So.. what exactly are xenogenders?

Xenogenders are a nonbinary gender identity that cannot be contained by human understandings of gender; more concerned with crafting other methods of gender categorization and hierarchy such as those relating to animals, plants, or other creatures/things. It’s mainly an umbrella term for genders with themes such as nouns, archetypes, synesthetic experiences, neurodivergences. ¹

I understood none of that..

Well in simpler terms, some people do not find themself fitting in human genders, like trans, nonbinary, or something else. So to fix that, they create their own gender to feel more comfortable in their own skin. The gender can be of almost anything that you can think of. A lot of the people you will see using xenogenders will be neurodivergent as it affects how they perceive themself and gender. ² ³

However, some genders will be stated that they are only for the neurodivergent, these are called Neurogenders. In these genders, the fact they are tied to being neurodivergent also ties in with their gender.

Yes, you can make a gender of almost anything, but its only almost. Some people will make genders to mock us, we do not reclaim them or like them in anyway. Simply block, report, and move on with these people, as they are only trying to look xenogenders look bad. Many people in this community DONT make genders of stuff they shouldnt but instead make genders for others or themselves that they know is okay.

People actually use these?

Believe it or not, yes! Many people feel very comfortable using xenogenders and it definitely helps with them feeling more comfortable in their own skin. It can also bring joy seeing a gender describing exactly how you feel! dm for more questions!
