Let's talk.

Okay. Xenogenders are identifications outside of male or female, but also not exactly in the non-binary spectrum. I believe that xenogenders are genders you identify as alongside a gender or agender. Otherwise, I just couldn't explain about 75% of xenogenders. Let's talk about noungenders. From the LGBTQA wiki: "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." Let's talk about that. That's valid - but then there's identifying as animals. Okay, uh, no. I understand that you can feel certain ways, like.. having personality traits such as a wolf's loyalty (there's a flaw in that, but that's not the point) - but that doesn't make you a wolf. It's like being transracial - you were born white, and you identify as black. Like wtf??? Anyways, then there's imaginary beings. Are you talking about aliens? (laugh track) Because that'd make a lot of sense. XENO-gender. Anyways, let's talk about actual imaginary beings. (ALIENS ARE REAL.) You mean like giants? You can't identify as large. Now, abstract concepts! Now we're talking. A gender related to things like the abstract concept of god - that's fine. I don't know how exactly that would work - but okay. Symbols. I don't understand that. I don't get it. I will try to respect it, but.. I just do not understand. Aesthetigenders. Genders described as textures and adjectives? I mean, alright. Neurotypes - As a neurodivergent person myself, I am biased. So, let's take a hard look at this. Sorry, wait a second - exclusive? If a person feels a certain gender, they are that gender. Sure, 2-spirited people can only be First Nations Canadians, but that's because it's a cultural thing. There's no difference between 2-spirit and male-female bigender. Things like autigender, I get it, you can only be autigender if you.. you know.. have autism, but you can't identify as autistic. That's a disability, not a gender. Mutogender - I have nothing negative to say about this. Kintypes - sorry, what? Kintypes seem to be part of this massive Internet movement where people identify as characters from Squid Game and such. Also, identifying as non-human. Sorry, no. Transracial again - you were born a human and aren't? Too bad. I know this sounds like transphobia - but it's not - humans can't just identify as non-human. Furries are a different thing. (thread below)

Furries do not identify as animals, they just take an interest in anthropomorphic animals. Now, oneself genders. These are.. fine. There's nothing I can really say about it. There's no time to talk about all the xenogenders - because no - but overall, xenogenders seem mostly like people trying to be different when they're not. However, some of them, like aesthetigenders, some noungenders, mutogenders, and oneself genders, are real. Gamegender is a thing that I feel like should have a different definition. Right now, it's a gender that relates to a video game, but it should be feeling a different gender when gaming. Happy day. Don't argue with my opinion, because it won't change. Unless you have something valuable to add to the conversation, in which case, please go ahead. I would like to be open-minded on this.

Something I would like to add as someone with autism was that xenogenders have often been used to fetishize and infantilize us. People who are NT will use xenogenders, and then say that autistic people, like me, need them because apparently we (autistic people) can’t understand gender in the way that NT people can.

facts

I agree with this because identifying as any gender is fine, be who you want to be! but stuff like identifying as another race, animal, or a disability!? These things arent genders they’re something else entirely so it wouldnt make sense to consider that as lgbtq+ if it isnt a gender or sexual orientation

I approve this
