'''Xenogender''' is an [[Umbrella Term|umbrella term]] for [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] [[gender]] identities that cannot be fully described through their relation to concepts typically used to describe [[gender]] such as [[male]], [[female]], [[woman]], [[man]], [[Masculine|masculinity]], [[Feminine|femininity]], [[Androgynous|androgyny]], [[Neutral|neutrality]], [[Agenrine|agenrinity]], or [[Outherine|outherinity]]. Instead, xenogenders can best be described through how they relate to things, beings, or concepts that most individuals don't think of as having to do with gender, such as animals, plants, things, or concepts. It is sometimes described as any gender that "cannot be contained by sapi understandings of gender". The gender quality associated with xenogenders is [[Xenine|xeninity]]. The opposite of xenogender is [[anthrogender]]. |
|||
Xenogender individuals often have a strong understanding of how their gender feels to them, however they often find that there aren't any words for their experiences, this is called a lexical gap. In order to fill that gap xenogender individuals often describe their gender through metaphors, by saying their gender is like, is influenced by, or shares qualities with something else. |
|||
When described, xenogenders often fall into one of three categories: |
|||
Prettiest Girls |
|||
*Nouns and Archetypes: instead of saying how one's gender relates to masculinity and femininity, one says one's gender is, or is like, a kind of animal, an imaginary being, a part of nature, an abstract concept, or a symbol. These are called [[Noungender|noungenders]]. |
|||
* Aesthetic and/or Synaesthetic Perceptions: when a gender is described using things like texture, size, shape, time, light, sound, or other sensory characteristics. These can often overlap with noungenders. These are called [[Aesthetigender|aesthetigenders]]. |
|||
Pharrell Williams |
|||
*Neurotypes: when a [[neurodivergent]] individual's neurotype(s) is/are an inseparable part of their gender identity. These genders are exclusive to individuals of the neurotype(s) associated with them. These are called [[Neurogender|neurogenders]]. |
|||
- |
|||
Other categories of xenogenders include: |
|||
Pretty girl, pretty girl |
|||
*Situations: when one's gender changes based on the situation. These are called [[Mutogender|mutogenders]]. |
|||
Oh no here comes a pretty girl |
|||
* Nonhuman Identity/kintypes: when an [[alterhuman:Alterhuman|alterhuman]]'s identification, nonhuman [[plural:System|plural system]] member, or other nonhuman identifying individual's identification is an inseparable part of their gender identity or heavily affects or correlates to ones gender. These genders are [[Exclusive Genders|exclusive]] to beings of the kintype(s) or similar associated with them. These are called [[Alterhumangender|alterhumangenders]], [[Kingender|kingenders]] or [[genderNH]]. |
|||
Pretty girl |
|||
* Oneself: when one's gender is so much just them that no one else can even experience it. These are called [[Nominalgender|nominalgenders]]. |
|||
Uh oh here comes a pretty girl |
|||
Someone who is a [[Binary Genders|binary]] gender, and relates/connects to xenogenders (without identifying as xenic) may call themself [[meliusgender]]. |

Xenogender is an umbrella term for non-binary gender identities that cannot be fully described through their relation to concepts typically used to describe gender such as male, female, woman, man, masculinity, femininity, androgyny, neutrality, agenrinity, or outherinity. Instead, xenogenders can best be described through how they relate to things, beings, or concepts that most individuals don't think of as having to do with gender, such as animals, plants, things, or concepts. It is sometimes described as any gender that "cannot be contained by sapi understandings of gender". The gender quality associated with xenogenders is xeninity. The opposite of xenogender is anthrogender.
Xenogender individuals often have a strong understanding of how their gender feels to them, however they often find that there aren't any words for their experiences, this is called a lexical gap. In order to fill that gap xenogender individuals often describe their gender through metaphors, by saying their gender is like, is influenced by, or shares qualities with something else.
When described, xenogenders often fall into one of three categories:
- Nouns and Archetypes: instead of saying how one's gender relates to masculinity and femininity, one says one's gender is, or is like, a kind of animal, an imaginary being, a part of nature, an abstract concept, or a symbol. These are called noungenders.
- Aesthetic and/or Synaesthetic Perceptions: when a gender is described using things like texture, size, shape, time, light, sound, or other sensory characteristics. These can often overlap with noungenders. These are called aesthetigenders.
- Neurotypes: when a neurodivergent individual's neurotype(s) is/are an inseparable part of their gender identity. These genders are exclusive to individuals of the neurotype(s) associated with them. These are called neurogenders.
Other categories of xenogenders include:
- Situations: when one's gender changes based on the situation. These are called mutogenders.
- Nonhuman Identity/kintypes: when an alterhuman's identification, nonhuman plural system member, or other nonhuman identifying individual's identification is an inseparable part of their gender identity or heavily affects or correlates to ones gender. These genders are exclusive to beings of the kintype(s) or similar associated with them. These are called alterhumangenders, kingenders or genderNH.
- Oneself: when one's gender is so much just them that no one else can even experience it. These are called nominalgenders.
Someone who is a binary gender, and relates/connects to xenogenders (without identifying as xenic) may call themself meliusgender.
