Pera

Contributions by: Maddoxofthestars

Definitions and Usage
Pera is a gender that is not at all a part of, or related to, the gender trinary of male/female/none (or in some cases, neutral). This gender is not at all female, male, androgynous, or neutral. Pera is not a lack of gender, confusion about one’s gender, or apathy about one’s gender. It is completely removed from the gender trinary of male/female/none (or neutral).

Related Terms
Pera is similar to maverique, though unlike maverique it doesn't specify autonomy or an inner conviction.

Flags
The creator of the flag explains: ''"The teal and purple really called out to me. We didn’t always have exact words for those colours, and in some languages, they still don’t, but that doesn’t mean those colours don’t exist. The same goes for genders like mine. We’ve been here, but we haven’t always had the right words to express ourselves clearly. I also feel like they parallel people’s need to gender colours like pink and blue, but in a non-binary way. The white represents all colours, even the ones we can’t see, since all the colours combined are white. Humans can see a small portion of the light spectrum, but that doesn’t mean those other colours aren’t there. It’s difficult to represent colours we literally can’t see, but I felt the white stripe helped communicate that. In contrast, the black does the same; maybe we can’t see those colours, but they’re still there, even if they’re beyond our vision. Those stripes help to communicate genders beyond the trinary."''
