'''Outherine''' (pronounced oh-u-ther-ine), also spelled '''outhrine''', is an [[umbrella term]] for the qualities associated with [[atrinary]] [[Anthrogender|anthrogendersanthrogender]]s (genders[[gender]]s unrelated to [[masculinity]], [[femininity]], [[androgyny]], [[null]]ity, or [[Neutral|neutralityneutral]]ity "yet not exactly [[xenine]]"<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" />). The coiner of the term states that there are generally four qualities used to explain or define gender identities, expressions, and connections: feminine, masculine, androgynous and neutral. These four concepts are subjective yet they're possible to imagine.<ref name=":0" /> However there are genders that are unrelated to these qualities, such as [[maverique]], [[ilyagender]], and [[aporagender]]. These genders have entirely new qualities. These new qualities are known as outherinity. The adjectival form is outherine (the equivalent of feminine or masculine). The noun form is outherinity (the equivalent of femininity or masculinity) peopleindividuals will also sometimes use outherity.
Outherinity is a concept to describe these new qualities, or essences, in general. Since these genders are vast and peopleindividuals can experience them all differently, outherinity it is not a single quality or concept. It describes not just a fifth quality, but also a sixth, seventh, eighth, etc quality- anything that is unrelated to masculinity, femininity, neutrality, or androgyny can be described as outherine. Outherine qualities are as subjective as the main four qualities. Only the personindividual in question can determine whether or not their identities (or expressions) are outherine.
Outhrine can also be used for unique combinations of the main four gender qualities. For example, if someone is simultaneously neutral and masculine yet they see it as something different or separated, combining to be more than the sum of its parts, then it can be described as outhrine.
