Neagender

Neagender refers to someone who's gender identity is connected to the void, but has some form of gendered component(s) inherently tied into it. This can mean gendered alignment, presentation, or just a vague connection. Some examples of what a connection to the void may mean to someone using this label include:


 * A connection to an actual void, like space.
 * A connection to space itself, or the deep ocean.
 * A connection to liminal spaces, like the backrooms (liminalgender).
 * Feeling that one's gender is a void. (Genderless or gendervoid.)
 * Feeling somewhat like a given gender, but distorted.
 * A haze, fog, or vast feeling.
 * Any other connection to the void, depending on one's own experiences.

The void aspect described in neagender has been described as: "More than just nothingness, for some. It can also describe a void feeling, or it can describe some sort of aesthetic (like many other xenogenders). However, for many, it can just mean a lack of gender, or a distortion of gender."

Neagender can be a standalone gender or it can be a modifier to another gender, for example, neamasc, neafem, neanonbinary, neaneu, etc. It can also be used alongside multigenders such as genderfluid or bigender. For multigender people who always experience a void-feeling in their genders, they may use neafluid and/or neabigender.

Neagender can be, but isn't always, a xenogender, depending on how one uses it. Neagender people may also identify as agender, gendervoid, neutrois, as well as non-binary and/or transgender.

Flag
The neagender flag was created by Tumblr user Pridewiki on June 5, 2020. Since then, the creator has made a blog for neagender, @neagender, where there have been edits and additions to the original. The same creator also made the flags for neamasc, neafem, neaneu, and neanonbinary.

The flag stripes are as follows: The black stands for the void, the blue stands for distortion and/or ambiguity, the light blue stands for personal identity, and the purple stands for the gendered component(s).
