"the seven-member group's record label, Xgalx, put out a January 12 press release announcing that "XG" no longer stands for "Xtraordinary Girls," as the moniker has since the launch of the group's social media presence in early 2022. Instead, the initials now stand for "Xtraordinary Genes." According to Billboard, the statement explained that the change marks "a symbolic milestone for the group as all seven members have entered their 20s, signaling a new phase of artistic and personal growth.""
""I was born and perceived as female, but that label never represented who I truly am. I live in a way that feels more masculine and true to who I am," they wrote in the post's caption. "The hardest thing I've ever faced was accepting and embracing myself. But as I slowly began to do that, I was able to open a new door.""
Xgalx issued a January 12 press release announcing that "XG" no longer stands for "Xtraordinary Girls" and now stands for "Xtraordinary Genes." The label framed the change as a symbolic milestone marking all seven members entering their twenties and signaling a new phase of artistic and personal growth. The new name is described as representing innate creativity, individuality and forward-thinking energy embedded within each member and as a declaration of evolution as the group continues shaping culture. The announcement followed member Cocona publicly sharing that they are transmasculine nonbinary and had received top surgery earlier in 2025.
