Xylogender is a xenogender and specifically a musicagender which is based around xylophones and their music. It has two possible definitions:
- A gender based around xylophones, their aesthetics, and at the core, xylophone music and sounds. Since every instrument can be made to produce different kinds of sounds, this could be a diverse gender experience, but the general aesthetic of xylophones, cheerful and upbeat, unique tones, among other musical aesthetics, is the core of this gender.
- A subset of genderpiano where someone's gender is affected by playing and/or listening to the xylophone. One may feel their gender more strongly or feel a different gender/gender identity entirely when playing or listening to the xylophone. For example, one may be a demiboy normally, but be juxera when playing to and/or listening to the xylophone.
Someone who is xylogender could also be both of those definitions as well as either one of them.
History
The term xylogender was coined as part of a series of new musicagenders based on instruments on March 8, 2021 by FANDOM user Reign of the breadsticcs.
Flag
The xylogender flag was also designed by Reign of the breadsticcs on March 8, 2021. The rainbow color scheme of the flag represents how xylophone music comes in a variety of flavors and feelings, and the intensely bright shades of each color represent the vibrant and bright, energized, entirely unique yet upbeat tones most commonly associated with xylophone music.
