'''Chibados''' is a [[Third Gender|third gender]] for [[AMAB]] individuals who present and behave in a [[feminine]] mannerism within Ndongo Africa. This can be compared to [[Transfeminine|transgender women]], [[Lunarian|lunarians]], or other similar terms, however it may also be considered separate from these terms, as it is a cultural gender that is unique to experience. |
