Kenochoric refers to an umbrella term that is centered around the idea of kenopsia: the eerie atmosphere of a place that's has been abandoned. It can also be used as a gender of it's own. It is usually, but not always, a xenogender and an aesthetigender. Depending on the person, it may also be a neurogender. Kenochoric may be used alongside other terms, such as kenomasc, kenofem, kenofluid, and so on.[1]
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.
- 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.

Flag
The kenochoric flag was made by Tumblr user kenochoric on November 18, 2020.[2]
The stripes have the following meanings:
- Black: Void, absence, emptiness, and darkness
- Dark purple: Disconnect with gender, obscurity and a difficulty to properly define itself
- Purple: Vast concepts and places, such as oceans and deep space.
- Light purple: Liminal spaces, transitional spaces, the "boundary" between what was and what is.
Kenochoric also has a Carrd made by the creator, with flags for each identity under it.[3]
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 persons' aesthetics. It was originally called kenocoric, but was changed because kenopsiacore does not currently exist.
