Harmogender is an identity under the Bigender umbrella where the person feels primarily connected to one binary gender (male or female), while also feeling a lesser connection to the other one. Similar to how bisexual or biromantic people can still have a preference for one binary gender over the other, bigender people can still feel more connected to one binary gender over the other. This inequality in connection is what harmogender is defined by. The term gets its name from the musical concept of a harmony, where a stronger tone is supported by a weaker one, symbolising a more prominent gender being supported by a weaker one.
Use as a prefix
Similar to Demigender, harmogender can be turned into a prefix, harmo-. This prefix can be used to more clearly define how a given person experiences their gender identity. For example, a person who feels mostly masculine but partially feminine can choose to use the harmo- prefix in front of male-gendered terms, such as harmoboy, harmomasc or harmoguy. Similarly, a person who feels mostly feminine but partially masculine could call themselves harmogirl, harmofeminine or harmowoman, among other possible terms.
Flag
The harmogender flag consists of five colors: blue (#004C97), purple (#8A70CA), white (#FFFFFF), light pink (#EF88CE) and hot pink (#DA377C). The blue and hot pink were chosen to symbolise masculinity and femininity, the white was chosen to symbolise the bigender umbrella, and the remaining light pink and purple symbolise the intermingling of the two colors in different ratios.
History
