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. |

Kenochoric is not inherently a part of any other gender umbrella, such as [[xenogender]] (with some not even identifying as [[Non-Binary|nonbinary]]), but for some, it may be partly [[xenic]], [[neurogender]], or [[aesthetigender]]. Kenochoric itself may be aligned as well, with examples being kenomasc, kenofem, and kenofluid,<ref>[https://kenochoric.tumblr.com/post/639134934204923904/kenomasc-kenofem-kenofluid-kenochorique Kenomasc, kenofem, kenofluid]</ref> as well as kenovir, kenoera, and kenoavire.<ref>[https://neopronouns.tumblr.com/post/651914008156405760/kenovir-kenoera-kenoavire-kenovir-a Kenovir, kenoera, and kenoavire]</ref> |
