'''Gender neutral''' aka '''neutral gender''' is an identity under the [[nonbinary|nonbinary]] and [[transgender|transgender]] umbrellas. Gender neutral individuals have a neutral [[gender identity|gender identity]] or [[Gender expression|expression]], or identify with the preference for [[gender neutral language|gender neutral language]] and [[pronouns|pronouns]]. This is similar to and often overlaps with the experience of being [[Agender|agender, genderless, or having no gender identity]]. [[Neutrois|Neutrois]] identity is often described as being a neutral gender identity.</translate> | '''Gender neutral''' aka '''neutral gender''' is an identity under the [[nonbinary|nonbinary]] and [[transgender|transgender]] umbrellas.

==<translate>Etymology</translate>== | ==<translate><!--T:3--> Etymology</translate>== | ||
<translate>In English, the word "neutral" comes from Middle French ''neutral'' (compare modern French ''neutre''), from Latin ''neutralis''. In war and disputes, neutral can mean taking no side in a conflict, being nonaligned or unbiased. In color, neutral means gray, or having no obvious color. In physics, neutral can mean having neither a positive nor negative charge. In biology, neutral can mean [[neuter|neuter]], having no physical sex. In grammar, it can mean words that are neither masculine nor feminine, also called neuter or [[epicene|epicene]]. Gender neutral can mean applicable or available to all genders, or not restricted by gender.</translate> | <translate><!--T:4--> In English, the word "neutral" comes from Middle French ''neutral'' (compare modern French ''neutre''), from Latin ''neutralis''.
