'''Xenogender''' is an [[Umbrella Term|umbrella term]] for [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] gender identities that cannot be described through their relation to [[Masculine|masculinity]], [[Feminine|femininity]], [[Androgynous|androgyny]], [[Neutral|neutrality]], [[Outherine|outherinity]], [[Agenrine|agenrinity]], or terms commonly used to describe human gender. Instead, xenogenders can best be described through how they relate to things, beings, or concepts that most people 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". People who identify as a xenogender may call themselves [[xenic]]. The gender quality associated with xenogenders is [[Xenine|xeninity]]. The opposite of xenogender is [[anthrogender]]. |
|||
Xenic people 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 people 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]]. |
|||
* Aesthetics and 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]]. |
|||
* Neurotypes: When a neurodivergent person's neurotype(s) is/are an inseparable part of their gender identity. These genders are exclusive to people of the neurotype(s) associated with them. These are called [[Neurogender|neurogenders]]. |
|||
Other categories of xenogenders include: |
|||
Pharrell Williams |
|||
* Situations: When one's gender changes based on the situation. These are called [[Mutogender|mutogenders]]. |
|||
- |
|||
* Kintypes: When an otherkin person's kintype(s) is/are an inseparable part of their gender identity. These genders are [[Exclusive Genders|exclusive]] to people of the kintype(s) associated with them. These are called [[Kingender|kingenders]]. |

And the jungle is still my home |

But she blew out my fire |

And now my killer instincts are gone |

What did you do? |

Everything lost its worth to me |

Everything in this world |

Everything did occur to me that |

My life is so amazing |

Let me explain how it got that way |

Well if happiness was standing at your door |
|||
I mean tell me what would you say? |

But I am no liar and you rearranged my home |

And I wonder how I don't get tired |

Of loving the three of you instead of what I own |

What are you doing to me? |

What's so drastic all my friends see? |

You say nothing, nothing, nothing |

But it's really something, something, something |
|||
You won't answer me |
|||
And all the while |
|||
My heart just melts |
|||
From your innocent smile |
|||
It's strange |
|||
Oh god I think I have changed |

Oh |
|||
There's one thing that's sure |
|||
Is everyday I love you some more |
|||
My hand's been handcuffed |
|||
And loved by you |

So is there really anything I could do? |

Xenogender is an umbrella term for non-binary gender identities that cannot be described through their relation to masculinity, femininity, androgyny, neutrality, outherinity, agenrinity, or terms commonly used to describe human gender. Instead, xenogenders can best be described through how they relate to things, beings, or concepts that most people 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". People who identify as a xenogender may call themselves xenic. The gender quality associated with xenogenders is xeninity. The opposite of xenogender is anthrogender.
Xenic people 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 people 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.
