Hypnogender
Definition: A xenogender based off of trance/ hypnosis. It can be used for when one's gender or genderlessness contains aspects or feels akin to one's feelings/ nothingness while being hypnotized/ under trance. It can also be used when someone wants to incorporate hypnosis into their gender identity to understand it better.
Xenogender Definition: From Pronouns Page; "An umbrella term for gender identities that cannot be fully defined by reference to femininity, masculinity, androgyny, gender neutrality or maverique/aporagender identity. Instead, they are described by means of metaphors, similes, references to archetypes etc. Xenogenders were first used by neurodivergent people who may have difficulties with relating to the traditional understanding of gender or may experience their gender differently. But neurotypical people also may describe themselves as xenogender."
If you have trouble understanding, think of it as a metaphor to describe your gender identity.
Name Origins: Derived from "Hypnosis" and the Greek word for sleep "ύπνος (hypnos)" (the word from which the term "hypnosis" came from).
Alternate Names:
-Hypnosisgender
-Trancegender (Derived from "Trance", a term used to describe the hypnosis state of mind.)*
*This may sound too close to "Transgender" for some people's liking, hence why it's an alternate name and not the "official" name Pixal chose for this coining.
Flag Design:

Above is the first iteration of the flag Pixal made for this coining. It was purple since purple is a calming color and based off of the spirals you commonly associate with hypnosis. After a while Pixal didn't like this design, it didn't look like an actual flag to it, it thought the blur would give off a cool etherial vibe too but it just didn't look good after Pixal dropped of the high of coining and creating the flag.

This is the second iteration of the flag (again, made by Pixal), it was put on her Pronouns Page on December 11th 2023 but wasn't added to this Rentry until January 14th 2024. Overall, Pixal thought it was a huge improvement from the first iteration since it actually looked like a flag. She wanted the flag to look smoother so she used an online vector creator and kept the purple color scheme and stylized spiral motif, the white dots were really just there to fill space. She didn't realize it before starting working on the third iteration of the flag but when opened in a tab, the stripes didn't connect properly and just looked bad compared to how it looked on Pronouns Page. Pixal once again didn't feel satisfied with this new flag after a while, she couldn't put her finger on it but looking back it was probably that the spiral motif didn't scream hypnosis or spiral enough (would you have even known if it was a spiral if Pixal didn't tell you earlier?), didn't have that same feeling as a Xenogender flag, and/ or she wished she could've done more with it at the time. She originally wanted to include a drippy pattern on the flag since she saw it on the flags she saw on pinterest and she heard "melting" being used a lot in the audios she listened to and thought it would be a cool idea to incorporate but since this was her first time using a vector creator she didn't exactly know how to make a pattern like that.

This is the third iteration of the flag. Huge credits to Pride-Flags on DeviantArt for posting the flag template used and neo-pronouns on DeviantArt for posting the icon Pixal edited to use for the flag!! If either is unhappy with Pixal's usage please reach out to Pixal.
Pixal isn't sure whether she could say she created the flag considering she just used assets from others but we'll still go into the editing process. She remembered seeing neo-pronouns peppermint icon when she was looking for inspiration for the second flag and that kickstarted her to make a new flag. Pixal decided to make the flag scream more hypnosis and spiral while also incorporating some design elements from both old flags, the colors, the stripes, the spiral, the PNG format, and the dots. During the original recoloring phase of Pride-Flags' template, the outermost stripes were the purple as the first flag's, the middle stripe was the same color as the one in the second flag's and the other two stripes' colors were just a mixture of both colors. Pixal realized the eye icon made by neo-pronouns looked way better as a spiral so Pixal just removed the eye whites and used the spiral iris on it's own. She thought she was done from there but wanted to see what a blue version of the flag would look like so she made a new layer and colored it blue, she didn't like it but after playing with the opacity decided that the blue tint made it look more calming compared to how, sterile the old purples felt.
Pixal used the wavy stripe template by Pride-Flags since it was pretty close to her old idea of the drippy pattern she never used on the second flag, plus it actually works with a beach tide metaphor she also heard in audios. She used the 5 stripe version since she thought counting down/ up to 5 was common enough to allude to in the design (plus there wasn't a 10 stripe version). Of course the color scheme is supposed to be calming once again since trance is meant to be calming, the black and white spiral is once again referencing the hypnotic spiral trope, and the white dots are meant to fill space.

Why: Pixal coined Hypnogender because hypnosis is one of its special interests and it thought hypnosis was a good metaphor to describe its Agenderness. Pixal also could not find an already coined version of Hypnogender so she did one itself (though there is a non-zero chance that she simply did not look hard enough for an already coined version).
When: Pixal coined it, created the first flag, and put it on her Pronouns Page on September 27th 2023.
Update October 25th 2023: Added info about xenogenders for those who don't know about them, re-worded the usage disclaimer at the end, and simply went into a bit more detail about some stuff.
Update January 14th 2024: Uploaded the new flag Pixal made for her coining (she thought the 1st design with the blur wasn't good after a while) + detailed how the newest design came about, removed 2 alternate names Pixal came up with (she didn't want to accidently claim ownership of too many terms), and reformatted these updates.
Neopronouns based off of hypnosis:
(Side note; Pixal probably isn't the best with coming up with neopronouns but it will try its best for those who want neopronouns based off of hypnosis!!)

On the topic of hypnosis...
Although hypnosis is portrayed as mind control or brainwashing in media, it is not either of those things!! If you wanna learn more, (as a personal recommendation) Pixal recommends SciShow's video on the topic, "Can Hypnosis Permanently Change Your Brain?" as a starting point.
Due to how hypnosis is seen by the masses due to its portrayal in media, "Hypnogender" should only be used to describe one's gender in relation to the feeling of hypnosis and should not be used to describe the idea of hypnosis changing one's gender (which would only add fuel to the fire of transmisia).
