A Xenogender is a gender that is made for peoples interests/struggles. It is most commonly used by neurodivergentpeople because they have more intense interests than others. Some neurodivergent people have a more complicated relationship with gender so these help with that also!

a xenogender is a gender identity outside of the binary (also known as neogenders), usually made by a neurodivergent person. some neurodivergent people interpret life and society differently. due to this, they may also interpret social constructs such as gender differently. a neurodivergent person may struggle trying to find a term that fits their gender so they take something of comfort and make a gender identitiy tied to it! hence a xenogender! most xenogenders are based on objects such as mindsets, plants, animals and other things people may find comfort in!
xenogenders are awesome!! it’s so great that people who may have trouble understanding gender are able to find terms that fit them

Xenogender is a term that is used to refer to describe what someone's gender feels like to them. It is a great tool that many use to express their individuality and how they feel they are inside, and was originally intended to help neurodivergent people discuss their gender with others.
People who use xenogenders don't actually identify their gender as the word they've used prefacing "-gender". (ex. cat-gender doesn't mean that person identifies as a cat.)
There is a misconception that using one of these makes someone trans and/or nonbinary. This is untrue. Xenogenders are made for everyone to find what describes them best, and even cisgender people can (and do) use them and new neopronouns to describe their more unique feelings of themselves to others.
However, it is primarily LGBT+ people, particularly nonbinary people, who use them currently. But that doesn't mean that you can assume the gender of someone based on a xenogender identity. (For example, binary trans people use these as well, and using a xenogender doesn't make them a nonbinary person.)

"I heard that person is using a xenogender catgender and cat pronouns now. What, they identify as a cat?"
"Actually, no. Someone who is cat gender isn't identifying as a cat. They aren't trans-species. That person probably feels that cat's gender is small and warm or something like that. I'm sure cat would be willing to explain it to you if you asked cat."

A xenogender is a gender that can't be entirely described by human concepts of gender, like male, female, or no gender.
It can be complicated, but xenogenders are often described as feeling like objects, sensations, songs, feelings, concepts, etc.
Some people may create xenogenders based on things of comfort/interest to them.
Xenogenders are not transphobic and they are completely valid and real.

Ringo: I have a xenogender! Mine feels like the way bubbles look and move when you blow on them.
Riley: Sweet! My xenogenders don't feel like that, but one of mine feels like the way my keyboard feels when I press the keys.
Marco: I don't have xenogenders, but I'm not going to be a jerk and pretend I know your gender better than you guys do. I'm glad you've found yourselves. :D

Xenogedner is all non-binary/genderqueer gender related to person intrest. These gender identities are typically defined metaphorically in relation to animals, plants, things or sensory characteristics. Some nonbinary people have mental variations (mental illnesses, neurological conditions, or neurodivergence). Some who have mental variations see these as an influence on-- or an inseparable part of-- their gender identity. These are called neurogenders, and most of them are not described on this page, but on the neurogender page. A person can have more than a one xenogender. Some people find it easier to perceive their gender identity by evoking familiar archetypes. Instead of giving references to how their gender relates to maleness and femaleness, they say their gender is-- or is like-- a kind of animal, an imaginary being, a part of nature, an abstract concept, or a symbol.

Xenogender isn't defined in relation to "female" or "male" (the binary genders), but by other kinds of ideas that most people don't think of as having to do with gender. Typically oneself chooses things they like to more accuratly decribe themselves better then they think binary labels could do.
Person 1: "I use the xenogender catgender! I use nya/nyaself because they are fun and make me feel comfortable!"
Person 2: "That's cool! I use puppygender because I have a complex identity regarding gender, I know I'm not a dog btw!"
