It has been a while, but I’ve decided to coin a new word: outherinity (sounds like “oh-u-therity”).

There are overall four qualities used to explain or define gender identities and expressions and connections: feminine, masculine, androgynous and neutral. Those are four subjective concepts yet possible to imagine, as we can use fem and masc as parameters for imagination.

But there are genders like maverique or possibly apora involving entirely new qualities. Still, there was no word for those new qualities. Those are outherine. Outherinity is a concept just to describe new qualities (or essences), giving a general name for a fifth, sixth, seventh etc quality.

Outherine qualities are as subjective as the other four mentioned. Only people themselves can determine whether or not their identities (or even expressions) are outherine.

People can describe outherine qualities as:

- entirely new, apart from those other four, yet not exactly xenine;

- entirely new, but can be compared to the overall four qualities;

- unique combinations among the other four (ex: someone can explain themselves as being simultaneously masculine and neutral, yet they still see this quality as something different).

This concept may even be useful for people with culture-exclusive genders, if they think the overall four qualities do not apply ou make sense to their identities and/or experiences.

That’s it! I hope this concept can be useful somehow!
