« Ich habe nicht-binäre Identitäten letztes Jahr, als ich 18 war, entdeckt. In dem Moment, als ich die Definition von "Agender" las, machte es einfach klick. »
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.

Geschichte

Eine 1997 im International Journal of Transgenderism erschienene Abhandlung stellte fest, dass "ein Individuum jeglichen genetischen Geschlechts (sex) sich auch als [...] eine ungeschlechtliche Person betrachten kann, die sich nicht mit einem konventionellen Geschlecht identifiziert oder identifizieren will."[4]

A 2000 post on Usenet described the Christian God as agender. In 2005, another Usenet user wrote that "cultures can have transgender, agender, and hypergender individuals."[6]

"Non-gendered", "genderless" und "agender" wurden in einer Liste gültiger nicht-binärer Identitäten im Text Sexuality and Gender for Mental Health Professionals: A Practical Guide von 2013 erwähnt.[7]

Tumblr-User*in transrants (auch bekannt als Salem X oder "Ska") schuf die Agender-Flagge im Jahr 2014.

Im Jahr 2014 war Agender eines der 56 Geschlechter, die auf Facebook verfügbar gemacht wurden.

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 als Geschlechtsidentität oder fehlende Geschlechtsidentität

Manche agender Personen haben das Gefühl, keine Geschlechtsidentität zu haben, während andere Agender als Geschlechtsidentität betrachten. Dies kann der Erfahrung, geschlechtsneutral(gender neutral) zu sein oder eine neutrale Geschlechtsidentität zu haben, ähnlich sein oder sich mit ihr überschneiden.

Da einige Menschen Agender eben nicht als Geschlechtsidentität sehen, sondern den Begriff dafür verwenden, dass sie keine Geschlechtsidentität haben, ist es wichtig, nicht über die Erfahrungen von nicht-binären oder transgender Menschen nur im Sinne der Geschlechtsidentität zu sprechen.

Unterschied zwischen genderless (geschlechtslos) und Neutrois

Es besteht wenig Einigkeit über den Unterschied zwischen Begriffen wie Agender, Genderless, Non-Gender, Genderneutral und neutrois. Diese Begriffe werden oft austauschbar verwendet oder von einzelnen Autor*innen unterschiedlich definiert, so dass sie nicht unbedingt mit den Selbstdefinitionen anderer übereinstimmen, die diese Begriffe verwenden.

Es wird oft gesagt, dass Non-Gender (Nicht-Geschlecht) oder Geschlechtslosigkeit die Erfahrung ist, überhaupt keine Geschlechtsidentität zu haben, während geschlechtsneutral oder neutrois die Erfahrung ist, eine Geschlechtsidentität zu haben, eine Geschlechtsidentität, die nicht männlich oder weiblich, sondern neutral ist. Diese Aussagen stimmen jedoch nicht mit den Erfahrungen aller überein, die diese Identitäten als ihre eigenen angenommen haben. Der Grund dafür sind unterschiedliche Ansichten darüber, wie Wortdefinitionen zu handhaben sind. Es gibt Personen und Gruppen, die Wortdefinitionen präskriptiv verstehen wollen (das heißt als Vorschriften darüber wie das Wort richtig verwendet werden soll, und welche Verwendung falsch ist). Die andere Möglichkeit wäre deskriptiv vorzugehen (das heißt zu beschreiben, wie Menschen ein Wort tatsächlich verwenden, ohne ihnen zu sagen, dass sie das ändern sollen).

Nicht-geschlechtlich (non-gendered) als Oberbegriff

Einige Aktivist*innen, wie z. B. Christie Elan-Cane, verwenden nicht-geschlechtlich (non-gendered), um alles außerhalb der Zweigeschlechtlichkeit zu bezeichnen. Diese Verwendung stammt aus der Zeit einige Jahre vor dem Begriff nicht-binär (nonbinary), wird aber als problematisch angesehen, weil sie den Eindruck erweckt, dass nicht-binäre Geschlechtsidentitäten nicht existieren, oder dass alle nicht-binären Menschen geschlechtslos sind. Nichtsdestotrotz wird dieser Begriff in einigen offiziellen Dokumenten und Ressourcen von Organisationen als Bezeichnung für alle nicht-binären Menschen verwendet. Dies ist am häufigsten im Vereinigten Königreich der Fall, zum Beispiel im jüngsten UK Government Transgender Action Plan.

Liste der Arten von agender Identitäten

Es kann schwierig sein, eine Geschlechtsidentität zu beschreiben und zu benennen, die eben genau das Fehlen dieser inneren Geschlechtsidentität mit beinhaltet. Um dies zu tun, sehen manche Menschen die Notwendigkeit, neue Namen für diese Geschlechtsidentität zu schaffen oder zwischen verschiedenen, aber ähnlichen geschlechtslosen Identitäten zu unterscheiden. Eine Liste dieser Namen, in alphabetischer Reihenfolge:

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]
