==Agender as gender identity or lack of gender identity== <!--T:11-->

Some agender people feel that they have no gender identity, while others feel that agender is itself a gender identity. This can be similar to or overlap with the experience of being [[gender neutral]] or having a neutral gender identity.

There is little agreement about the difference between terms such as agender, genderless, non-gender, gender neutral, and [[neutrois]]. These terms are often used interchangeably, or defined differently by individual writers in ways that don't necessarily match the self-definitions of others using those terms.{{citation needed}}

<!--T:16-->

It is often said that non-gender or genderlessness is the experience of having ''no'' gender identity at all, whereas gender neutral or neutrois is the experience of ''having'' a gender identity, a gender identity which is not male or female, but neutral.{{citation needed}} However, these statements don't match the experiences of everyone who has taken up these identities as their own. This is a result of a disagreement between word definitions that are ''prescriptivist'' (telling everyone how they ''should'' use a word, and saying that many people use it wrong) and ''descriptivist'' (describing how people have actually been ''using'' a word, without telling them to change).

===Non-gendered as an umbrella term=== <!--T:17-->

<!--T:18-->

Some activists, such as [[Christie Elan-Cane]], use '''non-gendered''' to mean all gender outside of the [[gender binary]].{{citation needed}} This use comes from several years before the term '''nonbinary''', but is seen as problematic because it gives the idea that nonbinary gender identities don't exist, or that all nonbinary people are genderless.{{citation needed}} Nonetheless this usage is in some official organisations' documents and resources as the term to cover all nonbinary people. This is most common in the United Kingdom, for example throughout the 2011 [https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/transgender-action-plan UK Government Transgender Action Plan].

==List of kinds of agender identities== <!--T:19-->

<!--T:20-->

It can be difficult to describe and name a gender identity that involves a lack of inner gender identity. In order to do so, some people see the need to make new names for that gender identity, or to distinguish between different but similar genderless identities. A list of these names, in alphabetical order:

'''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."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://purrloinsucks.tumblr.com/post/95723127519/genders-coined-by-queerspike|title=genders coined by queerspike|date=25 August 2014}}</ref>

'''agenderfluid.''' Coined by pleurocarpus. Basically agender, but also [[genderfluid]]. Synonym cancegender.{{citation needed}}

'''[[list of uncommon nonbinary identities#agenderflux|agenderflux]].''' Coined by perfectlybrokenbones. "Where you identify as agender but have fluctuations where you feel feminine or masculine but not male or female. ".{{citation needed}}

'''[[agenderfluix]].''' A cross between agenderfluid and agenderflux; "a gender identity that is predominantly agender, but is fluid in nature and fluctuates in intensity over time." May also be called gxnderfluix, agxnderfluix, afluidflux, or flxidflux.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://gender.wikia.org/wiki/Agenderfluix| work=Gender Wiki |title=Agenderfluix|access-date=25 January 2021}}</ref>

'''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."{{citation needed}} Synonym agenderfluid.

'''genderblank.''' As described by Damloz: Having no gender.{{citation needed}} Also, as described by anonymous: "a gender so indescribable that the only thought one gets when trying to describe it is a blank space"{{citation needed}}

'''[[list of uncommon nonbinary identities#gender-free|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"<ref>{{cite web|url=https://polyamaesthetic.tumblr.com/post/183876471860/genderfree-flowers-genderfree-someone-whose|title=genderfree + flowers|website=Tumblr|date=1 April 2019}}</ref> Caution: sometimes used by [[Cissexism#Transgender-exclusionary_feminists|trangender-exclusionary feminists]] to identify themself as someone who rejects the concept of [[gender identity]].<ref name="medi_CanY">{{Cite web |title=Can You Actually Be #Genderfree? |last=Williams |first=Rachel Anne |work=Medium |date=25 April 2019 |access-date=4 April 2020 |url= https://medium.com/@transphilosophr/can-you-actually-be-genderfree-b38fe95a0cd7}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://terflies.tumblr.com/post/184414453101/heads-upgenderfree-is-the-new-gender-critical|title=Queerios on Tumblr|website=Tumblr}}</ref>

'''gendernull.''' As described by Baaphomett, "A gender like gendervoid but without the void."{{citation needed}}

'''gendervoid.''' As described by Baaphomett, "A gender consisting of the void (also/originally used to mean the same thing as genderless)."<ref name="Masterpost">{{cite web|title=masterpost of genders coined by baaphomett|archive-url=https://purrloinsucks.tumblr.com/post/95720973644/masterpost-of-genders-coined-by-baaphomett|author=mogai-archive|url= http://mogai-archive.tumblr.com/post/91736136744/masterpost-of-genders-coined-by-baaphomett|archive-date=25 August 2014}}</ref>

'''librafluid.''' Coined by otterlyradical and pride-flags-for-us. "Mostly agender, but has a strong connection that fluctuates between masculinity, femininity and/or androgyny."{{citation needed}} See also [[libragender]].

'''[[list of uncommon nonbinary identities#null gender|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."{{citation needed}}

'''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."{{citation needed}}

'''polyagender.''' Someone who experiences multiple types of agender-spectrum identities; for example they could be a combination of agender, null gender, and gendervoid.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.deviantart.com/silencethefox/art/Polyagender-Stamp-736330258|title=Polyagender stamp by SilenceTheFox|website=DeviantArt|date=20 March 2018|access-date=24 March 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://nonbinaryresource.tumblr.com/post/154766502356/confused-agender-anon-from-a-while-ago-i-have|title=nonbinary resource|website=Tumblr|access-date=24 March 2023}}</ref>
