''' | '''Xenogender''' (coined in 2014 by Tumblr user Baaphomett in a submission to the MOGAI-Archive blog, from ''xeno'' alien + "gender")<ref name="baaphomett masterpost">Baaphomett. "Masterpost of genders coined by Baaphomett." ''Mogai-Archive.'' Original post where these were coined, which is lost: http://mogai-archive.tumblr.com/post/91736136744/masterpost-of-genders-coined-by-baaphomett Archive of that post: https://purrloinsucks.tumblr.com/post/95720973644/masterpost-of-genders-coined-by-baaphomett Archive of that archive: https://archive.is/yULU0#selection-169.2-169.93</ref> 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."<ref name="baaphomett masterpost" /> 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, [[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." The adjective "xenine" means "of or pertaining to xenogenders". The noun form of xenine is xenity.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://momma-mogai-sphinx.tumblr.com/post/183175311934/im-sort-of-new-to-al-of-this-what-exactly-does|title=Anonymous asked: i'm sort of new to al of this, what exactly does ‘xenine’ mean?|date=2 March 2019}}</ref> | ||
Because a [[gender binary]] society doesn't give much in the way of roles or descriptions for nonbinary genders, some transgender and nonbinary people address the challenge of describing their unusual gender identities by creative methods, referring to concepts that aren't usually seen as related to gender. This has been observed in very young nonbinary people: | Because a [[gender binary]] society doesn't give much in the way of roles or descriptions for nonbinary genders, some transgender and nonbinary people address the challenge of describing their unusual gender identities by creative methods, referring to concepts that aren't usually seen as related to gender.
