Let’s Talk About Xenogenders

Let’s talk about xenogenders

Definition: A nonbinary gender identity that cannot be contained by human understandings of gender; more concerned with crafting other methods of gender categorization and hierarchy such as those relating to animals, plants, or other creatures/things. It’s mainly an umbrella term for genders with themes such as nouns, archetypes, synesthetic experiences, neurodivergences.

Are xenogenders serious? Usually, yes. (But at the same time… What if they aren’t? To be fair, being trans/nonbinary doesn’t always have to be this imagined experience of constant suffering. We’re allowed to describe our lived experience of gender in flowery ways, too!)

Do xenogenders hurt real trans people? No, but if you’re asking this question, I want to ask one in return - What are you defining as a “real” trans person?Is someone only really trans/nonbinary if they can pass? Or have dysphoria? Or get surgery? Or are accepted by cis people? It’s important to understand that what one might think of when they think “real trans person” might be rooted in excluding a majority of the trans population.

But MOGAI genders/xenogenders/neolabels are why people don’t take us seriously! Trying to blame other people who’re trying to find terms to describe their gender/orientation/etc is a slippery slope, and trying to guilt people back into the closet to appease cishet people is never going to work. We do not exist to be palatable to them. This line of thinking is extremely dangerous, and it’s been applied to every other identity. As a community, we need to stand together against transphobia and it’s actual cause: Transphobes.

While xenogenders can be hard to understand at first, these terms are coined because someone out there was genuinely struggling to find a label that felt fitting, and found that their actual life experience couldn’t be described accurately by more common descriptors like “male,” “female,” “neutral,” and that describing their experience by relating it to something else truly helped them! Sometimes this will be things that seem “silly,” like media, aesthetics, and other unique things.

You may not understand how something can be a gender, and that’s okay! Sometimes we won’t be able to completely understand an experience because it’s one we will never have, and that doesn’t mean that the experience is invalid. It’s just how being a human works!

THIS

I posted abt this on twitter but Two + TPOT might actually turn out to be really interesting and it’s a shame to see people so upset about it! I think it is way too early to be worrying about anything imo.

I think TPOT is going to be temporary and BFB won’t be split permanently, and I don’t think the characters in both shows are gonna be barred from interacting with each other ever again just bc of the split. It would be really weird to have Four w/o X and X w/o Four.

My main theory is I think Two has an ability to divide things in two and their presence is whats causing this. So far we’ve only seen them showcase a couple (very strong!) powers, and if theyre anything like four that means they’ve got more we haven’t seen yet.

Two’s presence might have also cut Four’s strength in half. I wouldn’t be surprised if different algebraliens have different effects on each other depending on who they’re around. Unless Four overexerted themself in previous episodes, he’s definitely acting a lot different, and he’s weaker too. Maybe it’s because two is half of four and that’s just what happens if they’re near each other or maybe Two does have a split-in-two power. Where would the rest of four’s power go? Maybe Two absorbed it? Who knows!

IDK!! hopefully I haven’t missed anything like JNJ saying something that completely debunks this post. But I feel like BFB + TPOT have a ton of potential to play off of one another and deliver some rly cool stuff so I’m pretty excited to see what happens!

MANIPULATION OF TODAY.

„There is no doubt that all this LGBT ideology stems from neo-Marxism, and this one from Marxism, and this one from the same root as German Nazi National Socialism, which is responsible for all the evils of World War II, the destruction of Warsaw and the murder of insurgents” - said Przemysław Czarnek, deputy member of Prawo i Sprawiedliwość (ruling party in Poland).

„Nie ma wątpliwości, że cała ta ideologia LGBT wyrastająca z neomarksizmu, a ten z marksizmu, pochodzi z tego samego korzenia co niemiecki narodowy socjalizm hitlerowski, który jest odpowiedzialny za wszelkie zło II wojny światowej, zniszczenie Warszawy i zamordowanie powstańców” - powiedział Przemysław Czarnek, poseł Prawa i Sprawiedliwości.

People need to hear this. It’s opression. They are spreading lies and hate.

Ludzie muszą to usłyszeć. To ucisk. Szerzą kłamstwa i nienawiść.
