A 2019 study investigated the types of microaggressions that agender and gender non-conforming people experience in romantic relationships, drawing upon responses from 200 self-identified gender non-conforming people and 190 agender people.<ref>Pulice-Farrow, L., McNary, S. B., & Galupo, M. P. (2019). ''“Bigender is just a Tumblr thing”: microaggressions in the romantic relationships of gender non-conforming and agender transgender individuals. Sexual and Relationship Therapy, 1–20.'' doi:10.1080/14681994.2018.1533245</ref> As the survey gave respondents only four options (transmasculine, transfeminine, gender non-conforming, agender) and participants often described themselves with different words when give a chance (including genderqueer, non-binary, and maverique), it may be more accurate to frame this as a study about microaggressions experienced by non-binary people, including some agender people.

A chapter of the 2022 ''Routledge Handbook of Digital Consumption'' examined how agender people develop and express agender identity on the Internet, arguing Internet spaces enable greater self-expression than offline spaces.<ref>Ketola, M., Selander, S., & Ruvio, A.
