Definitions

 * [gender] in nature is a term that encompasses all labels that share a certain characteristic - for example, fingender is an umbrella term for any label that relates to femininity. these terms can also be used as standalone gender labels for people who know they experience a certain characteristic in their gender, but don’t want to/aren’t able to pinpoint it past that - for example, a ningender person could know that their identity is nonbinary or neutral in some way, but not know the exact specifics or not want to label them. - Tumblr user Neopronouns

Coining
"ok but hear me out. QIN. Queer In Nature. In relation to gender, like FIN or NIN or XIN, etc.

Honestly? (Gender)queerness feels like enough of a distinct trait to consider its own despite there being few terms that directly mention queerhood other than genderqueer itself. For me (I’d describe myself as a qinboy) it’s similar to AIN or XIN but QIN feels more accurate than either despite both others having some resemblance to my gender and being accurate. In regards to gender, I don’t feel like I’m on the masc, fem, or androgynous spectrum anywhere (despite being a femboy), and I’d say that my gender is partially AIN/XIN, but fully QIN. Idk if that makes sense.

Also, just a note: those who would prefer not to have their gender described as queer would have a very easy term to express that without even having to spell out the word itself- noqin.

Maybe QUIN would work better but that’s also a pretty common name whereas QIN would be pronounced similar to “kin”. I suppose both options have minor issues. I’ll see what y’all think.

Are there more gender categories without designation that I’m missing? I plan on making a website as an accessible resource for gender studies/education, and having those categories will help me with formatting and figuring out how to present everything. It’s way easier to explain those categories first instead of listing every single gender ever, nobody outside of the gender academic community is gonna get that right away, let’s be real here."
