Unlabeled gender flag

Unlabeled gender is a broad umbrella term that can be used as a gender identity label in and of itself. Someone who uses this term to describe themself may do so for various reasons, such as:

Being unsure of their specific gender label;
Being agender;
Being unaware of any label that matches their gender identity;
Their primary identification being as human^[1];
Disliking labels.

Moreover, someone who identifies as unlabeled may use additional labels to specify their experience. Examples of these supplementary labels can be Galactian system labels, transfeminine, transmasculine, among many others.
