Baccugender

Baccugender is a deity-based neogender, set to the tune of Bacchus or Dionysus. It’s a masculine-leaning identity, though it isn’t exclusively male, nor is inclined to he/him pronouns.

The Traits

• Wine/Fermentation
  There’s no way we’d go without recognizing that this gender’s basis is the deity of wine, but that doesn’t mean this gender is exclusive to those who drink; other methods of fermentation such as vinegar, salt, sugar, yeast, or lactic acid can also play an important role in the identifier’s life.
• Theatre/Art
  Baccus is also the deity of theatre, and such the gender that is based off of him should include such! If you find acting, singing, dancing, costuming, or set design an integral part of your identity, you may be baccugender!¹
• Androgyny
  As the deity of liberation, he is also the deity of empowerment and comfort. Baccugender people recognize their own liberation from binary gender roles (even if they choose to link themselves to a binary gender), and generally find that an androgynous, interest-based gender presentation is best for them.²
• Magic/Rebirth
  Bacchus is recognized as the “god that comes” and represents foreignness, including a mystical, hidden influence on his identity; bacchugender people are similar, finding comfort in the strange or occult. This means many baccugender people may practice witchcraft, or be fascinated with psychology, religion, politics, or different cultures³
• Wildness
  This deity is also linked to ritual madness and religious ecstasy, as well as the most popular myth (to my knowledge), being dionysus driving a group of sailors, who had captured him, to madness. Without diverging from modern awareness of mental health; this gender is both linked to a feral love of the wilderness, impulsivity (within healthy limits), and mental health issues based on impulsivity, distraction, identity, dissociation, or mania.⁴
• Agriculture
  Last, but certainly not least, Agriculture is strongly tied to Bacchus, the deity of fertility and grape-harvest. Whether you have a green thumb or not, if you’re baccugender, you may find happiness in gardening, cooking with home-grown vegetables, environmental activism, plant-based diets, or solely eating your veggies and fruits!^{5 6}
  
  Who can identify as baccugender?
  If you aren’t on my DNI, you can! If you are on my DNI, feel free to ignore this post, and make a gender of your own!
  
  Always remember to consult a deity, or their worshippers, before identifying as/adjacent to them! It’s just plain respectful!

  ^{1 – This isn’t the only factor in being baccugender, and gender identity and presentation is up to the person questioning, and nobody else
  2 – This doesn’t mean baccugender people can’t enjoy gendered products, but they will enjoy them regardless and uncaring of the gendering of said product
  3 – This doesn’t mean cultural appropriation, armchair diagnosis, or other harmful things associated with psychology, religion, politics, or cultures are a part of this gender; hopefully, those who identify as baccugender will understand to appreciate, not appropriate.
  4 – I do not condone using this gender as an excuse for harmful mental health symptoms. This gender solely is in a role of acceptance with one’s “wildness”, not an excuse to act harmfully towards yourself or others. If you are in need, please contact an emergency line or a doctor.
  5 – This gender isn’t associated with veganism, vegetarianism, or other diets; you can eat meat or animal products and still identify as bacchugender, as diet itself is rarely tied to gender. Please consult a doctor if you have any concerns about your digestive health or when trying a new diet, and see a doctor if you have issues regarding food in general.}
