I’ve come to like the term “protean-gendered.” My shape is mine to change at will.
What’s your experience?

I like it!
Of course, that may be because of my theatre background. In theatre parlance, protean refers to an actor’s versatility; if an actor can portray the full gamut of emotions, as well as play many different types of roles, he or she is considered to be a protean actor. I think this translates especially well to gender roles. If a person can freely change from one gender to the next to androgyny or “other,” he/she/etc. may very well be considered protean-gendered.
I fully endorse this new terminology! Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
