Plantgender

Plantgender is a xenogender in which someone feels a connection with plants or soil. While some plantgender people identify with certain plants, other plantgender people may feel a stronger connection to gardening, plant care, or the aesthetics of plants.

Examples of specific plantgenders include:


 * Monsteradelic, a connection with the plant Monstera deliciosa


 * Carnivorplantean, a connection with carnivorous plants


 * Venus-flytrapean, a connection with Venus Flytraps


 * Fernean, a connection with ferns


 * House-plantean, a connection with house plants


 * Chlorophyllic, a connection with chlorophyll, the color green, light, the sun, energy, and life


 * Petrichoric, a connection with petrichor, the smell of humid earth, rain, soil, plants, grass, spring, and summer.

History
The first person to define plantgender as it is used now was That.weirdass.kid on Urban Dictionary on March 18, 2019.

Before it was a recognized xenogender, in 2016, plantgender was shorthand for a transphobic meme demeaning the MOGAI community on Tumblr.
