Outherine, also spelled as outhrine, is an umbrella term for the qualities associated with atrinary anthrogenders—that is, genders unrelated to femininity, masculinity, androgyny, nullity, or neutrality, "yet not exactly xenine"[1].
The term's coiner states that there are generally four qualities used to explain or define gender identities, expressions, and connections: feminine, masculine, androgynous, and neutral. These four concepts are subjective yet possible to imagine. However, there are genders that are unrelated to these qualities, such as maverique, ilyagender, and aporagender, which have entirely new qualities. These new qualities are known as outherinity.
Outherinity is a concept to describe these new qualities, or essences, in general. Since these genders are vast and individuals can experience them all differently, outherinity it is not a single quality or concept. It describes not just a fifth quality, but also a sixth, seventh, eighth, etc quality- anything that is unrelated to masculinity, femininity, neutrality, or androgyny can be described as outherine. Outherine qualities are as subjective as the main four qualities, and only the individual in question can determine whether or not their identities (or expressions) are outherine.
This concept can also be used for culture-exclusive genders, if one thinks the other four qualities do not apply or make sense to their identities and/or experiences.
The adjectival form is outherine (the equivalent of feminine or masculine). The noun form is outherinity (the equivalent of femininity or masculinity), though some individuals may also use outherity.
