'''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
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]].
▲The most common reason for terms falling into the nequent category/criteria 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 has only recently begun to be more explored among variant communities, so there's no societal "standard" for things like tertiary attractions (sensual, queeplatonic, etc.), meaning using those terms isn't conformant because there's no existing standard for those terms to conform to, but they're also not LGBTQ+ because they also technically don't break any standard- there's no standard for them, so they neither live up to nor break a standard, making them neither conformant (living up to a societal standard) nor LGBTQ+ (not living up to the societal standard).
== 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.
