XOgender

XOGender is a Xenogender that encompasses all individuals who don't find their gender identity representable through terminology conventionally used to describe gender and gender identity, such as "masculine" or "feminine". Individuals who identify as XOGender find their gender and gender identity to be better represented through abstract and artistic concepts such as music, more specifically the music of the Canadian R&B Hip-Hop artist Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, professionally known as "The Weeknd". The Weeknd's music centres around a plethora of themes including hypersexuality, melancholy, addictive tendencies and substance abuse, as well as hypomania, recklessness, glamour, and grandeur. These themes can be used to describe the core ideals that characterise people identifying as XOGender.

The origin of Abel's professional alias is yet characteristion of an abstract concept to describe one's sexual orientation and gender identity, specifically those relating to carelessness and reckless. Abel left his home and old life behind at the age of 17, dropping out of high school and getting into a car with his friends to what he describes as "a look of total disappointment" from his mother. This weekend as Abel describes it, never ended, leading to him using the alias of "The Weeknd" for his professional career following this event. This grandeur and recklessness is often used by XOGender individuals to describe the nature of their gender as well as their preferred expression of it.

Most (not all) XOGender individuals prefer to be referred to as "XO(s)" while brought up in a conversation relating to their gender and indentity. Others might find themselves more comfortable with not being identified with umbrella terms.
