'''Agender''', also known more lightheartedly as gendern't, is complete [[Genderless|genderlessness]], or the lack of gender.<ref name=":0">https://agender.info<br /></ref> It is a [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] identity in which one is not [[Man|male]], [[Woman|female]], or any other gender. They may identify as most strongly as just a person, rather then as any given gender. ▼

▲'''Agender'''
Agender people may also identify as non-binary, [[genderqueer]], or [[transgender]], though some choose to avoid these terms, as they can imply that they identify as a gender, when they in fact do not. As it is a lack of gender, some feel that it should not be labeled with the term "gender" at all. ▼
== Other Definitions ==
While a complete lack of gender is the most common definition of agender, people may call themselves agender for other reason, such as:
Line 15 ⟶ 23:
* They do not care about gender, either an internal identity, as an external label, or both.

There is little solid agreement about the exact difference between terms such as agender
===Agender vs
▲There is little agreement about the difference between terms such as agender, gender neutral, and [[neutrois]]. Some people use these terms interchangeably, but for others, there is a difference between these terms. It is often said that agender is the experience of having no gender at all, whereas gender neutral or neutrois is the experience of having a gender identity, but that gender identity is not masculine or feminine, but neutral.
▲==Agender vs Gendervoid==
[[Gendervoid]], also called voidgender, is similar to agender, and the two terms are sometimes used interchangeably. However, while they do overlap, they are not always the same. Agender is generally recognized as a broader term. While an agender person may feel as though they never had a gender in the first place, a gendervoid person may feel like there is an empty place where a gender would or should be.
Line 30 ⟶ 36:
In both these cases the word agender was not defined; presumably, the definition was already known at the time. The word ''agender'' probably existed before these posts, and possibly had a similar meaning to what it does now. However, earlier uses of the word are not recorded.
==Flags and Symbols==
The original agender flag was designed by the Tumblr user Transrants aka Salem in 2014.<ref>https://pride-color-schemes.tumblr.com/post/147170289630/agender</ref> Black represents an absence of gender. Grey represents those who have a partial gender. Green represents the non-binary nature of this gender because green is the inverse of lavender (a mixture of pink and blue, representing a mix of female and male).

Variations on the agender flag usually include green and black.
An alternate agender flag was designed by Reddit user angerywaman on May 6, 2020<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/NonBinary/comments/geo2dx/i_redid_the_agender_flag_to_me_it_means_the_sun/</ref>, The colors are based on a sunset, representing the sun setting on gender. Purple represents androgynous presenting agender people. Pink represents feminine presenting agender people. Orange represents masculine presenting agender people. Yellow represents all agender people. The in between colors represent those who have a mix of presentations.
The "citrus agender" flag variants by Mars in 2021. Turquoise or dark green represents leaves and stands for working towards agender liberation. Green represents limes and stands for agender friendship, love, and community. Yellow represents emonss and atands for gender joy and celebration. Orange represents oranges stands for gender artwork and creativity. Red represents blood oranges and stands for agender diversity and individual expression.
Several agender symbols exist. The most common is a circle (in reference to the [[Man|male]] and [[Woman|female]] symbols and many other gender symbols), with a line through it, either horizontally or diagonally (∅), likely representing gender being crossed out and absent. Another variant includes a line without prongs, similar to the [[neutrois]] symbol. Another, less common agender symbol is a plain circle (⚪), though this symbol is also sometimes used to represent [[Asexual|asexuality]].
