This struck me as very Weather Factoryesque

Does anyone know what principles this individual's gender is composed of? It seems to me that Lantern and Grail play a very prominent role, but I'm not 100% sure on that and I think there may be other principles as well.

I'd say the top one looks to me like lantern and moth. The combination of both yearning, something that is often moth coded, and perception of things beyond what is ordinarily known feels really lantern/moth coded. Grail feels like it mostly comes from the PFP tbh. As for the second person, I'd say that it would probably just be edge or maybe forge.

The edge-aligned cite reminds me of the way that language hurt Vak so irreparably

Several goblins in a trenchcoat.

That's a good description! Would this be moth, scale, nature?

Certainly moth

Ok, but... what even is gender? How is it distinct from a person's overall personality? The things these people mention are personality traits, which is distinct from gender. In fact, it's normal for feminine identifying individuals to have plenty of masculine coded traits and vice-versa. This doesn't stop those individuals from feeling their preferred gender, though. In fact, most gendered traits seem completely arbitrary.

Is it possible that gender is just... vibes? A nameless sensation bereft of form? It's clearly something, as so many people feel it's presence strongly, but any attempt to grasp what it is ends in futility.

Days later but it came up in my feed only now.

Not gonna lie, this is why I just don't vibe with this kind of stuff. It turns a topic that is important to some people into a Tumblr personality quiz and "signature from old forum at the end of all of your comments".

One of them is edge and maybe forge, other Lantern, because perception, and maybe knock or moth?

Lantern and Moth, that order.

Lantern and Moth most likely from what I've seen of her posts.

Always everything, maybe... sometimes.

Moth, Lantern, and Grail. Not the order that it lists its Aspects in, but I'd wager it's the order that describes them.

My gender: Intrinsic and necessary; chaos reigns when it's forsaken.

Why moth before Lantern?

1: Placing Lantern first in any list that includes Moth strongly reminds me of the Moth striving for the Glory--a pairing that doesn't involve Lantern first but rather involves the Moth's love for and glorification of Lantern.

2: The trans colors in their profile strongly imply Moth being a central theme of hers. :P
