first time hearing about agender and have no idea what is is? i recommend going through the agender crash course! have a specific question about agender or don’t know what a term means? i recommend seeing the specific question section!
so, what is agender?
this may be the question most of you wonder about which ended up leading you to this carrd! agender is someone who does not identify with any sort of gender. agender can essentially be translated to “without gender”. someone who is agender may identify as being genderless, having no gender, being gender neutral, having no label or gender, a gender just simply being a person, etc. agender people can consider themselves as non-binary, trans, both or neither and just simply go by agender! some people even identify as something else such as genderflux and agender as they fluctuate into it!
to understand more about the definitions of certain words i’m using throughout this carrd, please see this page!

wait... so what is nonbinary?
non-binary, also sometimes spelt as nonbinary (short forms include n.b, n-b, nby, and enby) is an umbrella term which covers all identities which fit outside the binary, however, non-binary can be an identity in itself!! someone who is non-binary does not have to have another identity and can just simply say they are non-binary as they do not fit within the gender binarys! non-binary is not a third gender. to learn more about non-binary see this carrd!

aren’t all nonbinary people agender?
NO! there are many different non-binary identities, examples of some include genderfluid, bigender, demigender, genderflux, and much more! there are even identifies like agenderflux (a subset of genderflux) where one feels as if they have no particular gender as well as fluctuating between masculine and feminine! to see more gender identities check here!

so.. wait, what’s the difference?
nonbinary, as i explained, is a spectrum of gender identities that are not exclusively male or female, aka being outside of the binary. agender is an identity which falls under this spectrum and umbrella, being an identity where one has no gender. both agender and nonbinary can coexist, while also being identities within themselves. someone may identify as agender and nonbinary, or only as one! not everyone who is nonbinary is agender. they are two separate and different things.

so... what pronouns do agender people use?
agender people can use whatever pronouns they like! some may use they/them, she/her, he/him, no pronouns, neopronouns or a mix! remember that pronouns do not always equal gender and that agender (as well as all non-binary people) can use whichever pronouns they like! and remember to ask what pronouns they use!! do not assume!

so if i like someone who is agender does
that mean i’m bi/pan now?
NO! as i mentioned previously, non-binary is NOT a third gender just as agender would also not be considered a third gender. non-binary people have been included in every sexuality and just because someone is agender that does not mean you would be bi/pan. agender people can also be lesbian, gay, straight, whichever they chose. they do not have to be bi/pan because they are agender because as i’ve said, it is not a third gender.

how can an agender person be lesbian/gay/straight?
gender is a spectrum and in simple forms there is the male alignment side, the female alignment side and the middle which would be known as unaligned. lesbians are female-aligned or unaligned people who are attached to other female-aligned or unaligned people, just like gay people are male-aligned or unaligned people who like other male-aligned or unaligned people.

aren’t all agender people asexual/aromantic?
NO! agender, asexual and aromantic are all three different things. asexual and aromantic have to do with your sexual attraction and romantic attraction whereas agender has to do with your gender identity, which are all three completely different things. they have similar names, however they are different. agender people can be asexual, aromantic, both or neither however not all agender people are asexual/aromantic.

sometimes i feel agender, but other times i don’t, what does that mean?
everyone experiences gender differently! agender, while similar to nonbinary, can be an identity in itself, can also be something that someone partially feels, fluctuates into, etc. what this means really is that those who solely identified as agender are often unaligned people who 100% of the time feel agender, but those who identify as genderfluid for example, may feel agender one day and demigirl the next! gender is complex and everyone has different experiences and feelings about it!

agender people exist.
they always have and they always will, we are valid regardless of what transphobes/enbyphobes might say, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!
agender people are wonderful, amazing, and so fucking cool.
gender and agender is complex and this carrd will only give you a brief introduction to agender, if you want to learn more i recommend speaking to agender people and researching more about it as a whole!

terms and definitions
GENDER: A socially-expressive self-concept, often used in reference to social and cultural differences between man and woman. The term gender is often paired with gender identities which is ones own personal sense of gender.
CISGENDER: Someone whose gender identity corresponds to their AGAB (assigned gender at birth).
TRANSGENDER: Someone whose a gender identity does not correspond to their AGAB.
NON-BINARY: Someone who is not strictly a man or a woman. They can be partially one or the other, both, neither, fluctuate, or simply just be something outside the binary.
THE BINARY: The socially-constructed idea of male and female, man and woman.
AGENDER: Someone who is without a gender.
GENDER DYSPHORIA: Distress caused by the inability to live comfortably often caused by an enforced incorrect gender assignment (normally their AGAB)
GENDER INCONGRUENCE: The mismatch and discomfort an individual feels as a result of the discrepancy experienced between their gender identity and the gender they were assigned at birth.
THE ALIGNMENT SCALE: The simple scale of binary and nonbinary gender alignment which encompasses woman-aligned, man-aligned, un-aligned, fem-aligned and masc-aligned. Alignment and the alignment scale is an entire topic within itself and I recommend researching more about it as these are very brief explanations.
UNALIGNED: An unaligned person is someone who does not fit under nor feel like the binary genders. Agender people are unaligned.
WOMAN-ALIGNED and MAN-ALIGNED: Woman and man-aligned are the far ends of the alignment scales which are the binary genders.
FEMALIGNED and MASCALIGNED: Fem and masc-aligned are different from woman and man aligned as they are not necessarily feeling like you are said binary gender but rather you like presenting as more masc/fem or being referred to ask such terms.
