'''Maverique''' is a [[gender identity]] that falls under the [[nonbinary]] umbrella term. It is defined as an identity that is not the absence of gender, or an apathy towards gender, but a present feeling of gender. This feeling of gender is completely independent from male, female, neutral, or anything derived from any of them.<ref name=":0">http://maveriques.tumblr.com/faq</ref> However, maveriques can be [[multigender]] with their other genders being related to maleness, femaleness, or neutrality. | '''Maverique''' is a [[gender identity]] that falls under the [[nonbinary]] umbrella term.

The term "maverique" was coined in 2014 by Vesper H. as a word to describe their own gender.<ref name=":0" /> It is a combination of the English word "maverick" and French suffix "ique". | The term "maverique" was coined in 2014 by Vesper H. as a word to describe their own gender.<ref name=":0" /> It is a combination of the English word "maverick" and French suffix "ique". | ||
"Maverick" was chosen due to its association with the unorthodox, referencing the fact that maverique as a gender is unorthodox even in regards to many nonbinary genders; due to it being unrelated to the gender binary.<ref name=":1">http://maveriques.tumblr.com/post/136474788751/i-know-im-late-to-the-whole-maverique-discussion</ref> While the word maverick implies a conscious, rebellious unorthodoxy, being maverique itself is not a conscious choice of the maverique person, nor is it a stance against the gender binary. The suffix "-ique" means "similar to" but not identical, indicating that while unorthodox ''like'' maverick, maverique is ''different'' in that it is not a conscious stance but a inherent feature of the person. This indicates that a maverique's gender is not unorthodox by choice, nor any sort of political stance.
