Nesgender is a gender identity where one feels an overall disconnect from gender, but still uses gender labels that feel that they fit the best.
History
The term nesgender was coined by an anonymous user via the Tumblr account genderstalgia, November 12th, 2020.[1]
Flags
The nesgender flag was created by Tumblr user genderstalgia, November 12th, 2020. The grey gradient is to represent the overall disconnect from gender, with the two small “gender” lines in between to show that while one uses this gender label, they don’t actually connect with it. Genderstalgia also created flags for nesfem, nesmasc, nesgirl/neswoman and nesboy/nesman on the same date.
Etymology
Nes- was taken from the Russian word nesmotrya, meaning despite.
