Kingender

 is an umbrella term for a gender identity related to one's kintype. Otherkin refers to a non-human identification; for example, someone who identifies as a dragon on a spiritual, mental, or emotional level. Kingender may include a change in gender when one experiences a shift, the experience of being a certain gender because of one's identity, or identifying as a xenogender related to one's kintype. The suffix -kinic may be used for kingenders.

The identity is exclusive to those who identify as otherkin (or a term that falls under otherkin), because the gender of people who identify as kingender is intertwined with their kin identity.
