Stimgender
Stimgender is an exclusive neurogender described as a gender that could only be understood or acknowledged while stimming, or is otherwise related to stimming. It may or may not be a fluid or fluctuating gender. This is also an umbrella term for any stim related genders. It can also be considered an aesthetigender, as it can be related to certain visual, audio, or other forms of stimming, and autigender, but this isn’t always the case. It may also have a connection to another gender, such as stimboy or stimgirl. The term is exclusive only to those who are neurodivergent and stim.
Etymology
The suffix “stim-” is from a shortened version of “stimulation,” used by neurodivergent people to describe specific actions that stimulate them.
