'''Nequent''' refers to [[gender]]s, [[Gender Presentation|presentations]], [[orientation]]s, [[sex]]es, relationship categories, and other related identities which are neither [[variant]] nor [[conformant]]. They are not the "standard" for their category, but also are not strictly variant either.
The most common reason for a terms being nequent is that they fit into a category that is either too new or not well known enough to have a "standard" for it. For example, the idea of [[Tertiary Attraction|tertiary attraction]] has only recently begun to be more explored, so there's no societal "standard" for things like tertiary attractions ([[Sensual Attraction|sensual]], [[Queerplatonic Attraction|queerplatonic]], etc.). There is no "standard" for the amount of tertiary attraction one feels, or the genders one feels it towards. Tertiary identities generally neither live up to nor break a standard, as there is no existing standard to conform to.
Other reasons an identity may fall into this category include, but are not limited to: being both conformant and variant simultaneously, such as [[ambiamorous]] or [[demicisgender]], or the term may be a non-LGBTQ+ identity but may still be in the general vicinity of those categories such as [[cis-genderless]], [[meliusgender]], [[kaitasexual]], [[alterhuman:Alterhuman|alterhumans]], and some [[Xenogender|xenogenders]].
== History ==
Nequent was coined by Reign of the breadsticcs on May 15, 2021 and was inspired by an idea from the now-controversial FANDOM user Ariathatsme (who was a syskeeper, transmed, exclusionist, and faked systemhood due to finding it interesting.) Reign of the breadsticcs designed the two flags the same day.
== Etymology ==
Nequent comes from the Latin word for neither, "neque", describing how identities in this category are neither variant nor conformant.
