Do you feel like neoumbrella and neoterms/genders similar/adjacent to them should have a specific name for themselves considering they’re usually separate/independent from, or at least not inherently, xenogenders but also don’t seem to be inherently anthrogenders/labels (man, woman, masc, fem, etc)? All neogender means, if I’m correct, is all genders/terms/labels that were made/coined within a recent time, and any gender/label, (xeno, anthro, and [potential name] alike), are neogenders/labels so it would need a specific name for them, no? Idk just throwing a thought out there…to see what you and other people might think and whether or not it does more harm than good..
youre right, if we're going literal, any umbrella for gender coined recently is a "neogender umbrella" -- that's why i don't think it should end with "-gender", since imo the most important distinction between neogender umbrellas and xenogenders is the fact that neogender umbrellas (while called this, for lack of a better term) encompass much more than just gender. i think "neoumbrella" is a great shortening for this, but perhaps the "neo" part could be short for "neoidentity" instead of "neogender".
and yeah, there are xenogender umbrellas and anthrogender umbrellas, but neoumbrellas are pretty much *always* umbrellas, so i dont think they should be a counterpart to xeno/anthrogenders. i feel like making a new name for the type of "gender" neoumbrellas are would just be recoining xenogender.
i know that neoumbrellas have been divorced from xeninity entirely, but im not entirely sure why this is (though i know it originated with kenochoric), because many do fall under the definition of xenine.
my theory is that its a situation of a label *technically* being under an umbrella term, but an individual identifying with that label might not resonate with that umbrella term, even though it technically fits. ive met people who dont identify as nonbinary or trans even though it technically/objectively fits, and thats okay! individual comfort should always come before hard set definitions.
like fuck yeah, im xenine, im a xenogender user, and i experience the neoumbrellas i identify with in a xenine way, but not everyone does.
tagging @radiomogai for discussion seems like something it'd be interested in
