Varioformic: Difference between revisions

'''Varioformic''' is a [[transgender]]-adjacent umbrella term for those to physically alter their body (transition) in uncommon, partial, or otherwise non-standard ways in relation to gender identity. Most of the time, these physical alterations are via [[hormone replacement therapy]], physical training and/or [[surgery|surgeries]]. Varioformic may be used by anybody regardless of [[gender identity]] or [[sexes|sex]]; though most varioformic folk are transgender, [[cisgender]] people who intend to pursue transitional treatments may also use the term while still identifying with the gender they were assigned.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://varioformic.carrd.co/|title=Varioformic identity|website=Carrd|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230318231240/https://varioformic.carrd.co/|archive-date=18 March 2023|access-date=15 July 2023}}</ref>

 

Each color does not have it's own specific meaning. The whole flag consists of shades of red as to symbolize the physical flesh, the body, as the identity pertains to a desire to change your physical form. The white stripe in the center symbolizes the neutrality and broadness of the label, as it can be used by anyone, of any identity, cisgender or transgender, perisex or [[intersex]]. The arrow goes from the darker less saturated color to a brighter more saturated color to symbolize the transition to a happier state of being, whilst not fully changing the body, hence it is still a shade of red.

The term "Varioformic" comes from the phrase ''Varied form'', or ''variated form'', combining the root word for ''variation'', ''vario'', with the word ''form''.
