{{Gender|image1=Kingender.png|system=|type=[[Xenogender]], Umbrella Term|exclusivity=Otherkin only|coined_by=sadvaporwavebabe|coining_date=July 2014}}
'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is an umbrella term for a [[gender|gender identity]] related to one's kintype. Otherkin refers to a non-human identification; for example, someone who identifies as a dragon on a spiritual, mental, or emotional level. Kingender may include a change in gender when one experiences a shift, the experience of being a certain gender because of one's identity, or identifying as a xenogender related to one's kintype. The suffix '''-kinic''' may be used for kingenders.
The identity is exclusive to those who identify as otherkin (or a term that falls under otherkin), because the gender of people who identify as kingender is intertwined with their kin identity.▼

===Controversy===
The original coining of kingender was submitted to [[MOGAI-Archive]] by sadvaporwavebabe, who was a notorious anti-otherkin troll who later apologized for transphobia and ableism in her posts.<ref>https://otherkinfaq-blog.tumblr.com/post/107528626623/psa#notes</ref>. Despite the term coming from a troll, kingender is used in a legitimate fashion as a genuine label to this day.
