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> Confusingly, the survey defines "agender and gender non-conforming" in a way that includes all people who do not identify with a binary gender, and respondents to the original survey chose between four options (transfeminine, transmasculine, gender non-conforming, and agender). (The transfeminine and transmasculine responses were not analyzed.) This means that some people who selected "agender" may not describe themselves that way in other contexts.

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.
