{{notice|text='''Note to editors:''' In order to keep the wiki accurate to the lived experiences of nonbinary people, identities should only be listed here if they cite from at least two separate external sources, showing both: | |||
# origin (such as a source about how the term was coined, or at least history of the term's use), and | |||
# evidence that the identity has actually been used as someone's own identity. Acceptable evidence includes presence in at least one Gender Census result, a news article, or published nonfiction book describing an actual person using it. A pride flag designs, personal blogs and dead links don't count as evidence.}} | |||

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."

In the 2020 Worldwide Gender Census, 85 of the responses (0.35%) called themselves "xenogender."<ref name="GC2020">[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1j7mwkZVtQYHxNlgS2J8onVCpVz-l1aJbBzG7msN5rxs/edit#gid=260963482 GC2020 Public Copy], 1 November 2020</ref> Far more in the census called themselves by specific genders under the xenogender umbrella, though that is hard to quantify or differentiate. Individually, any given xenogender is rare, and many seem to have only been proposed, but never used by anybody. | In the 2020 Worldwide Gender Census, 85 of the responses (0.35%) called themselves "xenogender."<ref name="GC2020">[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1j7mwkZVtQYHxNlgS2J8onVCpVz-l1aJbBzG7msN5rxs/edit#gid=260963482 GC2020 Public Copy], 1 November 2020</ref> Far more in the census called themselves by specific genders under the xenogender umbrella, though that is hard to quantify or differentiate.
