Plantgender

Plantgender is a xenogender in which someone feels a connection with plants or soil. While some plantgender individuals identify with certain plants, others may feel a stronger connection to gardening, plant care, or the aesthetics of plants.

Examples of specific plantgenders include:


 * Monsteradelic, a connection with the plant Monstera deliciosa
 * Carnivorplantean, a connection with carnivorous plants
 * Venus-flytrapean, a connection with Venus Flytraps
 * Fernean, a connection with ferns
 * House-plantean, a connection with house plants
 * Chlorophyllic, a connection with chlorophyll, the color green, light, the sun, energy, and life
 * Petrichoric, a connection with petrichor, the smell of humid earth, rain, soil, plants, grass, spring, and summer
 * Cactusgender, a connection with cacti, in which one's gender feels like it hurts or it stings

History

Before it was a recognized xenogender, in 2016, plantgender was shorthand for a transphobic meme demeaning the MOGAI community on Tumblr.
