Agender

Agender

Agender is a gender identity where a person identifies as having no gender at all. This may be described as feeling genderless or lacking gender. Agender individuals may also identify as gender neutral, meaning they do not identify as either male or female but still have a gender.

Some agender individuals may describe their gender as unknown or undefinable, not aligning with any binary or non-binary gender, or not caring about gender at all. Agender individuals may use any pronouns or present in any way, masculine, feminine, both or something completely beyond the binary. While some agender people also identify as genderqueer, non-binary, and/or transgender, others prefer to avoid these terms.

Pronouns

People who identify as agender typically use gender-neutral pronouns such as they/them/theirs or ze/hir/hirs. Some agender people may also use she/her/hers or he/him/his pronouns, but most often they prefer to use pronouns that do not imply a gender identity. It's important to respect and use the pronouns that a person has specified for themselves, as misgendering can be hurtful and invalidate a person's identity. If you're unsure of a person's pronouns, it's always best to ask them for their preferred pronouns.

Gender Types


Gender identity is a deeply personal and complex aspect of a person's identity, and it can vary widely from person to person. Some people identify as male, some as female, while others identify as non-binary, genderqueer, or another gender identity.

Gender identity refers to a person's internal sense of their own gender, which may or may not align with the sex they were assigned at birth. In other words, it is a person's subjective experience of their own gender.

Identity & expression


It's important to note that gender identity is not the same as biological sex, which is typically assigned at birth based on physical characteristics. Gender identity is also distinct from gender expression, which refers to how a person presents their gender to the world through clothing, hairstyle, behavior, and other factors.

Respect


It's important to respect and validate each individual's gender identity, regardless of how it may differ from societal expectations or traditional notions of gender. People should be able to express their gender identity in a way that feels authentic to them and should be able to access the rights and protections they need to live fulfilling lives.
