History
Freakshowgender was coined on October 4th, 2021 through use of the LGBTA Wiki's page creation. While the concept was attributed to FANDOM user Rexyboy45, the gender's official coining post was created by FANDOM user Onyxcrow1, muddying the true identity of the term's coiner. The term's flag was created at the same time, attributed to both Onyxcrow1 and Rexyboy45.
