this is a post regarding xenos
and neos , mostly an education entry.
if i missed something or misinformed,
please tell me !!
hii !! today i am gonna give a small explanation
regarding xenos and neos , and also a quick background
on them :3
this post is for simply uneducated people
and bigots that believe they are a mental illness . .
what are xenos and neos ?
xenogender is defined as ' a gender that cannot be contained
by human understandings of gender ' , focused more on creating other
methods of gender categorization such as those relating to animals , plants , other things .
basically, a xenogender is created when a person that feels like
they dont fit in any of the already existing gender identities starts to
identify as things they feel connected to !!
this does not include ethnicities , countries , etc .
you do not have to use prns related to the xenogender to identify with .
neoprns are a category of neologistic english third person
personal prns that go beyond he , she and they prns .
these type of prns are mostly used by enby people who feel that
conventional prns dont help reflect their gender identity .
what do they have in common? both of these
are used by the trans community to help them
express themself better .
now that this is out of the way,
its time to move to their background.
xenos and neos - historical background
since xenogenders are still a term that recently emerged, there is no
historical background of them.
but neoprns instead, have records of them being used in history.
" One of the first recorded uses of a neopronoun dates back to 1789 where one William H Marshall documented the use of “a” as a pronoun (used previously by John of Trevisa, a 14th century English writer). "
" One of the oldest noted examples of a neopronoun is “thon”. This is one of the first sets of gender-neutral pronouns created in the English language; American composer Charles Crosby Converse created the use of thon/tho self pronouns as a contraction of “that one” in 1858. "

getting this out of the way ,
its time to move onto popular misconceptions and questions .
xenos and neos - misconceptions / other things
" people with xenogenders identify as the object the xeno is based onto!1! "
if you still think so, then you missed the whole point of xenos
when you have one or multiple xenogenders, that does NOT mean you identify
as each object / the object the gender is based on itself , but rather
identify with a gender that is BASED on the object .
there is a big difference .
"but i dont understand xenos / neos so i shouldnt use them :(( "
never be afraid of asking the xeno or neo user on how to use their
set of prns , neither of their prns page since it helps A LOT
on giving u examples on how to use their prns :3
therefore, this is NOT and will never be an excuse of your transphobia
"i am not calling someone kitty/kittyself ://"
thats just you being transphobic and refusing to get educated .
there might be more that i missed , please inform me if so !!
found this helpful? im glad if so ^_^
ps. eng is not my first language so im sorry for misspellings :3
please inform me if i missed something, misinformed or misspelled .
this is all based on my own research !!
ill edit this later my head hurts rn snores
