's creator. Like other sections, this can be left blank or removed if not applicable.

Perceptions and Discrimination
This section can cross over somewhat with the controversy section, but focuses more on the specific kinds of discrimination and oppression that these people may face. Examples would be mentioning systematic transphobia and nonbinary erasure on the page for agender, mentioning rates of mental health issues in this group, etc. Specific examples of notable transphobes or other bigots mentioning this term to mock it are acceptable as well.
