    Non-gender identifying is not a gender identity, it is a way to describe a stance against identifying as or with gender identities completely. It is different from agender, genderless, neutrois, gender neutral, cassgender, gender apathy etc. as these can either still be used as gender identities or implying that one has a gender identity in some capacity.

    As a non-gender identifying person, one can still describe oneself as endosex, intersex, female/gynous, male/androus, cissex/cissexual, transsex/transsexual, ipsosex or ultersex to convey information about one's body's characteristics or psychological sex congruence/incongruence if it would be necessary or relevant.

    Someone who is non-gender identifying does not identify with any identities like; woman/girl, man/guy/boy, nonbinary, third gender, cisgender, transgender etc. or anything regarding sociocultural or sociopsychological gender identities. One might opt for certain gendered language for oneself when convenience, or one might try and use gender neutral language for onesself as much as possible unless disclosing some information is relevant to the situation.

    Being non-gender identifying does not say anything about one's physical presentation or expression, as having the stance of not having a gender identity makes what is labeled as "men's", "women's" or "non-binary/unisex/other" irrelevant. One can have, wear and like whatever one wants even if it is generally leaning more towards a certain traditional gender presentation or modality, and it still doesn't change one's stance as a non-gender identifying person.

    Non-gender identifying does not have a flag or a symbol as it is a rejection of identity.
