Personal Tags
#dragon self, #cat self, #hybrid self, #catdragon, #dragoncat, #hybrid, #shapeshifter, #polytherian
These are tags that I use to help me identify and more easily locate content that I felt connected with specific parts of me. Specifically, my cat therian and dragon therian aspects. I'm still trying to figure out the best terminology for this, and since this is for personal reference, I've opted to use "self" as it is the most direct language I am comfortable with.

These tags are used for finding content related to my sexuality, gender, experiences surrounding those identities, identity in general or the communities I am connected to through those identities. There are identities and terms I am still educating myself on and may not end up relating to later on, but being able to access the ones I want to reflect on will make that process much easier.
Content Tags
#food, #recipe, #recipes, #coffee, #tea, #drink, #meat, #fish, #snack, #breakfast, #lunch, #dinner, #treat, #moodboard, #stimboard, #ideas, #wishlist, #askmemes, #cat ears, #self care, #memes, #userbox, #quotes, #quote, #mental health, #suicide prevention, #PSA, #support, #resources, #grimoire, #sigil, #flag, #fashion, #accessories, #symbol, #art, #crafts, #informational, #about, #dni, #tag list
These tags are to help me find specific types of content in a more general sense. If I'm looking for sigil magic, fashion inspiration, or want to look at some recipes, I can look up those specific tags and find what I'm looking for relatively easily.
Aesthetic Tags
#aesthetic, #cute, #autumn, #winter, #comfort, #gold, #purple, #blue, #green, #orange, #brown, #pink, #grey, #gray, #soft, #warm, #cold, #domestic
For less specific searches when it comes to content, if I'm looking for a specific vibe or energy as opposed to any concrete subject, or narrowing down larger content searches.
Noun Tags
#forest, #woods, #ocean, #sea, #water, #river, #cliff, #rain, #spirit, #nature, #mountain, #demon, #vampire, #halloween, #fae, #fairy, #owl, #lavendar, #moon, #space, #night, #magic, #bat, #seal, #selkie, #punsheen, #Irish, #language, #gaeilge, #gaelic, #angel, #witch, #deity
These tags help me mark what the content might make me think of, or what the content itself contains. Like, if there's a post with a clearing that makes me feel fairy/fae vibes and nature spirit energy, I would mark it with those tags. Or I can mark it with the noun of the character represented, like Punsheen.
Misc Tags
#haku, #comfort character, #shikamaru, #aizawa, #castiel
These are tags that I'm not sure where else to put, or are generally less common.
The comfort characters are fictional characters from various series that helped me through difficult and/or traumatic times, so seeing them is a sort of coping mechanism in stressful times.
Haku, specifically, is less of a comfort character and more of a personality touchstone in a way I can't explain, aside from the obvious connection to my theriantype.

Do you think things like Catgender are real?
Catgender is a xenogender in which someone feels an extremely strong connection to cats or other felines, either strongly identifying with them or simply wanting to incorporate them into their gender to better understand their identity. It was made with neurodiverse people in mind, specifically autistic individuals, as well as people who may experience delusions relating to being a cat or other feline, or people who experience species regression. However, anyone may identify as catgender.
One who identifies as catgender may refer to themselves as a "catboy," "catgirl," "nyan-binary," or simply catgender or another combination, depending on their gender identity.
There are multiple subtypes of catgender. This includes...
Species/Felinegender: when one connects to a specific species of cat. (example: tigergender.)
Meowgender: when one connects with older/full grown cats.
Mewgender: when one connects with younger cats (kittens.)
Kitten/kittygender: when one is catgender and species regresses and/or age regresses.
Xenogender is an umbrella term for non-binary gender identities that cannot be fully described through their relation to concepts typically used to describe genders such as masculinity, femininity, androgyny, neutrality, agenrity, or outherinity. Instead, xenogenders can best be described through how they relate to things, beings, or concepts that most people don't think of as having to do with gender, such as animals, plants, things, or concepts. It is sometimes described as any gender that "cannot be contained by human understandings of gender". People who identify as a xenogender may call themselves xenic. The gender quality associated with xenogenders is xeninity. The opposite of xenogender is anthrogender.
Xenic people often have a strong understanding of how their gender feels to them, however, they often find that there aren't any words for their experiences, this is called a lexical gap. In order to fill that gap xenogender people often describe their gender through metaphors, by saying their gender is like, is influenced by, or shares qualities with something else.
When described, xenogenders often fall into one of three categories:
Nouns and Archetypes: Instead of saying how one's gender relates to masculinity and femininity, one says one's gender is, or is like, a kind of animal, an imaginary being, a part of nature, an abstract concept, or a symbol. These are called noungenders.
Aesthetics and Synaesthetic Perceptions: When a gender is described using things like texture, size, shape, time, light, sound, or other sensory characteristics. These can often overlap with noungenders. These are called aesthetigenders.
Neurotypes: When a neurodivergent person's neurotype(s) is/are an inseparable part of their gender identity. These genders are exclusive to people of the neurotype(s) associated with them. These are called neurogenders.
Other categories of xenogenders include:
Situations: When one's gender changes based on the situation. These are called mutogenders.
Kintypes: When an otherkin being’s kintype(s) is/are an inseparable part of their gender identity. These genders are exclusive to beings of the kintype(s) associated with them. These are called kingenders.
Oneself: When one's gender is so much just them that no one else can even experience it. These are called nominalgenders.
Someone who is a binary gender, and relates/connects to xenogenders (without identifying as xenic) may call themselves meliusgender.
