Agender
(adjective)
Agender people define their gender in a variety of ways. Some agender people define their gender as being neither a man nor a woman. Others understand themselves as not having any gender at all. Agender people may or may not transition physically, legally, or socially. Categorically, agender people are considered under the non-binary and transgender umbrellas, but they may or may not identify with those terms individually. Those decisions are based on their understanding of their relationship with gender and their access to transitioning within their culture.
e.g. Miros told hir parents that ze is agender, and would like to be referred to with ze/hir pronouns.
A flag with 7 horizontal stripes: two black stripes on the top and bottom, two grey stripes one step closer to the center, two white stripes on top and below a green stripe through the middle. The black and white represent agender experiences, the grey represents demi-agender experiences, and the green represents agender being a part of the wider non-binary community as those who identify outside of the binary gender spectrum.
