Genderfriend 

A gender neutral term for a boyfriend, girlfriend, or an enbyfriend. It’s more commonly used for non-binary/genderqueer people, but it can be used for binary people, or to refer to partners of different gender identities.
It can also be used if your partner is genderfluid, demiboy, demigirl, bigender, pangender, omnigender, etc, and you don’t know what to call them at present.
“Are you two genderfriends?” The man asked the pair, as they were holding hands.
(Here this would be referring to two people of different genders.)

“Can you hand this to my genderfriend, Alex? They’re over there, in the green shirt.”
(Here this would be referring to an individual, who is likely non-binary or genderqueer.)

“I honestly think you have terrible taste in significant others. I’ve never liked ANY of your genderfriends.”
(Here this would be referring to someone’s multiple past partners of different genders that the speaker is expressing their dislike for.)

gendertrender 

Someone, typically a female on tumblr, who makes up and claims to be a certain gender in an attempt to feel unique. They may claim to be demiboy/genderfluid/agender/stargender. Gendertrenders will make up genders and claim gender is social construct, while sadly shitting on the trans community by making it look like a joke. These people also seem to contradict themselves on whether or not clothes have a gender, and will demand you refer to them as xe or bunself.
