'''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.
