'''Juxera''' is defined as a gender that is connected to femininity, but in a different way to how women are connected to femininity. Juxera individuals don't partially identify with other genders, as juxera is a gender in and of itself.<ref name="gender-resource">{{Cite web|url=https://gender-resource.tumblr.com/post/189770222828/proxvir-juxera-proxangi-juxtaneu-and-nixic|title=Proxvir, Juxera, Proxangi, Juxtaneu and Nixic Identities|website=Gender Resource|access-date=2020-09-05|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230525005947/https://gender-resource.tumblr.com/post/189770222828/proxvir-juxera-proxangi-juxtaneu-and-nixic|archive-date=17 July 2023}}</ref>
