What xenogender means

A xenogender is a gender described through something other than manhood or womanhood: an image, a texture, a colour or a concept. It does not mean identifying as an animal or an object. The word is often mocked online and has been misrepresented in false stories about trans students; the people who use it are describing their own experience of gender.
