What are xenonatures?

They are reclaimed xeno.identities, created by u/AGeneric_User on Reddit. Generally definded [defined] as “having a strong connection to [x] to the point where it becomes apart of you”

Can you make [x]?

Probably best to send this to kiinglover, but unless it’s already been coined or is something offensive or based on closed experiences we aren’t apart of, the answer is most likely yes.

Is this trolling?

No.

From a post by u/AGeneric_User on r/XenoNatured (from around 2021):

“Here is my idea for a non problamatic version of Xenoidentities:

Xenonatured: when someone has a strong connection to something (ex: something you like) to the point it becomes part of them.

Some general modifier terms for Xenonatures:

Fluid – When you xenonature is fluid between 2 or more xenonatures;

Collector – Someone that collects a especifc type of nature (if used as modifier) or someone that collects xenonatures (if used as a term);

Flux – When your xenonature fluctuates in intensity;

Some but not all umbrela terms for basic xenonatures themes:

Animalnatured – Based on an animal;

Objectnatured – Based on an object;

Characternatured – Based on a character;

How to coin a term:

The only requirements for now to coin a term are putting the xenonature symbol in the flag and the term can’t be offensive or insensitive (it depends on the case to see if its allowed or not) but the requirements can change over time. The term name also needs to end in “natured”.”

From a deleted user on the same post:

“hi! I am so sorry for getting to your comment so late. I try to stay on top of everything but its been hard with AGeneric_User no longer being active.

so otherhearted is an alterhuman expirence inwhich one has deep connection to something. typically this is involuntary. otherhearted includes: strong relating to something, seeing your hearttype as family, deeply understanding and relating to something, and/or wishing/aspiring to be your hearttype.

xenonatured is a pro-xenogender version of xenoids where one has such a strong connection to something to the point it becomes a part/peice of them. typically this is voluntary. xenonatured includes: something you really like, a hyperfixation or special interest, and/or something you relate to.

there are some similarities like: can be anything (within reason), can be something you relate to, and is a strong feeling.

but the important distinction I feel is that xenonatures are suppose to be pro-xenogender version of xenoidenties, something transmedicalists created. meanwhile otherhearted is not.

also otherhearted is an alterhuman identity and xenonatured is not (or at least based on its origin).

to note: some xenonatured individuals may be alterhumans, in which case they can be whats called alter-xenonatured (being both alterhuman and xenonatured, fused as one). this does not apply to most xenonatured individuals tho

does this make sense?”

From u/zaxfaea on r/XenogendersAndMore (from around 2021):

“Also, from what I can tell, xenoids were coined Oct 13, 2020 by vamp-med (link), who is a transmed. (Also a discourse account, so be warned) The tags on the post include “anti xenogender” “NOT mogai” “we will never be that eugh” and so on. And the coiner explicitly said it was meant to “reclaim” xenogenders and neopronouns.”

The post from vamp-med reads: “Xenoidentities are identities based off things you’re heavily connected to!! It can be anything. Vampires, cats, dogs, your hyperfixation, your SPin, yeah!!

They are not connected to gender in any way, shape or form, and are only about your self expression!!

Examples of xenoids are demonidentity, songidentity etc etc..

Stuff that comes w xenoids are nicknouns!!

(Cute as fuck name ik ik) they’re like little nicknames for your pronouns!! Nicknouns can also be anything like songself, vampself etc!! Nobody is ever obligated to use them, they are personal and for one’s self expression and comfort.

😼 theyre poggers credit 2 @neo-colorrose-does-discourse for the name nicknoun!! We didn’t want them to be pronouns per say, as they aren’t connected to gender and pronouns = gender. They are completely and utterly optional!”

The tags on this post are: “🍷talks discourse account. transmed. transmed safe. xenoid. anti xenogender. xeno identity. xenoidentity. nicknoun. nicknouns. NOT mogai. will never be that eugh. anti mogai. anti pansexual. 😼 we r cool. be cool with us pls omg”

The post was reblogged by someone (url reads as unusednow, deactivated):

unusednow: “Idk if this is a joke but i like the idea of separating mogai bullshit from gender stuff and instead making it like, a different thing that does not completely try to change the definition of gender in a scientifically inaccurate way good job i like this.”

vamp-med: “It isn’t a joke!! It is separation from mogai. We are basically reclaiming neopronouns and xenogenders and making them way cooler and NOT connected to the lgbt community 😼”

From another post by vamp-med:

Anon: “YOO… THE XENOID THING IS SO COOL!??!!!!?? I’m so glad you made a post explaining this thing because oh my god… this makes my autistic self so happy thank you!! i always wanted to ID as catgender but I’m anti mogai and a transmed so its like :/ but still! tysm!”

vamp-med: “OFC!!! that’s exactly what its for!! Xenogenders were literally made by a neurotypical so :// I’m glad you find xenoids helpful!! I’m literally catidentity so grab catidentity and vibe with it! Here’s the flag!!”
