Fingender
Fingender or FIN is an umbrella term for all genders that are feminine in nature. It also refers to genders that are primarily feminine. It doesn’t automatically have to be related to womanhood but to femininity as a whole.
It can also be used as a gender on its own, referring to any gender that isn't fully defined as feminine but is still related to femininity, or a gender in which femininity is its defining feature where the gender is not a binary woman. It's often used by individuals who cannot narrow down their gender any more than being feminine.
