    From Latin, “Abs-”, a prefix meaning “away (from)”, in this case referring to being conceptually ‘away’ from explicit cisgenderness/cisness and transgenderness/transness. + “-gender”, an English neologistic suffix indicating genderedness/genderness.

    Two tweaked Isogender flags were created by Tumblr user Noname-Nonamorous on August 24, 2021 from Beyond-MOGAI-Pride-Flags' design.<ref>[https://archive.is/fG5ml Noname-Nonamorous' Isogender flags, Archived]</ref> The flag took the original Isogender flag and adjusted the colors, made to look less bright and easier on the eyes. One of the flag features a disk symbol, coming from how Iso, the shortening of Isogender, is also a disk file type.
