Mixtegender
Mixtegender is a gender identity in which one's gender is neither binary nor non-binary, and difficult to define. It is not feminine, masculine, or neutral, in the sense that all of those are combined to form a null gender. Mixtegender is separate from agender, gendervoid, and nullgender. To different mixtegender individuals, it may fall under different umbrellas, such as non-binary or aporagender. Mixtegender can be considered a neurogender if a mixtegender individual's gender experience is affected by their neurodivergency, disorder(s), and/or mental illness(es). It can also be used as an umbrella term or gender system, and mixte- can be used a prefix for subgenders.[1]

it is neither binary nor nonbinary, neither feminine, masculine, neutral or nonbinary but also all of those things together in a unified-null way, a completely different thing outside the binary apart from being nonbinary. it may fit under the nonbinary umbrella for some but it specifically doesnt because its detachment and simultaneous connection to both the binary and nonbinary. it feels like a fourth sort of experience of gender, neither neutral nor androgynous, not agender nor void or nullgender, not directly “girl/woman” or “boy/man”. those who use this gender may fluctuate in how they express their gender, this may be influenced by ones neurodivergence, disorders or any mental illness one may have, therefore making it a neurogender but does not have to be. this gender falls under many different labels with similar descriptions and experiences but at the same time still doesn’t quite fit them, making it very hard to understand and define ones gender.
