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> | '''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.
