Furrean
Furrean, also known as furriean, is a semi-xenine neogender identity and umbrella term for identities in which one's gender is related to furries, furriness, being a furry, fursuits, furry characters, furry art, and/or other aspects of the furrydom.
Though it may be considered xenine, furrean is not inherently a xenogender, but may overlap with it and any other umbrella terms. It is also exclusive to furries.
