    '''Desigender''' is a term used to describe people who want to be a gender that's different from their own. It is not meant to be a standalone gender, but rather, a descriptive label for one's experience. People who are cisgender cannot be desigender. Being desigender is not the same thing as rejecting one's gender due to internalized transphobia or external pressure. It is only when the person acknowledges their gender(s) or lack thereof, but desires to be a different gender anyway.
