Kenochoric

Kenochoric refers to an umbrella term that is centered around the idea of kenopsia: the eerie atmosphere of a place that's has been abandoned. It can also be used as a gender of it's own. It is not inherently a part of any other gender label (with some not even identifying as nonbinary), but for some, it may be considered a xenogender, a neurogender, and/or an aesthetigender. Kenochoric itself may be aligned, with examples being kenomasc, kenofem, kenofluid, and so on.

It can generally be classified with the following:


 * A gender with a connection to one, some, or all of the following: liminal spaces, the void, darkness, vast concepts (deep space, deep ocean, etc.), distortion, emptiness, and/or similar.
 * A feeling of kenopsia, loneliness, or autophobia.
 * A disconnect from gender in some way, or a distinct "empty" or "absent" feeling. This does not have to mean genderlessness, but might mean a distortion of, or just general disconnect with, gender identity.
 * One's relationship with gender may be hard to define, fades in and out, or is otherwise "unstable."
 * One's relationship with gender may feel eerie, strange, nostalgic, and/or foggy.

Etymology
The term kenochoric stems from the word kenopsia. Kenopsia is an eerie, forlorn atmosphere of a place that’s usually bustling with people, but is now abandoned. It can also be loosely tied back to the word choric, which refers to a chorus, something that may be a part of a kenochoric persons' aesthetics. It was originally called kenocoric, but was changed because kenopsiacore does not currently exist.
