'''X-Gender''' ('''Xジェンダー''' ('''''x-jendā'''''), or '''エックスジェンダー''' ('''''ekkusu-jendā''''')), is a Japanese term for a [[Non-Binary|non-binary]]/[[genderqueer]] gender that is most commonly attributed to the [[transgender]] community of Japan, and later China, used to describe someone who is neither [[Man|male]] nor [[Woman|female]].<ref>https://genderqueerid.com/post/46526429887/selected-links-on-non-binary-gender-in-japan</ref> In April and May of 2019, Japan LGBT Research Institute Inc. conducted an online survey, in which 2.5% of these respondents called themselves X-gender<ref>https://english.kyodonews.net/news/2019/12/bf50b5f548d5-most-people-in-japan-know-lgbt-but-understanding-limited.html</ref>. It is used in terms such as FTX and MTX, which refer to a divergent or unknown destination from the transitional paths of FTM and MTF. One could also say they are XTX, which could be used for someone who is [[intersex]] or someone who does not want to acknowledge their [[Assigned Gender|assigned gender]]. The term likely originated due to the option to put "X" as one's gender on forms instead of "F" or "M". |
