Kingender

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.
