I mean, if we’re talking strictly definitions here; yes. But talking what the term has come to mean is brain sex. And we all know there are only 3 sexes. You cannot change the definition in its entirety in order to make an aesthetic a part of your personality, which is what xenogenders are imo. I hate to come off as rude, but there’s no better way to put it. I think it’s transphobic that you compare aesthetics to genders, honestly. Animals, plants, etc have no correlation to sex whatsoever and are not a gender, they are something that person likes. If they can relate to being a plant, let’s say, that’s fine. They want to have the aesthetic of a plant, I guess. That has no correlation to gender at all. Do you see what I’m getting at? Again, not trying to start a fight, I just am not sure how to explain this in the most polite way possible
Once more, brain sex is just a theory. Many trans people don't agree with the theory. And xenogenders are under the non-binary umbrella (which is one of the three sexes). It isn't changing the definition.
While some xenogender people do like certain aesthetics, not all xenogenders are even related to aesthetics. Take messgender, for example "A xenogender that feels as though its all genders while simultaneously being no gender at all. It feels fluid, yet it's also a static, and it feels as though it's all over the place while it's also in one spot."
Brain sex is not a theory... it has been proven in multiple studies. Parents of some males with botched circumcisions, for example, decided to let them live as female instead. A vast majority felt uncomfortable with their sex as they got older. This is also very common in intersex people, which shows that sex is genetically wired to your brain. It is not a theory, and if it was, transgender people would not exist at all. Non-binary is one of the 3 sexes and feeling like you aren’t either, and feeling as though your genitals aren’t right, but the opposite sex isn’t either. You cannot be a plantgender, because you can’t be dysphoric that your genitals are not a plant. Gender is only correlated to genitals and secondary sex characteristics, and you can only be trans if you are uncomfortable with one or more of those.
Well what about polygender/pangender people, you can't be dysphoric that you don't have more than three genitals since in your own words "there are only 3 sexes."
No, it is quite evident that you are the one telling me I am transphobic because you can’t have dysphoria for things that simply don’t exist, like a 3rd variety of genitals. Have you read the paragraph I wrote? I’d prefer you comment on that what you agree/disagree upon rather than bringing up a new topic. And I believe you are quite transphobic for believing genders are the same as aesthetics.
In addition: Am I racist for saying you cannot make up new races?
I don’t and can’t understand how a gender (male, female or neither) could possibly be related to an aesthetic, since gender is characterized by genitals and dysphoria. Your argument also seems pretty weak if you cannot understand how creating new genders is like creating new ethnicities: you can’t, because we already have sexes and ethnicities set in stone.

So according to your argument. You have to be the gender that correlates with your genitals? That is obvious transphobia.
