    I'm OP. You fuck off, and maybe make it clear whether you think my gender is valid first.

      mammal hiveminds in fiction run the gamut from individuals who are constantly connected telepathically yet retain recognizable individuality to groups where the individual is only a meat robot. the gender identity of the "members" of any given hivemind is different in each depiction, each fictional universe's rules.

      you're perfectly welcome to identify with a concept of gender that is impossible to explain to others but you aren't the sole arbiter of what hiveminds are or what writers decide about the genders of members of hiveminds.

      and for completeness, multiple personalities in one mind is also not usually what anyone means when we say "hive mind" but even if we do for the sake of avoiding a tangent i don't care about, the gender identities of people in that situation are varied as well.

        There is no academic literature, because the culture responsible for producing academic literature ever since the Enlightenment has historically been transphobic, and only took gender dysphoria out of the DSM in 2013. You think there's a book out there explaining every single nonbinary gender identity? No, there are thousands of nonbinary gender identities. What field of academia do you even want to hear from? Biology? We're a gender, not a sex. History? We don't have any, there aren't enough of us. Physics? Math? Not relevant. Anthropology? There aren't any established populations of us because we're born at random at a very low frequency within a transphobic society. Psychiatry? Being swarmgender isn't an illness.

            Well, I had to figure out my gender all on my own. It took years, after I had already become an expert on queer theory. But here, this might help:
