'''Isogender''', also known as '''Absgender''', is a [[Gender Modality|gender modality]] that refers to when one is not [[cisgender]], but also does not identify as [[transgender]] either.<ref>https://isogender.tumblr.com/post/632359657959276544/isogender-in-a-post</ref> Examples of individuals who may identify as isogender include:
Line 12 ⟶ 14:
Isogender was coined by an anonymous ask to the Tumblr user Bigendering on June 9, 2017.<ref>https://bigendering.tumblr.com/post/161610343001/this-isnt-a-question-just-me-being-a-nerd-but</ref> The term "iso" comes from the word isomer, as cis and trans are isomer types.
From Latin, “Abs-”, a prefix meaning “away (from)”, in this case referring to being conceptually ‘away’ from explicit cisgenderness/cisness and transgenderness/transness. + “-gender”, an English neologistic suffix indicating genderedness/genderness. [https://gender-resource.tumblr.com/post/624951702581362688/absgender-a-genderedness-that-is-between-beyond Coined] by Gent ([http://gender-resource.tumblr.com/ Gender-Resource]) in 2020 after Arco-Pluris requested an alternative term for Isogender and Metagender.<ref>[https://gender-resource.tumblr.com/post/624951702581362688/absgender-a-genderedness-that-is-between-beyond Gender Resource — Absgender: A genderedness that is between, beyond... (tumblr.com)]</ref>
“Abs-” can be used as a prefix in the same way that “Cis-” or “Trans-” can be used as prefixes to discuss one's gender in relation to their assignment.
Line 21 ⟶ 23:
Blue, purple, and pink represent masc, fem, and those who may be a mix of both. The greyscale gradient represents attachment or intensity of gender, from white (entirely agender) to dark grey (strong attachment).
Two tweaked Isogender flags were created by Tumblr user Noname-Nonamorous on August 24, 2021 from Beyond-MOGAI-Pride-Flags' design.<ref>[https://archive.is/fG5ml Noname-Nonamorous' Isogender flags, Archived]</ref> The flag took the original Isogender flag and adjusted the colors, made to look less bright and easier on the eyes. One of the flag features a disk symbol, coming from how Iso, the shortening of Isogender, is also a disk file type.
