hi, i wrote a carrd discussing xenogenders! i talk about the coining of the word, what defines a xenogender, and some reasons why xenogenders are valid identities. i provide sources for my statements, and in general, i’m trying to make this the ultimate resource to defend xenogenders.
gonna ping some people i follow to ask for boosts for visibility: @neopronouns @lovemogai @hallowgender @mogai-monarchs @pluriqueer

I love cephalopods, so here are some xenogenders!
Cephalopodagender/Cephadian: a xenogender related to species of the cephalopoda class (e.g. octopuses, squid, cuttlefish, and nautiluses). Can include characteristics of their behavior or habitat (applies to subtypes as well).
-> Subtypes
🐙 Octopodagender/Octodian: a xenogender related to octopus species.
🦑 Teuthidagender/Teudian: a xenogender related to squid species (excluding vampire squid).
🌊 Sepiidagender/Sepiian: a xenogender related to cuttlefish species.
🐚 Nautilidagender/Nautilian: a xenogender related to nautiluses.
Edit to the xenogender flag… not rly pleased but I think I prefer the deeper tones to the soft pastels in the original, can someone make a better edit than I?
so i made a quick high-res edit of your colors, and i gotta say, it’s grown on me!
although i do like the original xenogender flag, it’s always felt lacking to me. the pastels, the overall smoothness of it… idk what exactly it is, but it’s never really described how the xenogender experience feels to me. i also don’t like that it has the same number of stripes as some traditional lesbian flags. i expanded on your ideas of darker colors and came up with this:
oof, my orange doesn’t come through as well as it did in medibang, but it looks alright ig. i think i’m going to rework this in a bit to make a sort of dark-to-pastel gradient, bur rn i think i’m happy with it! and as with my other alt flags, i don’t wanna push for this to become a community-wide one without input from others.
really not enjoying the recent push for xenogenders to only be used by neurodivergent people,, it feels like so many genders coined in the twitter mogai community are listed as neurodivergent-exclusive for no reason other than the fact that so many people now think xenogenders can’t be used by neurotypicals. it’s perfectly fine to coin neurogenders or to want a gender to only be used by neurodivergent people due to certain characteristics of the term, but if you’re just coining a general xenogender, please don’t make it neurodivergent-exclusive.
like, yes, it’s very common for xenogenders to be coined by and used by neurodivergent people, but we are not the only people who benefit from these terms. spreading the idea that xenogenders can only be used by neurodivergent folks is going to harm neurotypical trans people. it makes me sad to see neurotypical questioning people asking if they’re allowed to use xenogenders because they’ve seen so many younger/newer community members claiming they can’t.
(not to mention that the idea that only neurodivergent people can have ‘weird’ genders is. kind of ableist.)
