Gendivergence: A Comprehensive Framework for Redefining the LGBTQIA+ Spectrum and Community

Abstract

The LGBTQIA+ community has historically faced discrimination and stigmatization due to societal misunderstandings and prejudices regarding gender identity. To address this issue, I propose a new categorization called "Gendivergence" as an inclusive and empowering framework for comprehending and supporting individuals with diverse gender identities. It is combination of Gender + Divergence. By redefining the LGBTQIA+ spectrum under the umbrella term of "Gendivergence," we aim to challenge stereotypes, reduce stigma, and promote acceptance and inclusivity. This research paper presents the rationale, methodology, and potential implications of implementing Gendivergence as a means to alleviate discrimination and promote the well-being of LGBTQIA+ individuals, redefining the community members under universal term of being a “Gendivergent”. Gendervergence is the whole LGBTQIA+ open ended spectrum itself, whose each member shall be universally and equally a Gendivergent.
