Aboy, or amale, is a gender identity on the agender spectrum which describes an agender-identifying individual who prefers to be or has no trouble being perceived as a male or a masculine-presenting individual.
Aboy is not to be confused with demiboy or libramasculine. Demiboy describes an individual who partially identifies as a male, where aboy individuals strictly identify as agender but are okay with or prefer to be perceived as male or masculine. Libramasculine describes as individual who identifies as mainly agender, but with a small connection to masculinity or manhood. An aboy individual would feel no connection to manhood, but is okay with or prefers to be perceived as male or masculine.
The feminine equivalent is Agirl.

Flags
Two flags, a lighter and darker variant, were created by Discord user Monarch on the 11th of June 2021.
The black/dark grey (#111111 or #222222) represents the absence of gender while the blue (#6fa8dc) represents a preferred Masculine presentation.
The flag is two black stripes, one blue stripe, and two black stripes. This is to emphasise the agender aspect.
The alternative aboy was made by themogaidragon on Tumblr, on september, 9, 2021. [1] The aboy gender symbol as been designed by the same person the same day. [2]
Grey and black represents lack of gender. Green symbolises agenderlessness. Blue is for preferred to be perceived as a boy/man and perceived as masculine. The symbol is the aboy symbol.
