Gender Neutrois

Neutrois is a non-binary gender identity centered on feeling neutral, null, or without gender.

Neutrois is a non-binary gender identity built around the sense of having a neutral or null gender rather than a masculine or feminine one. It sits under the transgender and genderqueer umbrellas, and there is no single fixed definition since each person who uses the word experiences their gender differently. For some, the label overlaps closely with agender or gender-neutral; for others it carries a distinct connection to gender neutrality of the body, and some describe a desire to reduce or remove physical gendered characteristics. The term emerged in online non-binary communities in the 2000s as people sought language for identities the binary did not describe. Neutrois is often used alongside, and sometimes interchangeably with, agender.
