Kenochoric is its own, separate category of gender, rather than a subcategory of another one. It is not a subcategory of [[xenogender]], or any other category. While xenogenders, aesthetigenders, etc. may fall under the kenochoric umbrella, kenochoric is its own thing with many variations in experiences. There is no necessary prerequisite or existing label one must meet in order to fall under kenochoric.
The term for kenochoric-in-nature is [[Keingender|KEIN]], kenochoric quality (similar to [[feminine]], [[xenine]], and [[masculine]]) is called kenoine or kenous (with the noun form being kenosity<ref>https://kenochoric-archive.tumblr.com/post/647983791914270720/basic-kenochoric-terminology-kenochoric-an</ref>), and kenochoric alignment is referred to as [[kenic]] (or [[voidrian]] if one wishes to use [[Galactian Alignments|the galactian alignments]]

Line 38 ⟶ 40:
The flag for kenochoric had been created on the same day as the term. The stripes have the following meanings: Black represents the void, absence, emptiness, and darkness. Dark purple represents disconnect with gender, obscurity and a difficulty to properly define itself. Purple represents vast concepts and places, such as oceans and deep space. Light purple represents liminal spaces, transitional spaces, the "boundary" between what was and what is.
A kenochoric symbol was created by Tumblr user mourningmogaicrew on August 13th, 2021. It was based off the gendervoid symbol because "both identities can involve voids, genderless, and creepy stuff. Also because their flags are both dark and pretty".<ref>https://mourningmogaicrew.tumblr.com/post/659420972546490368/new-gender-symbols-introducing-gender-symbols-for</ref> Before it was posted, the symbol was in a collection of gender anarchy symbols by the same individual.<ref>https://mourningmogaicrew.tumblr.com/post/659238223676096512/assorted-gender-anarchy-symbols-pt-3-the-symbols</ref>
==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
The [[:Category:Gender In Nature|GIN]] variant of kenochoric is coined as 'kenochoric-in-nature', however this is inconsistent with other GIN formats, where the quality variant is used instead. For example, the [[Xenic]] GIN is '[[xenine]]-in-nature', whereas kenochoric uses its base form. The consistent form would be 'kenoine-in-nature'.
