Technogenders

## Intro

### Coining

Technogender was coined Tumblr user enbyoid on before September 9, 2014 and was originally described as ""when you may or may not have gendered feelings, but either way you feel a stronger connection with technology as part of your gender experience than you do with any other existing genders[.] can be used as a standalone term (“I am technogender”), as a prefix (technoboy, technogirl, technoenby, etc), or as an additive on another gender experience even (“ai is a technogender demiboy”)…coined with techkin in mind but if it fits you and you’re not, you’re still welcome to use it.[...] i coined this with my fellow techkin in mind but if it fits you and you’re not, you’re still welcome to use it," The term has been recoined/redefined three times since then, all of those being detailed in the Technogender page.

Since its coining, Technogender has grown to be an entire category of MOGAI genders.
