PON, People of Neither, or ION/Individuals of Neither is a term for anyone who has neither a penis or vagina, regardless of gender. It includes individuals who were born neither with a penis or a vagina and individuals who have had sex reassignment surgery and have neither a penis or a vagina. The term includes some intersex individuals, transneutral who have has sex reassignment surgery (to a neutral sex), and some transsex/altersex men and women.

This term is made to combat the ideology that having a penis is what makes one a man, having a vagina is what makes one a woman, and is made promote gender-neutral language and terms. The term was also made for more simplicity in describing genitalia in medical situations, such as sex education, as saying "intersex" would leave out many altersex and trans individuals. PON can also stand for "person of neither" if one wishes to refer to another person or themself as a PON.

Related terms are POP and POV.

History

The term was coined by Cryptocrew on March 13, 2021 in order to help relieve dysphoria and discomfort in many genderqueer individuals.
