Agender people may also identify as non-binary, [[genderqueer]], or [[transgender]], though some choose to avoid these terms, as they can imply that they identify as a gender, when they in fact do not. As it is a lack of gender, some feel that it should not be labeled with the term "gender" at all. ▼

The first recorded use of the word agender on the Internet appears to come from a post on the site UseNet, on July 28, 2000. It was used in a discussion thread titled "alt.messianic". The user Miriam Wolfe wrote "All I understand is that G-d is amorphous, agender, etc. so "image" can't be a physical or gender or sexual thing."<ref>{{Archive|Site=web|URL=20220121154524/https://groups.google.com/
The first instance where the word was used about
In both these cases the word agender was not defined; presumably, the definition was already known at the time. The word ''agender'' probably existed before these posts, and possibly had a similar meaning to what it does now. However, earlier uses of the word are not recorded.

The "citrus agender" flag variants by Mars in 2021. Turquoise or dark green represents leaves and stands for working towards agender liberation. Green represents limes and stands for agender friendship, love, and community. Yellow represents lemons and stands for gender joy and celebration. Orange represents oranges and stands for gender artwork and creativity. Red represents blood oranges and stands for agender diversity and individual expression.
Several agender symbols exist. The most common is a circle (in reference to the [[Man|male]] and [[Woman|female]] symbols and many other gender symbols), with a line through it, either horizontally or diagonally (∅), likely representing gender being crossed out and absent. Another variant includes a line without prongs, similar to the [[neutrois]] symbol. Another, less common agender symbol is a plain circle (⚪), though this symbol is also sometimes used to represent [[Asexual|asexuality]].
