Neutra (pronounced: noo-truh) is a gender term in which someone feels as if they are non-binary, androgynous, or genderless(-aligned) but in a feminine way. Another way this can be described is where someone feels as if they are mostly neutral, but still have or feel feminine aspects about themselves and choose to keep them. Individuals who identify as neutra may each feel this gender differently from how other neutra-identifying individuals feel this gender. Neutra can be defined in various ways, including, but not limited to:
- One who was AMAB (assigned male at birth), has transitioned to a neutral gender, but feels as if some particular aspects of themselves may be feminine.
- One who was AFAB (assigned female at birth), has transitioned to a neutral gender, but feels as if some particular aspects of themselves may be feminine.
- One who was AIAB (assigned intersex at birth) or varsex, feels as if they are mostly neutral, but also feels as if a feminine aspect of themselves is there.
- One is non-binary-aligned but connected to femininity in some manner.
- One feels neutral but is more comfortable being perceived femininely
- One is genderfluid(-aligned) but mostly feels feminine and neutral genders.

History
After Miraheze user Mike7outlaw coined masculina, feminino, and neutro he decided there should be a neutral/feminine term. That led him to coin this term after checking if Google Translate also added the feminine term of neuter in Spanish.

Etymology
As stated in the page masculina and other pages, neutra is the grammatically incorrect term of "neuter" in English. The letter "A" is usually feminine in Spanish, and the letter "O" is usually masculine in Spanish, but can also be considered neutral.
