XENOGENDERS
Before you start looking, what exactly are xenogenders?
Xenogenders were originally created as a way for neurodivergent individuals to be able to describe their gender since their understanding of their gender can greatly differ from the understanding of gender experienced by neurotypical individuals. Don't think that neurotypical individuals who want to use xenogenders as part of their identity can't because of the original purpose of xenogenders. Although anybody can use xenogenders, some xenogenders are closed for only certain groups of people and should be respected. Well then, what are xenogenders? They're terms to describe one's gender in a way connected to or related to an object, a food, a character, a feeling, or anything else that one feels their gender is similar to. Xenogenders are NOT the same as being alterhuman, as being therian or otherkin means you identify as something other than human but xenogenders are not identifying as something. Rather, it's feeling a connection of your gender to something else. We hope this helps you understand xenogenders if you didn't already!
