Another common topic for debate and varying opinions among transmedicalists is xenogender identities. Some transmedicalists fully support xenogenders, some are ambivalent towards them, and some do not support them. Transmedicalists who support xenogenders believe that different gender experiences are valid, and transmedicalists who don't support xenogenders may posit that gender is not just a construct or an arbitrary feeling, but a concrete reality which therefore can't be related to things like animals or concepts. Many transmedicalists may support aspects of both of the aforementioned arguments about xenogenders, but some might not have any opinions one way or the other regarding xenogenders. |

An important conversation to be had around xenogenders is their potential impact on neurodivergent people and especially neurodivergent cisn't and trans people. Some (but not all) neurodivergent may find it difficult to understand the concept of xenogenders, and some may feel that xenogenders being a sort of "divergent" kind of identity while being associated with aesthetics delegitimizes other forms of divergent experiences like their own. It's important that neurodivergent voices are centered in the discussion around xenogenders and that their opinions be taken seriously and steadfastly and listened to with an open heart, as this Wiki supports xenogenders, but it also doesn't stand for disrespect or intolerance towards neurodivergent communities. As one Reddit user mentioned, xenogenders have been directly harmful to them and many autistic transgender people, and they believe that for that reason, neurodivergence and xenogenders are important discussions to have in tandem with each other, not separately. |
