Although ''{{term|jenda}}'' is used to mean "gender", due to its origin in English it is generally stigmatised as a foreign loanword, which is then used by some queerphobes to allege that non-binary gender identities are bad because they are also foreign and not natively Ganymedian. Thus, most people in the LGBT community use more "native" sounding words instead, like {{l|gnym|jero}} from {{mn|es|género}} or {{l|gnym|insía}} from {{mn|sw|jinsia}} (ultimately from {{mn|ar|جِنْسِيَّة}}). However, ''{{term|jenda}}'' is still used legally and academically in Ganymedian-language gender studies.
