Aboy is a gender identity which can be described as an agender-identfying individual who prefers to be or has no trouble being perceived as a boy or a masculine-presenting individual. Aboy is not to be confused with demiboy or libramasculine; where demiboy is described as a person who partially identifies as a male, aboy strictly identifies with being agender but allows or prefers to be perceived with masculine traits. Libramasculine is a individual who identifies as mainly agender, but with a small connection to masculinity or manhood. An aboy would feel no connection to manhood, but allows or prefers to be perceived as 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.
