The most commonly known catgender flag
Another catgender flag
Catgender is an identity where one feels an extremely strong connection to cats, either strongly identifying with them or simply wanting to incorporate them into their gender to better understand their identity. It was made with neurodivergent 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, catgender is not an exclusive identity and neurotypicals may use it.
