Xenospecies

noun | \ˈzē-nō-ˌspē-shēz\

1. An identity adopted by individuals who do not align themselves with any known earthly species, including humans, animals, or any biologically classified lifeforms.

2. A self-defined or metaphysical category that embraces existence outside or beyond traditional biological taxonomies, often encompassing invented or conceptual species that provide a sense of belonging or self-understanding.

3. A term that signifies ontological otherness from Earth-bound life, rejecting species-centric identity in favor of a personal or collective identity untethered by earthly evolutionary lineage.
“I don’t fit into any species identity on Earth, so I identify as xenospecies.”

“When people ask what species I am, I just say xenospecies — it’s easier than explaining everything.”
