In the 2019 Worldwide Gender Census, 0.35% (40) of the responses called themselves "xenogender."

* '''[[X-gender]] (Ｘジェンダー, ekkusujendā)'''. In Japan, this is a common transgender identity that isn't female or male, much as the words "genderqueer" and "nonbinary" has come to be in the English-speaking world, to such a degree that "X-gender" is typically used as the Japanese translation for these.<ref name="RoxieSelected">Marilyn Roxie.
