Definitions and Usage

Maverique is an independent, autonomous gender completely separated from the binary and the spectrum between male & female. It is characterized by it's non-neutrality, strong sense of gender, and freedom from the typical gender spectrum. Maverique is based off the term "maverick", meaning "an unorthodox or independent-minded person."

Related Terms

Maverique and aporagender were coined around the same time, and are analogous, but not the same. Essentially, aporagender is an umbrella term and can be used to mean neutral. (See a little graphic here made by Cor). Maverique is different than agender, because the former is still a gender, not a lack of it. It is also separate from neutrois, nonbinary, and androgyne due to neither being between or both male or female.

Flags

Maverique flag by Queer As Cat.

The yellow is for the separation from binary genders yet not a combination of the two; yellow is a primary color, so it is not a mixture of anything. The white represents autonomy from the binary and from the idea of a gender spectrum. The strong conviction about one's gender and the unorthodox sense of self is represented by the bright orange.
