Autonine

Autonine is a term to describe gender qualities that are specific to an individual. It is to be used to describe gender (such as egogender), gender presentation, and other gendered attributes, such as actions. It is to explain the experience of not relating to other terms like masculine, feminine, neutral, etc, but simply being oneself. It is not exclusive and can overlap with other terms. For example, if someone considered themselves somewhat masculine and somewhat something else that is specific to themselves.

Autonine shares similarities with terms like neutral, outherine, and xenine. Autonine differs from neutral, as even though both are separate from the masculine to feminine binary, neutral is an attribute that could be shared between multiple individuals, albeit differently. Autonine is more similar to outherine, as it is something separate from the gender trinary, but just like neutral, outherine could be a term shared by multiple individuals with similar experiences, albeit with minor differences. Autonine could be considered a subset of outherine. Autonine differs from xenine, as xenine can be described with or relating to external influences, and while autonine could overlap with this, autonine is purely internal.

One's name could be substituted in place of auto- to make it more accurate for the person. For example, if a person named Alex wanted to, they could call it Alexonine and Alexonominity.
