What Is Xenonatured?

**What is Xenonatured?** You may have asked yourself this when first stumbling across these terms (whether it was here or another platform). Well this page shall discuss exactly what they are, their origins, and its flag. So lets begin...

A *xenonatured* term describes those has a strong connection to something to the point it becomes part of them. This connection can be from anything, for example: something you like, a hyperfixation, a special interest, something personal, and etc. When the connection to these things become extremely strong, it can slow develop into becoming a peice of you. This part of you is what is called a *xenonature*.

**"**For example: *dognatured*. *Dognatured* is when one has a strong connection to dogs to the point it becomes a part of oneself. What that means is that said person's connection to dogs evolved into more than a connection and has, literally, become inseparable from that person. No that person does not believe they are a dog, but their connection to them is just that strong.**"** -*EverythingXenonatured*.

A *xenonature* is something you become, not something you already were. So things such as orientations, neurological types, genders, race, ethnicity, and things alike can NOT be *xenonatures*. Some *xenonatures* can be exclusive to someone of those listed previously, however, they cannot directly be those.

*Xenonatured* is not the same as *alterhumanity*. There is overlap but they are two different concepts. However, someone who is *xenonatured* may chose to use *alterhuman* as a way to describe themself if they feel their *xenonature* effects them in such a way. You can also be *alterhuman* and *xenonatured* at the same time, they do not conflict with each other. You can read more about it *here*.

## The History Of Xenonatured

*Xenonatured* was coined on December 4th, 2021, by *AGeneric\_User* on *Reddit*. The flag was made the same day. It was created in response to *xenoids*, a *truscum* creation. *Xenonatured* was made to be a pro-*xenogender* alternative. *Lonely-dude* on *Reddit* also had a similar idea, however, the reclaimed version of *xenoidentities* are different enough from *xenonatures* that they can both co-exist. The following day, *AGeneric\_User* created an infocard on *xenonatures*.

From there many terms were coined afterwards. Of course *xenonatures* eventually expanded outside of *Reddit* and started popping up in places such as *tumblr*, *Pinterest*, and *Raddle*.

## The Flag & Its Design

The flag's design was inspired by nature themed colors, playing into its name. The green and yellow hues are suppose to be reminiscent of the outside. Originally the *xenonatured* flag had a white symbol on the main flag but was later changed to this mossy green so it could be more visible. *AGeneric\_User* created both versions of said flag.

One of the most noticeable qualities of these flags (alongside the main flag) is how the lines are diagonal and contain the *xenonatured* symbol. *AGeneric\_User* also made flag templates for the different *xenonatured* experiences, such as: *xenonatured fluid*, *xenonatured flux*, and *xenonatured collector*.
