Kenochoric is an umbrella term centered around the idea of kenopsia. It is a relatively broad label, and many different types of genders, such as xenogenders, aesthetigenders, neurogenders, and others, may fit under it. Generally, however, kenochoric is its own, seperate thing, not just a subset of xenogender.
While kenochoric is an umbrella term, it can be used as a gender on it’s own. It can be used alongside other terms, and it could have an alignment of it’s own, with genders like kenomasc, kenofem, and kenofluid.
Kenochoric can be an alignment as well. It may be called kenic (similar to xenic), or voidrian if you want to use a galactian alignment specifically. There is also KEIN, which means kenochoric in nature.
Kenochoric may also be used as a modifier, if someone’s gender identity feels as though it is kenochoric. For instance, someone may be a demiboy, but they also have various traits of kenochoric identity, despite demiboy not being under the umbrella. They could then call themselves a kenochoric demiboy, or a kenic demiboy.
