'''Aporagender''' is a [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] gender, or group of genders, defined as being separate from [[Man|male]], [[Woman|female]], and anything in between, while still being a strong and specific gendered feeling. Aporagender people are not a combination of male and female (unlike [[androgyne]] people), and still have a strong gendered feeling (unlike [[agender]] people).▼

Aporagender was coined on the Tumblr blog Aporagender some time in 2014, around the same time that maverique was coined. The
== Flag ==
The aporagender flag was designed by Hyaenahart on the Aprogender blog. The color meanings are as follows: Blue and pink, representing maleness and femaleness, have been put on either end of the flag to show that this gender is separate from them. Purple represents feeling in between male and female, and possibly represents the spectrum of aprogender identities. Yellow represents how the gender is nothing like being female, male or both. It is placed close enough to blue, purple and pink to show that it’s still connected strongly to some sort of gender. It also represents how it’s a non-binary identity.
An alternate aporagender was designed by Mod Lune on the Tumblr blog wedontcareaboutyourbinary on July 3, 2018.<ref>[{{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://wedontcareaboutyourbinary.tumblr.com/post/175489605783/aporagender-flag-suggestion-its-recently-come-to Alternate flag}}]</ref> They were dissatisfied with how strongly the original flag focuses on the binary gender and “betweenness”. Yellow and green were chosen as they are strongly associated with non-binary identities that are completely separate from a female/male (pink/blue) point of reference. Teal represents aporagender identities that may seem similar to maleness/masculinity or femaleness/femininity, but are distinctly their own separate gender feelings. The black diagonal stripe is in opposition to white, which frequently references lack, absence or void. Black represents the presence of a specific gender feeling. Its diagonal orientation refers to the existence of these genders on a plane completely distinct from the binary.
Two more alternate flags were created by FANDOM user [[User:MimiRat|MimiRat]] on August 25th, 2021.<ref>[{{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Aporagender?commentId=4400000000000185086 Alternate flags}}]</ref> The meanings for these flags are the same as the meaning of the original flag.
