Candygender

Not to be confused with candyic.

Candygender is a xenogender wherein one's gender identity is connected to candy. This gender is generally associated with sugar and sweetness, but is can be considered bitter, rich, or any other way candy tastes.

This gender is exclusive to those who are neurodivergent. Although it is mainly intended for autistic individuals and those with delusions, anyone who is neurodivergent can use this gender.
