Cuavgender
Cuavgender is a xenogender identity in which one's gender feels 'fake' or 'wrong,' leading to a disconnection from oneself due to another part of one's identity. This may be from trauma, kintype, neurodivergence, etc. This is not to be confused with gender impostor syndrome, as someone experiencing that still knows deep inside that they are actually that gender.
