===Where can I find a list of ''
There are infinitely many pronoun sets. There are as many pronoun set as there are possible combinations of letters and symbols. There is no way to keep track of them all. Literally anyone can make a pronoun set and there are no “rules” for what that pronoun set can be.

This wiki is a testament to my attempt to do exactly this and I am literally no closer to finishing than I was when I started. For every page that is added five new identities are spontaneously created. I am Sisyphus and this is my rock.

Line 137:
===Can I be [insert ace-spec term here] and [insert other sexuality here] at the same time?===
Yes. One can belong to the asexual spectrum but still only hold attraction to certain genders. For example, a demisexual who is only attracted to those they are bonded with may also be homosexual. The only case in which an ace-spec could not be combined with another sexuality is when one feels absolutely no sexual attraction, referred to as [[Omnisexual]].

===Can I be trans if I don't want to have surgery/go on hormones/wear different clothes/[insert activity here]?===
Yes. There are many reasons as to why some transgender individuals may not transition. This can include personal beliefs, preferences in comfort, lack of dysphoria, and many more reasons. It should not be implied that transgenders are all rushing to get a sex change. Many individuals around you are transgender and you may not even know it.

* Anyone whose gender is not strictly
Genderqueer
* Anyone who has a non-normative (queer) experience with gender. Which can include:
* Anyone whose gender is not strictly
* Anyone who is gender non-conforming.
The two are often used interchangeably to refer to someone whose gender is not strictly
===What's the difference between bigender and androgyne?===
[[File:Androgyne bigender.png|thumb]]I think this is best explained with an example. See the image for the visual example.
In this example I have used a simplified gender spectrum with male or masculine on one side and female or feminine on the other side. Individual A has a single androgynous gender. This gender is somewhere in between male and female, but is not one or the other. This individual is androgyne but is ''not'' bigender, because they only experience a single gender.
Individual B experiences two distinct and separate genders. One gender is male, the other gender is female. This individual is bigender ''and'' androgyne.
Individual C experiences two distinct and separate genders. One gender is male, the other gender is something outside the male/masculine-female/feminine gender spectrum (possibly [[neutrois]], or another [[abinary]] gender). This individual is bigender but is ''not'' androgyne, because they're genders are not simultaneously masculine ''and'' feminine.
===As someone with [insert disorder/neurodivergency here], [insert neurogender here] offends me.===
Neurogenders are
Not everybody with a neurodivergency identifies with a neurogender. Just because you have [insert disorder/neurodivergence here] does
Neurogenders are used to say that ones experience with [insert disorder here] it
It is not "glorifying" or "downplaying" [insert disorder here]. Recognizing that one's gender is affected by something doesn't mean that it's "glorifying" it.
Examples include:
* Autism leads to
* Someone may feel apathetic about their gender because they have a disorder or neurodivergence that makes them feel apathetic about many things.
* Someone who is unable to define their gender due to mental exhaustion caused by [insert disorder here].
===Can you explain xenogenders?===
If you ask a man to describe
Now, imagine that words like "man", "woman", "masculine", or "feminine" didn't exist. These
The only reason why words like masculine or feminine "make sense" to us is because we have been socialized since birth to recognize masculinity and femininity. If you were to actually stop and try to explain exactly what masculinity or femininity is, you'd find that you can only describe them through metaphor and abstract qualities, just like how xenogenders are described.

Whichever pronouns you feel comfortable with.
===Can I use [insert pronouns here] if I like to be called sister/brother/daughter/son
Yes.
Line 254 ⟶ 263:
===How do I use she/they pronouns or he/they pronouns.===
She/they means they go by both she/her pronouns and by they/them pronouns. He/they means they go by both he/him pronouns and by they/them pronouns. Either use the two pronoun sets interchangeable or choose one or the other, depending on what the user prefers.
===How do I use [insert pronouns set here]?===
