Rubatyn

[PT: Rubatyn. /end PT]

[Image description: A rectangular flag with five horizontal pink and red stripes separated by thin dark burgundy lines. From top to bottom, the main stripes are pale pink, bright pink, deep crimson-red, bright pink, and pale pink. A large layered chevron extends inward from the left edge, made of dark burgundy, red, and bright red sections. In the lower-right corner is a black-and-white emblem resembling a circular heartbeat monitor or radio signal: a ring with a heartbeat line through its center, curved signal waves on both sides, and a zigzag antenna rising upward and ending in a small heart. /end ID]

Rubatyn is a neoumbrella term based on the word “rubatosis”, AKA the unsettling awareness of one’s own heartbeat. It describes identities, mainly albeit not just genders, connected to intensity, bodily alarm, pulse, adrenaline, emotional intensity, erratic sensations and feelings, fear, panic, blood, the heart, nervous excitement, and the experience of being aware of existing, perhaps a little too much. It is an umbrella term like Kenochoric, Monachoric, and all six of the following terms by this fellow user, possibly like an alternative to “Rubatosian”.

It includes the following themes—

-heartbeat, pulse, throbbing, rhythm, palpitations

-anxiety, panic, dread, fight-or-flight, nervous energy

-adrenaline, urgency, speed, shaking, restlessness, cold sweat

-erratic emotions or behavior, emotional spikes, instability

-hyperthymic energy, euphoria, uncertain grandiosity

-blood, veins, wounds, warmth, bruising, flushing

-body awareness, embodiment, somatic feelings, “this body is too loud”

-survival, fear, instinct, danger, being hunted or cornered

-anger, excitement, obsession, impulsivity, intensity

-medical/hospital motifs: EKG lines, heart monitors, sirens, red lights

-horror/body horror, especially internal horror

-hostile yet desperate restraint, as if one’s heart is climbing up to their throat and they are forced to swallow it back down

Additionally, it can be used for certain xenogenders, such as: A gender that might feel like it is pulsing beneath one’s containment chamber, pulsing faster and faster, its beats turning aggressive and almost violent in order to reach out to the outside world, desperate to come out, to show itself, thus causing conflicting feelings.

Terminology:

Rubatine: Rubatyn-aligned

RUBIN: Rubatyn-In-Nature

Rubingender: Any gender under Rubatyn

Rubatinity: Femininity/Masculinity/Androgyny/+ equivalent

Transruba: Transitioning towards a Rubatyn identity

Diastel: Woman/Man equivalent

Adrette: Girl/Boy equivalent

Vn. (Vein): Main honorific (like Ms., Mr., etc.)

A few possible neopronouns:

-ru/rum/rus/rus/rumself

-pul/pum/puls/puls/pumself

-sys/sym/sys/syrs/symself

-tach/tam/tachs/tachs/tamself

-bpm/bpm/bpms/bpms/bpmself

-lub/lum/lubs/lubs/lumself

-dya/dym/dys/dys/dymself

-crim/crim/crims/crims/crimself

…but none of these are fixed, for it is up to the user.

The symbol resembles a circular heartbeat monitor or radio transmitter, with a jagged heartbeat line through the center, curved signal waves on both sides, and a zigzag antenna ending in a heart. /end ID]

Sorry for being inactive. Been dealing with a lot of mental health issues these days, and the rapid succession of having to call psychiatrist after psychiatrist has taken a toll on my motivation, hence why i got so lackadaisical and stopped posting for days. So, apologies, once more. May all of you have a great weekend.

I've realized that there's not really one single definition of gender that can 1. be relied on and used universally, and 2. accurately capture all the nuances of gender. (At least, there's not one I've seen.) I'd like to define it in hopes of opening up discussion and providing others with a reliable definition they can use without grasping for straws.

I've been thinking... how about this?

"Gender identity refers to an aspect of the self, often involuntary, deeply personal, and unique. It is typically informed by how one relates to the gender (and gendered terms) imposed on them, as well as feelings of gender euphoria and dysphoria."

While this may not be a suitable or accurate definition for everybody, I think it's a good starting point. Anyone else is free to use it or add on to it.
