'''Xenogender''' is stupid. There is a difference between aesthetic and gender. Learn the difference idiots. |

Xenic people often have a strong understanding of how their gender feels to them, however they often find that there aren't any words for their experiences, this is called a lexical gap. In order to fill that gap xenogender people often describe their gender through metaphors, by saying their gender is like, is influenced by, or shares qualities with something else. |
|||
When described, xenogenders often fall into one of three categories: |
|||
*Nouns and Archetypes: Instead of saying how one's gender relates to masculinity and femininity, one says one's gender is, or is like, a kind of animal, an imaginary being, a part of nature, an abstract concept, or a symbol. These are called [[Noungender|noungenders]]. |
|||
*Aesthetics and Synaesthetic Perceptions: When a gender is described using things like texture, size, shape, time, light, sound, or other sensory characteristics. These can often overlap with noungenders. These are called [[Aesthetigender|aesthetigenders]]. |
|||
*Neurotypes: When a neurodivergent person's neurotype(s) is/are an inseparable part of their gender identity. These genders are exclusive to people of the neurotype(s) associated with them. These are called [[Neurogender|neurogenders]]. |
|||
Other categories of xenogenders include: |
|||
*Situations: When one's gender changes based on the situation. These are called [[Mutogender|mutogenders]]. |
|||
*Kintypes: When an otherkin person's kintype(s) is/are an inseparable part of their gender identity. These genders are [[Exclusive Genders|exclusive]] to people of the kintype(s) associated with them. These are called [[Kingender|kingenders]]. |
|||
*Oneself: When one's gender is so much just them that no one else can even experience it. These are called [[Nominalgender|nominalgenders]]. |

== History == |
|||
The term xenogender was coined by Tumblr user Baaphomett in 2014<ref>http://purrloinsucks.tumblr.com/post/95720973644/masterpost-of-genders-coined-by-baaphomett</ref> |
|||
The prefix xeno- indicates some having to do with aliens, which is appropriate as xenogender are unrelated to human genders. |

The xenogender flag was created on January 15, 2017 by DeviantArt user Pastelmemer.<ref>https://www.deviantart.com/pride-flags/art/Xenogender-1-656548427</ref><ref>https://www.deviantart.com/pride-flags/art/Xenogender-2-656548421</ref> The central symbol is the astronomical sign for the asteroid Iris, a Greek goddess of rainbows. The colors chosen are common colors present in iris flowers. The central stripe is yellow, a common non-binary color. It is opposed to purple, which usually stands for [[Androgyne|androgynous]] non-binary genders which have some combination of male and female identities, yellow is often used to symbolize genders which have nothing to do with the binary in any way, which includes xenogenders. |

The alternate flag was created by an anonymous user and Mod Hermy from Pride-Flags Deviantart.<ref>[https://www.deviantart.com/pride-flags/art/Xenogender-3-664036257 Alternate xenogender flag]</ref> |
