Endokentriseksi

Endokentriseksi is a term that has appeared in discussions related to gender identity and sexuality, though its precise definition and usage can vary. It generally refers to a phenomenon where an individual's internal sense of self or their experience of gender is perceived as being oriented towards an "inner" or "endogenous" state, rather than being solely defined by external factors or societal constructs.

This concept is sometimes contrasted with understandings of gender identity that are heavily influenced by external presentation or social roles. Endokentriseksi suggests a focus on a deeply personal and intrinsic feeling of gender. It is not a widely established or formally recognized term within academic or clinical fields, and its meaning is often fluid and subject to individual interpretation.

The term can be associated with discussions about the complexities of gender experience and the idea that gender is not always a simple binary or a direct reflection of outward appearance. It highlights the subjective nature of gender identity and the possibility of internal states that may not be immediately apparent to others. Its usage is primarily found within online communities and personal explorations of identity.
