Yonderine is an umbrella term referring to qualities that transcend the concept of gender, being neither masculine, feminine, androgynous, epicene, neutral, agender, aporine, outherine, xenine or any other such quality of gender that exists or will ever come to exist. A sense of self that exists beyond the binary, the non-binary, the anonbinary and the concept of gender itself.
The noun form of the term is yonderinity. One who is yonderine would be called a yond. If one is a yond, it means that they do not participate in the concept of gender because they exist beyond it. Yonderine individuals may have non-gendered connections and attachments to a particular gender or genders.
If a “gender” is yonderine, it could be referred to as a yingender (yondering-in-nature).
Etymology
From English, “Yonder”, meaning “at some distance in a direction indicated” and the Greek/Latin suffix “-ine”, meaning “of or pertaining to”.
