There is no known meaning for the colours.

Assigned X at Birth (AXAB), also called Designated X at Birth (DXAB) or X Assigned at Birth (XAAB) is an assigned gender that is typically, but not exclusively, used for babies with intersex traits. AXAB most commonly is used for someone whose external sex traits could not be neatly identified as female or male. Assigning such classification at birth is not common practice and is only seen in certain cultures and regions where genders and sexes outside of the male and female are recognized.

The designation of "X" is also seen among non-binary people who have changed their legal gender. The term may be used by people who do not want to acknowledge their assigned sex at birth or have decided to forego the AFAB/AMAB language and only identify as X as a non-binary sex identity, such as in X-gender.

Butchwink is a combination of butch and twink, most commonly used by non-binary individuals. It is also known and butch twink, buink, or twutch.

Examples of butch twink experiences may include:

•Having a non-normative gender expression/being gender non-conforming. One may present androgynously, and have connections to both femininity and masculinity, or be lingender. One may want to be perceived as both a feminine man and a masculine woman (but not a masculine man or feminine woman). They may present both ways simultaneously or be fluid between presentations. They may also be pronoun non-conforming.
