    '''Pseudogender''' is a [[Gender Identity|gender identity]] that describes someone who is accustomed to [[Gender Expression|presenting]] as their [[Assigned Gender|assigned gender]] in public, but identifies with a different gender identity(s).
    '''Pseudogender''' is a gender identity used by someone who is accustomed to their AGAB role as a disguise they use, don't feel uncomfortable with it but would prefer being treated as their true gender and might feel unwell if the binary gender role is fully forced on them. It's similar to [[Demigender]] but with focus that the AGAB is not a part of the individual, it's like a comfortable mask one uses. The Pseudogender may have any gender expression and use any pronoun, although usually don't feel uncomfortable to be called by the binary [[Pronouns|pronoun]]. Instead of using the binary terms [[Man|boy]] or [[Woman|girl]] it's recommended to use pseudovenus and pseudomars as a modifier, as female and male are the only roles imposed by society (AIAB individuals, if inclined to use the label, might want to include [[Intersex]] in their true gender). But if the person think it fits better, they can use pseudogirl, pseudoboy, pseudowoman, pseudoera, pseudovir, etc.


    Pseudogender individuals don't feel uncomfortable with their assigned gender but do not identify with it and would prefer being treated as their true gender identity. They might feel uncomfortable if the assigned gender role is forced on them.

    Unlike [[demigender]] folk, pseudogender individuals do not identify with their assigned gender and instead think of it as a mask, disguise, or performance.
    It can be combined with the true gender of the individual, if necessary, like Pseudovenus [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] or Pseudomars [[agender]], anything that fits. Or, simply, don't mention the true gender if it's undetermined.

    Pseudogender individuals may specify the gender they express as by using terms such as '''pseudofemale''', '''pseudomale''', '''pseudoera''', '''pseudovir''', etc.

    Pseudogender may be combined with the true gender identity of the individual as well. For example, pseudovenus [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] or Pseudomars [[agender]].
