a gender that is experienced through or because of writing.
when writergender is its own gender, it may feel like the following:
-instead of being a man or a woman, you are a writer
-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
when writergender manifests alongside another gender (e.g. writermasculine, writerxenic, etc.), it may involve the following:
-your gender changes to match that of the characters you're writing about
-you write about gender and experience gender more strongly as a result
-you lean into masculine/feminine/etc. archetypes of writers
-you believe your style of writing is masculine/feminine/etc. and see this as part of your gender itself
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.
