Name(s) and Definition(s)
Neurogender is an umbrella term defined as "A gender feeling that is strongly linked to one’s status as neurodivergent
note: obviously, only for use by neurodivergent people; can be used as an umbrella term for other neurodivergent-related genders"1
It was redefined as "when one's gender is in some way linked to one's neurodivergency, mental illness, or neurological conditions. It is an umbrella term for any gender related to being neurodivergent, but it can also be used as an identity on its own. Neurogender is not neurodivergency as a gender, but rather is a gender that if so heavily influenced by neurodivergency that one's gender and neurodivergency cannot be unlinked.
Not everyone who is neurodivergent has a neurogender, only does who feel their gender is influenced by their status as neurodivergent. Neurogenders are exclusive to those of a given neurotype, though oftentimes there are similar terms available to neurotypical people who have similar experiences and don't wish to appropriate."2
