Outherine, also spelled outhrine, is an umbrella term for gender qualities separate from masculinity, femininity, neutrality, and androgyny, but are also not exactly xenine.
The coiner of outherine, Tumblr user oltiel, states that there are generally four qualities used to describe gender, in terms of expression, identity, and connection. These qualities are masculine, feminine, neutral, and androgynous. However, there are qualities that fall outside of these umbrellas, such as maverique and maybe aporagender. Outherine describes these fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, etc. gender qualities.
Outherinity can also include:
- genders that are completely separate from masculinity, femininity, neutrality, and androgyny while not exactly being xenine;
- genders that separate from, but comparable to masculinity, femininity, neutrality, and androgyny;
- genders that combine masculinity, femininity, neutrality, or androgyny in a unique way that may feel different from these four qualities;
- culture-exclusive genders that masculinity, femininity, neutrality, and androgyny do not apply or make sense to.
Outherinity is just as subjective as masculinity, femininity, neutrality, and androgyny. The individual themself is the only one who can determine whether they are outherine, in expression or identity, or not.
The adjective form is outherine. The noun form is outherinity or otherity.
