Instead, xenogenders can best be described through how they relate to things, beings, or concepts that most [[Alterhuman|folkel]] 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 human understandings of gender". The gender quality associated with xenogenders is [[Xenine|xeninity]]. The opposite of xenogender is [[anthrogender]]. |

The colors chosen are common colors present in iris flowers. The central stripe is yellow, a common non-binary color. It is opposed to purple, which usually stands for [[Androgyne|androgynous]] non-binary genders which have some combination of male and female identities, yellow is often used to symbolize genders which have nothing to do with the binary in any way, which includes xenogenders. |
