⚫ | 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 persons' aesthetics. It was originally called kenocoric, but was changed because kenopsiacore does not currently exist. |

Kenochoric refers to a gender that is centered around the idea of kenopsia: the eerie atmosphere of a place that's has been abandoned. It is usually, but not always, a xenogender and an aesthetigender. Depending on the person, it may also be a neurogender. Kenochoric is an umbrella term, but may be used as a gender on it's own as well. It can generally be classified with the following:
- A gender with a connection to one, some, or all of the following: liminal spaces, the void, darkness, vast concepts (deep space, deep ocean, etc.), distortion, emptiness, and/or similar.
- A feeling of kenopsia, loneliness, or autophobia without one's gender.
- A disconnect from gender in some way, or a distinct "empty" or "absent" feeling. This does not have to mean genderlessness, but might mean a distortion of, or just general disconnect with, gender identity.
- One's relationship with gender may be hard to define, fades in and out, or is otherwise "unstable."
- One's relationship with gender may feel eerie, strange, nostalgic, and/or foggy.
Whether these things are tied back to one's neurodivergence can also make kenochoric a neurogender.
