Filogender is a gender identity that only exists when one think actively thinks about it. When one does not think about or explore their gender identity they do not have one, or it feels quiet or forgotten until called to attention. One feels genderless until they think about their gender, at which point they experience a gender identity(s). One may or may not be able to "choose" which gender to experience.
Filogender can be considered an agender spectrum identity. The term is also related to genderflux, with filogender individuals fluctuating from genderless to gendered when they think about their gender.
Alternative labels include existigender, pensgender, cognogender/cogitogender/cognitogender, opinogender, and oblivigender.
The opposite of filogender is genderescape.
