Does anyone know any other words for genderlessness?
I’ve heard genderless, nongendered, agender, and neutrois. I’m looking for other terms. (Not to change which one I go by, but rather to find other people. I think genderless is my preferred term for now.)
I can’t think of any, but my favorite of those is “nongendered”.
At the moment I like genderless because it seems like the most seamlessly a word. Like it doesn’t take any effort to know what it means. Nongendered would be my second favorite (which is one I came up with on my own, but probably others have too), followed by agender (which is okay, but kind of meh), and I am really not fond of neutrois at all. At least, not for myself.
A few people have mentioned words like androgynous, but to me that’s always connoted a between-gender or mixed-gender or other-gender rather than the total absence of gender. I don’t feel andro or androgynous, I feel genderless, nongendered. But maybe some people have different definitions of those words. Words are confusing. Gender words are most confusing of all.
