Obscurian is an umbrella term for genders that are unable to be named, quantified, understood, explained, and/or determined. Obscurian is not to be confused with questioning, as a questioning person may end up having an understandable and explainable gender, and obscurian may be used as a permanent label. It is under the kenochoric umbrella.
While obscurian is meant to be an umbrella term, it can also be used as a gender on its own. Subsets of this term include obscurique[1].
