A KEIN/kenochoric and exohuman/alterhuman gender that is best described as having an aura of unconcernedness and a live-and-let-live attitude brought on by being more than human, such as an elf, dragon, god, or other mythological creature.
For day 6 of @little-gender-trinkets’ gender challenge! The prompt was “A term relating to the vibes you enjoy about another person”. I really enjoy the vibes of @kenochoric, and of course, who better to inspire a chill and otherworldly gender?
Etymology: “Solitude” aloneness, “vibe” chill/relax, “-ien” relating to, belonging to.
ID: A flag with three thick stripes and three thin stripes. The thick stripes are black-purple, very dark purple, and black-purple top to bottom. The thin stripes are warm purple, cool purple, and warm purple top to bottom. The thin stripes have gaps between them that shows the dark purple of the stripe beneath them. The flag has a light purple peace symbol in the center with 3 pink flowers around it. The 2nd and 4th flags are the same, minus the flowers and peace symbol. The 3rd flag is the same, minus the flowers.
If you don't like xenogenders or religiogenders, good for you, keep scrolling! This is for people who do like them, or would like another way to merge praxis and identity.
This is a list of every genuine, non-bigoted gender I could find based on Hellenismos and its deities.
First, we'll start with some simple definitions!
Hellenismos is the religion of Hellenic Polytheism, wherein one worships the Ancient Greek theoi (gods).
Cultural genders are genders restricted to members of a specific culture. For example, boi is a cultural gender exclusive to Black transmascs.
A religiogender is a gender based on or rooted in one's religion, like the Jewish gender tumtum. Not all religiogenders are xenogenders--for example, it may even be offensive to call tumtum a xenogender.
A xenogender is a gender falling outside of what is generally considered to be a gender.
This list will be split into three sections: Modern, Ancient-Inspired, and Ancient. Modern is a term that is fully modern without historical basis, though it may use historic language; Ancient-Inspired is a term directly named after a real Ancient group or individual, but that may bend the concept it's named for; Ancient is a term that has largely retained its ancient meaning (as far as we know.)
Some, but not all, of these terms are exclusive. If a term does not say it's exclusive to a certain group or related to worship, it may be used by non-Hellenic Pagans or anyone who identifies with it! Importantly, you do not need to be trans or nonbinary to use a xenogender! If a term isn't noted as trans/enby/AGAB-specific, you can identify with it.
The summaries are brief and do not fully capture the terms they're about--click the names if you want details!
