Fictigender is an umbrella term for when one's gender is connected to or based on a work of fiction.

Definitions

• Definition: when your gender is connected to the fictional character(s) or species you identify as alt. definition: when you feel like genders in the real world don’t apply to you because you identify as a fictional character or species note: this gender is only for the use of fictionkin - Submission to MOGAI-archive, 2014
• A term for when one's gender is connected to a fictional character(s), a fictional species, or an object, setting, or concept from a work of fiction. It also includes genders that are based on or come from a work of fiction. It can be both used as an umbrella term for a subgroup of xenogenders, or as a standalone term. - Ezgender's Google Docs, 2021

In the 2014 definition, fictigender was specified to be only for fictionkin. Since the coining of the term, this has expanded, and a great number of fictigender identities may not be kingenders. Fictigender includes fictional character(s), fictional species, or an object, setting, or concepts. It also includes genders that come from a work of fiction.
