Xenogenders, or xenoidentities, are identities/genders based off of concepts, characters, objects, animals, etc. Usually neurodivergent people use these labels (not all do!) but others can as well. It’s usually used to help explain your interests, how you’re like, how your gender feels like, what your gender feels connected to, etc. These are NOT intended to mock any community, especially not the trans nor the nonbinary. Just because someone’s xenogender doesn’t mean they are transphobic or they identify as what the xenogender is connected to. For example, a xenogender can be froggender, and can be used to describe the connection between frogs and your gender, or the way you may have a froglike personality, but froggenders most likely don’t identify as a frog, hence why xenogender/xenoidentity isn’t kinning. Xenogenders or xenoidentities are part of LGBTQIAX+. They may not always be treated as genders, but they are still valid within the community. You can also use these for fun!

'Xenogender' is an umbrella term that, by definition, encompasses gender identities/gender labels 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." Xenogenders are usually based off of, inspired by, or are in relation to, various concepts, such as objects, plants, animals, ect. Xenogenders do not mean that someone "identifies as" thing. Rather, they feel as though their gender is related to that thing, "inspired by" that thing, and similar experiences (which yes, is different than "identifying as" something). Xenogenders are often used by neurodivergent people (people who are not neurotypical), because said people find them to be an easier way to describe their gender identity experience. And while there are neurogenders, which are exclusive to neurodivergent people/people which specific neurodivergencies, other xenogenders can be used by anyone and everyone, if they feel as though a certain label fits them. Because pronouns do not equal gender, xenogenders are not the same thing as neopronouns. However, many people who use xenogenders often use their relating sets of neopronouns.
