Liongender
(Original: LGBTA Wiki)
Liongender is a Xenogender identity and a subgender of Catgender, that is defined by someone's gender being related or connected to lions, this might be through identifying with them or simply feeling that one's gender is better understood through them.
Liongender was originally created as a "sort of a happy encompassing of male, agender, genderqueer, genderfluid, and nonbinary"[1]. The gender involves a feeling of multiple identities and is "aesthetically associated with a masc-presenting sense of luxury, chivalry and majesty"[1].
This identity is miaspec and the fiaspec version is called lionessgender.
