This page is about a gender identity that is not widely used among gender-variant people. This does not mean that the identity is not valid, but that very few people are known to use this term. More information on uncommon identities... |

Egogender or charagender are terms for a gender which is so personal to someone that they can only describe it as "me"-gender.[1] Thus, no two egogender individuals have the same gender, although they have the same gender label. One may also use (name)gender with their name inserted for a synonymous term. This can be considered a type of xenogender, since it is not related to the concepts of female or male.
It can also be specified further, as egoguy, egogirl, or egononbinary.[2]
Flags
There is no universally-accepted flag for the egogender identity, but several have been proposed. Below are some of them. For egoguy, egogirl, and egononbinary flags, see Category:Egogender pride flags.
