Agender/sv
« Jag upptäckte icke-binära identiteter förra året när jag var 18. När jag läste definitionen av "agender" klickade det för mig. »
Jay, 19 (Agender)[1]

Agender is also called genderblank[2], genderfree, genderless, gendervoid[3], non-gendered, ungendered[4], or null gender[5]. Agender is an identity under the nonbinary and transgender umbrella terms. Agender individuals find that they have no gender identity, although some define this more as having a gender identity that is neutral.

Historia

Studien International Journal of Transgenderism från 1997 fann att "En person av vilket sex som helst kan också anse sig själva som en icke-könad person, som inte identifierar sig eller vill identifiera sig med något konventionellt kön.

Ett inlägg på Usenet bsekrev den Kristna Guden som agender. I 2005 skrev en annan Usenet användare att "kulturer kan ha trans, agender så väl som hyperkönade personer".

"Icke-könad", "Könslös" och "agender" var skrivna i en lista av icke-binära identiteter i 2013 texten: 'Sexuality and Gender for Mental Health Professionals: A Practical Guide'.[6]

Tumblranvändaren transrants (Även känd som Salem X eller "Ska") skapade år 2014 agenderflaggan.

Under 2014 var agender en av de 56 kön som gjordes tillgängliga på Facebook.[7]

In 2015, Dictionary.com added an entry for "agender,"[8] which it defined as "a person who does not have a specific gender identity or recognizable gender expression."[9]

On March 10 2017, a resident of Portland, Oregon, USA requested in court to be legally agender, and the request was approved.[10]

A 2018 survey of "Attitudes to Gender", ran by the Britain-based "Future of Legal Gender" project, asked people if they agree or disagree with the statement "More people will identify as agender (not having a gender) in the future." 32.4% selected "agree" and 13.7% selected "strongly agree". 20.6% selected "neither agree nor disagree" and 19.7% "don't know", compared to a mere 6.6% "disagree" and 7% "strongly disagree". (71% of nonbinary respondents agreed or strongly agreed.)[11]

Agender som könsidentitet eller avsaknad av könsidentitet

Vissa som är agender känner att de inte har en könsidentitet, medan andra känner att agender är i sig en könsidentitet. Detta kan likna eller delvis överlappa med erfarenheten av att vara gender neutral, eller att ha en neutral könsidentitet.

Då en del agenderpersoner inte har en könsidentitet är det viktigt att "inte bara" prata om ickebinäras eller transpersoners erfarenheter utifrån könsidentitet.

Skillnaden mellan könlös och neutrois

There is little agreement about the difference between terms such as agender, genderless, non-gender, gender neutral, and neutrois. These terms are often used interchangeably, or defined differently by individual writers in ways that don't necessarily match the self-definitions of others using those terms.

It is often said that non-gender or genderlessness is the experience of having no gender identity at all, whereas gender neutral or neutrois is the experience of having a gender identity, a gender identity which is not male or female, but neutral. However, these statements don't match the experiences of everyone who has taken up these identities as their own. This is a result of a disagreement between word definitions that are prescriptivist (telling everyone how they should use a word, and saying that many people use it wrong) and descriptivist (describing how people have actually been using a word, without telling them to change).

Non-gendered as an umbrella term

Some activists, such as Christie Elan-Cane, use non-gendered to mean all gender outside of the gender binary. This use comes from several years before the term nonbinary, but is seen as problematic because it gives the idea that nonbinary gender identities don't exist, or that all nonbinary people are genderless. Nonetheless this usage is in some official organisations' documents and resources as the term to cover all nonbinary people. This is most common in the United Kingdom, for example throughout the recent UK Government Transgender Action Plan.

List of kinds of agender identities

It can be difficult to describe and name a gender identity that involves a lack of inner gender identity. In order to do so, some people see the need to make new names for that gender identity, or to distinguish between different but similar genderless identities. A list of these names, in alphabetical order:

anongender. "A gender that is unknown to you and others".[12]

apogender. Coined by queerspike. "Greek prefix apo, meaning away from, separate, at the farthest point; a subset of agender in which you feel not only genderless but entirely removed from the concept of gender."[13]

agenderfluid. Coined by pleurocarpus. Basically agender, but also genderfluid. Synonym cancegender.[14]

agenderflux. Coined by perfectlybrokenbones. "Where you identify as agender but have fluctuations where you feel feminine or masculine but not male or female. ".[15]

cancegender. coined by prideful-concerto. "An individual is agender as their “base” gender but experiences fluid/fluxing gender feelings in tandem with their emotions. These gender feelings may confuse or upset the individual and cause their emotional state to go haywire, which causes more gender changes."[16] Synonym agenderfluid.

genderblank. As described by Damloz: Having no gender.[17] Also, as described by anonymous: "a gender so indescribable that the only thought one gets when trying to describe it is a blank space"[18]

genderfree. As described by polyamaesthetic, "someone whose gender is not present; someone who feels their gender is insignificant or irrelevant; someone whose gender is kind of ambiguous, but definitely queer; someone whose gender feels blurry, cloudy, whimsical, and free"[19] Caution: sometimes used by trangender-exclusionary feminists to identify themself as someone who rejects the concept of gender identity.[20][21]

gendernull. As described by Baaphomett, "A gender like gendervoid but without the void."[22]

gendervoid. As described by Baaphomett, "A gender consisting of the void (also/originally used to mean the same thing as genderless)."[23]

librafluid. Coined by otterlyradical and pride-flags-for-us. "Mostly agender, but has a strong connection that fluctuates between masculinity and femininity."[24]

null gender. Coined by dieselwolfe. "Undefinable, intangible, the uncreation of gender. Its taking everything everyone throws at you, saying male, female, pick one, pick this, pick that, and taking it in, only to expel it, poisonous crystals erupting from your skin, armor against those who don’t listen. A 'I don’t want a label because labels don’t fit but they help shut people up sometimes, so here have a label' gender label. A fall-back plan, a red herring to give people who can’t conceptualize the absence, void, nullification of gender. It is, and is not. All and none. Nonexistant but present."[25]

oneirogender. Coined by anonymous. "Being agender, but having recurring fantasies or dreams of being a certain gender without the actual dysphoria or desire to actually be that gender day-to-day. e.g. oneiroboy, oneirogirl, oneirononbinary, etc."[26]

  • “Ashiok” from the popular card game Magic: The Gathering is explicitly referred to as being nongendered. Though some depictions of the character include “he” as a pronoun, a lead designer from the company that makes the game has insisted on numerous occasions that the character is explicitly nongendered.[48] Even going so far as to write stories which avoid referring to Ashiok using gendered pronouns at all.[49] Ashiok's card can be found here.
