Aetherium is a xenogender identity in which one's gender is disconnected from binary womanhood, but possess an essence of femininity in a celestial, ethereal, or otherworldly way, regardless of assigned gender.[1]
Etymology[]
The name "aetherium" comes from the Latin word "ether" or aether, which means "of or relating to the regions beyond the earth".[3]
History[]
Before being officialized with a name or flag, it was simply referred to as calliegender,[2] as a sort of running joke to play on the indescribability of the creator’s gender identity. It's first proper dedicated conceptualization was in the form of a starter pack image. Several months later, Tiktok user boyfail made and published the official gender and flag, first in their discord server[4] and then immediately after on their Tiktok.[1]
Upon request, they also created the masculine and androgynous variations, luminium and alstrium.
Symbol[]
The symbol is a flower with a crescent moon on top of it, representing feminity in a more ethereal and celestial way.
