    Transneutral is a term used to describe a [[transgender]] individual who identifies fully or partially as a [[Gender neutral|neutral]], [[abinary]], etc. It can be considered [[umbrella term]] for individuals who transition to a neutral identity.
    Transneutral is a term used to describe a [[transgender]] individual who identifies fully or partially as a [[Gender neutral|neutral]], [[abinary]], or other <u>specific</u>* non-binary gender. It can be considered [[umbrella term]] for individuals who transition to a neutral identity. Transneutral individuals can identify as other, non-neutral genders as well - for example, someone who identifies as a [[neuwoman]] could simultaneously identify as transneutral, though usually the individuals' neutral identities are more significant than the individuals' non-neutral identities, or the individual usually wants their neutral identity considered more significant than their non-neutral.  
    Transneutral individuals can also identify as other, non-neutral genders as well. For example, an neuwoman individual may identify as transneutral, though typically one's neutral identities are more significant that one's non-neutral identities, or one wants to emphasize their neutral identity. Transneutral individuals are sometimes called MtN/FtN or M2N/F2N (male/female to neutral) depending on one's [[assigned gender at birth]].


    Transneutral is sometimes used, not as a gender identity, but as a way to describe anyone who undergoes a medical transition process that is not fully [[transmasculine]] or fully [[transfeminine]]- either through surgery, hormone replacement therapy, or other methods. Under this definition, individuals who undergo transition to attempt to appear more neutral would be considered transneutral, regardless of their actual gender identity.
    Transneutral individuals are sometimes called MtN/FtN or M2N/F2N (male/female to neutral) depending on the individuals [[assigned gender at birth]] ([[Sexes|AGaB]] - which can include [[Sexes|AFAB]], otherwise known as assigned female at birth, or [[Sexes|AMAB]], otherwise known as assigned male at birth)


    Transneutral is not synonymous with being [[non-binary]], as not all [[non-binary]] genders are neutral-aligned or [[Ningender|neutral in nature]], and not all [[non-binary]] individuals identify as [[transgender]].

    Transneutral is a term used to describe a transgender individual who identifies fully or partially as a neutral, abinary, or other specific* non-binary gender. It can be considered umbrella term for individuals who transition to a neutral identity. Transneutral individuals can identify as other, non-neutral genders as well - for example, someone who identifies as a neuwoman could simultaneously identify as transneutral, though usually the individuals' neutral identities are more significant than the individuals' non-neutral identities, or the individual usually wants their neutral identity considered more significant than their non-neutral.

    Transneutral individuals are sometimes called MtN/FtN or M2N/F2N (male/female to neutral) depending on the individuals assigned gender at birth (AGaB - which can include AFAB, otherwise known as assigned female at birth, or AMAB, otherwise known as assigned male at birth)

    Umbrella Terms[edit | edit source]

    Within the LGBTQIA+ community, "umbrella terms" are a system of terms that correlate with, or centre more on specific terms, for gender or sexual identity / orientation. Using as an example:

    BTX / BTNB
    Transneutral.png
    Meaning
    This is the Binary to Non-Binary Flag (BTNB), which is often confused with the transneutral flag. While they're similar in that they both centre with Non-Binary identities, they're not the same.

    Non-Binary:

    NB: Common Terms NB/ NBCT: More Specified Terms
    Genderqueer, Genderfluid, Genderneutral -- > Genderless, Genderflux,
    Demigender, Demiboy, Demigirl --> Demiboyflux, Demigirlflux, Demigenderflux, Demiflux
    Polygender --> Bigender, Trigender, Quadgender
    Queer -- > Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Asexual
    Transgender -- > Transmasculine, Transfeminine, Transneutral

    Transneutral is not synonymous with being non-binary, since several non-binary genders are neutral-aligned or neutral in nature, and not all non-binary individuals identify as transgender. However, it is often still shown under the umbrella term of Non-Binary, due to the spectrum of genders that an umbrella term can show simultaneously often being overlooked or generalised.

    Transitioning[edit | edit source]

    Transneutral is sometimes used, not specifically as a gender identity, instead as a way to describe anyone who undergoes a medical transition process that is not fully transmasculine or fully transfeminine - either through surgery, hormone replacement therapy, or other similar ways of internally or externally transitioning. Under this definition, individuals who undergo transition(s) - whether internally or externally, socially or legally - to seem more neutral would be considered transneutral, regardless of their actual gender identity. The feminine equivalent to transneutral is transfeminine. The masculine equivalent is transmasculine.

    History[edit | edit source]

    In the 2022 Gender Census, a 0.3% of participants in the survey identified as transneutral.[1]
