Neurogender

Neurogender

(adjective)

An umbrella term that describes those whose gender is intrinsically linked to their experience as a neurodivergent person. Neurogender people may or may not transition physically, legally, or socially. Categorically, neurogender people are considered under the non-binary and transgender umbrellas but may or may not identify with those terms individually. Those decisions are based on their understanding of their relationship with gender and their access to transitioning within their culture.

e.g. Callie identified as neurogender because their autism has a direct impact on how they experience their gender.
