'''Agender''' is also called '''genderblank''', '''genderfree''', '''genderless''', '''gendervoid''', '''non-gendered''', or '''null gender'''. Agender is an identity under the [[nonbinary]] and [[transgender]] [[umbrella terms]]. Agender individuals find that they have no [[gender identity]], although some define this more as having a gender identity that is neutral.
'''Xenogender''' (coined by Baaphomett in 2014, from ''xeno'' alien + "gender") is 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." Xenogender isn't defined in relation to "[[female]]" or "[[male]]" (the [[binary gender]]s), but by other kinds of ideas that most people don't think of as having to do with gender. When people talk about nonbinary gender, [[pronouns#they|they]] often find that there aren't any words for their experiences. This is called a lexical gap. In order to fill a lexical gap, this wiki takes up "xenogender" as an [[umbrella term]] for an entire category of nonbinary genders that are defined by characteristics with no relation whatsoever to "female" or "male."
