| Another paradoxical gender is oppogender, meaning "when you feel/are two (or more) contradicting or generally ‘opposite’ genders at the same time, such as being simultaneously completely gender-null and another gender." The post listed several alternative names as well: contrarigender, divergender, and discrepantgender.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://xeno-aligned.tumblr.com/post/188482688309/contrarigender-oppogender-divergender|title=Xeno Aligned — Contrarigender / Oppogender / Divergender / Discrepantgender|date=2020|website=Tumblr|access-date=29 July 2023}}</ref>
