'''Agender''' is complete [[Genderless|genderlessness]]/the lack of gender.<ref name=":0" /> It is a [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] gender in which one is not [[Man|male]], [[Woman|female]], or any other gender. They may identify as most stronger as just a person, rather then as any given gender.
Line 9 ⟶ 13:
* Their gender is [[Uingender|unknown or undefinable]].
* Their gender does not align with any [[Binary Genders|binary]] or non-binary categories.
* There are no words to fit their gender
* They do not care about gender, either an internal identity, as an external label, or both.
Line 26 ⟶ 30:
In both these cases the word agender was not defined, presumably, the definition was already known at the time. It's safe to assume that the word agender 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 in 2014.<ref>https://pride-color-schemes.tumblr.com/post/147170289630/agender</ref> The color meanings are as follows: Black represents an absence of gender, and grey represents partial gender. Green represents the non-binary nature of this gender because green is the inverse of lavender (a mixture of pink and blue, meaning a mix of female and male).
Variations on the agender flag usually include green and black.
The four-stripe agender flag<ref name=":0">https://agender.info<br /></ref> is an homage to the original, widely-used seven-stripe agender flag created by Salem in 2014. They are similar in color scheme (black, gray, white, green). However, the four-stripe agender flag has a deliberately higher-contrast design with fewer stripes and emphasizes the community and inclusion of agender people who may also be lesbian, gay,
One interpretation of the colors of the four-stripe agender flag, from top to bottom, is: safety, unity, and the night sky (black), cement and ash (gray), bones (white), and the feeling of living and being agender (pure green).
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]].
