Tenerbrigender is a term for one who feels like their gender is like a room with the lights out. They know that the gender is there but they can't see what it is. Those who identify with tenerbrigender may feel as though all the features of their gender are there, and what makes up about it but its all darkened out, the individual can feel it but cannot make out the "shape" of the gender itself due to them having the inability to pin point it.
Tenerbrigender may classify as a form of genderlessness or gendervoid but differ due to them knowing its there but its difficult to find it, unlike gendervoid which is when one feels emptiness where a gender should be.
A considered similarity is invisigender, which is a gender that is there but is invisible, unlike feeling parts of a gender but cannot pinpoint a specification of it.
