'''Quoigender''' (from French ''quoi'', ''quoi'' "what" + "gender") is a [[nonbinary]] gender identity with several definitions:

* someone who feels that gender identity and/or existing gender terms don't apply to them
* someone whose relationship with gender is complicated; someone who isn't sure whether they experience gender or what gender identity means for them
*can be used as an alternative to "[[questioning]]", in order to communicate exhaustion or frustration with searching for a better gender identity term for oneself
*someone who is done with gender and doesn't care much for it as a concept; frustration with gender

==History==
