welcome! I’m Ren, and I’m the coiner of the term figurate
~*~
what is a figurate identity? well, here’s the definition:
figurate- an identity suffix related to a transformation or transfiguration of some sort, often related to gender or presentation. this identity can be described in traditionally masc or fem terms or in those unrelated to a gender binary. based off of the Latin translation for transformer, or one who transforms
any forms of figurate identities can coexist together, and most prefixes are truncations of latin words
tl;dr it’s a form of identification surrounding the concept of transformation, whatever that may mean to the user

I don’t really have a lot of specific boundaries or a DNI, but know that any hateful messages/anons will be deleted and ignored, but feel free to request terms or identities in my inbox instead 🙂
have a good day
