Feathergender is a xenogender that feels light, decorative, and similar to the sensation one gets when a feather brushes up against your skin. It can also be when one feels a strong connection to feathers, and the feathers of a certain kind of bird.
Feathergender is not the same thing as birdgender; but people who are feathergender may also identify with one or more birdgenders. Someone can feel their gender is related to the feathers of a bird while not feeling that their gender is related to that actual bird, so some feathergender people may say that they're "[bird] feathergender" to denote the bird to whose feathers they feel the strongest connection. Examples of genders based on the feathers of specific kinds of birds are owlfeather-gender, hawkfeather-gender, etc.
Feathergender can be felt alongside other genders besides feathergender, and although feathergender is a xenogender, feathergender people do not have to be xenic.
Feathergirls are women-aligned feathergender people, Featherboys are men-aligned feathergender people, Featherbies are non-binary-aligned feathergender people, Feathrals are neutral-aligned feathergender people, Featherages are agenrine-aligned feathergender people, and plural-aligned feathergender people are Multifeathers. Xenine-aligned feathergender people would simply call themselves Feathers.
