'''Gender Nihilism''' is a philosophy based around the idea of getting rid of gender in society altogether.<ref>https://automaticwriting1.wordpress.com/2015/02/12/gender-nihilism/</ref> It is rooted in anti-humanist [[queer]] feminism. In this form of nihilism it is believed that the self is entirely defined by social structure, and that at the core it is nothing until it interacts with said social structure. Gender nihilism focuses on how this philosophy applies to gender specifically, though it can be applied to any aspect of identity. Gender nihilism declares that gender is an instrument created by institutions of power, and believes that the best/only way to get rid of the chains of gender based oppression is to have the instrument destroyed. It seeks to combat the need for an identity, and believes that identity categories are simply not worth it. |

''"The green in the flag represents antihumanism primarily, as in the original pride flag, violet represented the “spirit”, and the opposite of violet is green. The green can also represent the non-binary nature of gender nihilism, in the same way that green is used in the agender flag. The black represents the absence of gender, in this case either on a societal or personal scale, or both. The red represents the “radical negativity” emphasised in the anti-manifesto, but it also represents life, as it does in the pride flag, though without the restraints of gender. Finally the blending of these colours in the spaces in between shows the importance of these three principles coming together to help form the foundations for gender nihilism."'' |
