Xenogender: Difference between revisions

'''Xenogender''' (coined by Baaphomett in 2014, from ''xeno'' alien + "gender")<ref>Baaphomett. "Masterpost of genders coined by Baaphomett."

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."
