“Abs-” can be used as a prefix in the same way that “Cis-” or “Trans-” can be used as prefixes to discuss one's gender in relation to their assignment. |

Isogender, also known as Absgender, is a gender modality that refers to when one is not cisgender, but also does not identify as transgender either.[1] Examples of individuals who may identify as isogender include:
- A bigender, or otherwise multigender individual doesn't feel trans because a significant portion of their gender is the same as their assigned gender.
- A non-binary individual who does not feel trans because their gender is similar to their assigned gender as birth. For example, a feminine-aligned non-binary person who is AFAB.
- Someone who stop feel gender incongruence sometimes or someone who's gender incongruence fluctuate in intensity.
- A genderless individual who does not feel like trans describes them due to their lack of gender.
History
Isogender was coined by an anonymous ask to the Tumblr user Bigendering on June 9, 2017.[2] The term "iso" comes from the word isomer, as cis and trans are isomer types.
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. Coined by Gent (Gender-Resource) in 2020 after Arco-Pluris requested an alternative term for Isogender and Metagender.[3]
“Abs-” can be used as a prefix in the same way that “Cis-” or “Trans-” can be used as prefixes to discuss one's gender in relation to their assignment.
Flags
The Isogender flag was submitted on beyond-mogai-pride-flags at May 20, 2018.[4]
An alternate flag was created and submitted to ask-pride-color-schemes on October 22, 2019[5] with the color meanings as follows : Blue, purple, and pink represent masc, fem, and those who may be a mix of both. The greyscale gradient represents attachment or intensity of gender, from white (entirely agender) to dark grey (strong attachment).
Two tweaked Isogender flags were created by Tumblr user Noname-Nonamorous on August 24, 2021 from Beyond-MOGAI-Pride-Flags' design.[6] 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.
