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.

In 2015, Dictionary.com added an entry for "agender,"<ref>"New words added to Dictionary.com." May 6, 2015. ''Dictionary.com.'' [http://blog.dictionary.com/2015-new-words/ http://blog.dictionary.com/2015-new-words/]</ref> which it defined as "a person who does not have a specific gender identity or recognizable gender expression."<ref>"Agender." ''Dictionary.com.'' [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/agender?s=t http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/agender?s=t]</ref>

There is little agreement about the difference between terms such as agender, genderless, non-gender, gender neutral, and [[Neutrois|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.

'''cancegender.''' coined by prideful-concerto. "An individual is agender as their “base” gender but experiences fluid/fluxing gender feelings in tandem with their emotions.

'''[[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."<ref>[http://mogai-archive.tumblr.com/post/91779169274/null-gender http://mogai-archive.tumblr.com/post/91779169274/null-gender] {{dead link}}</ref>
