Gender queerdos of the world unite! (Or something)

Do you feel like your gender is "I dunno, I'm just me," and not "I am a woman" or "I am a man" or "I am non-binary" (etc)? Does it bug you that there's no word for that?

Let's fix that problem.

What's a good word, probably a neologism, for "My gender is me?"

I thought of sugender and suigender, but the first is already a person's name in some cultures, and the second has unfortunate resonances with self-harm.

What do you think? What's a good word for that?

@taedryn Wait wait, I went to build this word, and I found it. "Autogender."

Which, funnily enough, sounds a lot like "autigender" if you say it with the right accent. 😆

Autogender

Autogender is a gender identity in which one's gender experience feels deeply personal to themselves but is too difficult to accurately describe with previous gender terms. Autogender can be used interchangeable with egogender. The prefix auto comes from the Greek word for self. Egogender
