Kingender is a gender identity under the alterhumangender umbrella to describe someone with a gender related to their kintype. A kintype (or otherkin) relates to a non-human identification. One example of this could be someone who feels like a dragon on an emotional level.
The kingender experience is different for everyone. Some examples of what kingender individuals may experience are:
- a change in gender when one experiences a shift (kingenderfluid)
- the experience of being a certain gender because of one's identity (e.g. a dragonkin knowing they wouldn't be female if they weren't dragonkin)
- being a xenogender related to one's kintype
This can be considered genderNH if one is kin to a non-human being or character.
The identity is exclusive to those who are otherkin, because the gender of otherkin individuals is intertwined with their non-human identity. If one is not otherkin, they cannot be kingender, as they do not experience a key part of this identity.
