'''Amative gender''', or '''sentiogender''', is an umbrella term for any genders that are not necessarily a gender on their own, but rather a descriptor for ''how'' one experiences their gender. Amative genders do not describe how they are (or are not) related to [[Masculine|masculinity]], [[Feminine|femininity]], neutrality, etc, or any other [[xenic]] concepts or feeling that one’s feels when experiencing this gender. For example, [[condigender]] is a gender that is only felt under specific circumstances. Condigender does not specify ''what'' the gender is, only ''how'' the gender is experienced.
One of the most common amative genders is [[genderflux]], which describes a gender that fluctuates in intensity, but does not describe exactly what genders is fluctuating. Another example is [[bigender]], which describes someone who has two genders, but it does not say what those two genders are. Other examples include [[demigender]], [[frictogender]], [[absorgender]], and all [[aerogender]]s.
Amative genders are opposed to [[Affiliative Genders|affiliative genders]]. Amative genders are commonly used in conjunction with affiliative genders to describe the gender itself rather than just how it’s experienced. For example, someone someone might be a condigirl, meaning they're a girl under certain circumstances. These modified genders can be considered partial amative genders.
It can be thought of as the gender analog to [[Amative Orientations|amative orientations]].
