Some people who call their gender [[neutrois]] define neutrois as having no inner sense of their gender (genderless), whereas other neutrois people use it to mean having a gender that is not female, not male, not between, but neutral. In the former sense, aporagender isn't a synonym for neutrois, because aporagender people have an inner sense of their gender.<ref>http://aporagender.tumblr.com/post/88820244904/aporagender {{dead link}}</ref> In the latter sense, aporagender | Some people who call their gender [[neutrois]] define neutrois as having no inner sense of their gender (genderless), whereas other neutrois people use it to mean having a gender that is not female, not male, not between, but neutral.
