Writergender: a gender that is experienced through or because of writing. it differs from writeric in that, where writeric is a gender in which writing is itself part of the gender, writergender is a gender experienced through writing. some examples of ways this may happen:
-the writer’s gender changes to match that of the characters they’re writing about:
-they write about gender and experience gender more strongly as a result
-they lean into masculine/feminine/etc. archetypes of writers
-they believe their style of writing is masculine/feminine/etc. and see this as part of their gender itself
-instead of being a man or a woman, they are a writer.
this can relate to any kind of writing (e.g. fiction, non-fiction, fanfiction, academic writing, etc.) and does not have anything to do with the frequency with which the person writes. one can substitute “gender” with whatever gender one feels. e.g. writermasculine, writerwoman, etc. this can be experienced as a xenogender but is not inherently one.

Writeric: a gender that is related to, best represented through, or feels like writing. it differs from writergender in that, while writergender is a gender experienced through writing, writeric is a gender in which writing is itself part of the gender. this could feel like:
-your gender feels like a story you are writing
-talking about your gender feels like talking about a writing project
-the way writing makes you feel is also the way this gender makes you feel
-a gender that feels creative, literary, verbal, expressive, imaginative, insightful, or any adjectives one would associate with writing.
if one feels that one’s writeric gender has a certain alignment, one can call themselves masc(uline)writeric, xeno(gender)writeric, etc. writeric can be experienced as a xenogender but is not inherently one.
