!Agender or Gendervoid A term which can be literally translated as 'without gender'. It can be seen either as a [[nonbinary|Link CluesNonbinary]] gender identity or as a statement of not having a gender identity. Many agender people also identify as genderqueer, nonbinary and/or [[transgender|Link CluesTrans]]. However, some agender people prefer to avoid these terms, especially transgender, as they feel this implies identifying as a gender other than their assigned gender, while they in fact do not identify as any gender at all In fact, the term agender is considered an oxymoron among many. Since it is a lack of gender, some feel that it should not be labeled as a gender at all.

!Ambonec A [[nonbinary|Nonbinary]] gender identity in which a person identifies as female, male, and neither, at the same time. Coined by transmalenaoto (nbshadow) in 2014, from Latin ambo "both" + nec "neither". Described by the one who coined it as a nonbinary "gender identity in which you identify as both male and female, yet you also identify as neither, at the same time. You can lean towards any sort of gender expression if you wanted. You can use any pronouns if you wanted. You can identify this within [[bi|Bigender]]/[[tri|Trigender]]/[[qua|Quagender]]/etc if you wanted. You can be [[demi|Demigender]]-ambonec , meaning there could be circumstances where it changes (mood, etc). You do not need dysphoria to identify as ambonec ."

!Androgyne Androgyne is a non-binary gender identity associated with androgyny. Androgynes have a gender which is simultaneously feminine and masculine, although not necessarily in equal amounts. Western society currently recognizes no set gender roles for androgynes. Because androgynes have a [[nonbinary|Nonbinary]] gender identity, they might also identify as genderqueer and/or [[transgender|Trans]].

!Aporagender Aporagender (from Greek apo, apor "separate" + "gender") is a [[nonbinary|Nonbinary]] gender identity and umbrella term for "a gender separate from male, female, and anything in between (unlike [[Androgyne|Androgyne]]) while still having a very strong and specific gendered feeling" (that is, not an absence of gender or [[agender|Agender]]).

!Binary Trans or Binary Transgender A trans person who exists within the male/female binary. You can be a trans woman or a trans man. !!Trans Woman A term which describes someone who is both a woman and transgender/transsexual. Trans women were assigned male at birth but their gender identity is female. They may be referred to as transfeminine. !!Trans Man A term which describes someone who is both a man and transgender/transsexual. Trans men were assigned female at birth, but their gender identity is male. They may be referred to as transmasculine.

!Cis or Cisgender Cisgender is a term for someone who has a gender identity that aligns with what they were assigned at birth. The term was created for referring to "non-transgender" people without alienating transgender people. For example, if the doctor announces a baby as being a girl, and she is fine with being a girl, then she is cisgender.

!Fluidflux Fluidflux is a gender identity which refers to an individual with a gender that moves between two or more genders and also fluctuates in intensity. Sometimes described as the combination of both [[genderfluid|Genderfluid]] and [[genderflux|Genderflux]] identities. It can also be felt in a way which is similar to a [[multigender|Multigender]] identity where someone could feel multiple genders at once, but have only one part of that combination fluctuate. For example, one could feel both male and female at that time, but only the female part of it fluctuates.

!Gender Neutral or Neutrois A [[nonbinary|Nonbinary]] gender identity which is often associated with a "neutral" or "null" gender. It may also be associated with genderlessness, and shares many similarities with [[agender|Agender]] - people who consider themselves neutrally gendered or genderless, but some may identify as both, while others may prefer one term or the other.

!Genderfluid Genderfluid is a gender identity which refers to a gender which varies over time. A gender fluid person may at any time identify as male, female, [[neutrois|Neutrois]], or any other non-binary identity, or some combination of identities. Their gender can also vary at random or vary in response to different circumstances. Genderfluid people may also identify as multigender, [[nonbinary|Nonbinary]] and/or [[[transgender|Transgender]]. Genderfluid people may feel more comfortable using gender neutral pronouns and have a androgynous gender expression. Genderfluid people who feel that the strength of their gender(s) change(s) over time, or that they are sometimes [[agender|Agender]], [[demigender|Demigender]], and a full gender may identify as [[genderflux|Genderflux]].

!Genderflux Genderflux is an umbrella term for gender identities in which gender intensity varies over time. It can be seen as a form of genderfluid on a spectrum from agender to one or more other gender identities. Genderflux people may also identify as nonbinary, genderqueer and/or transgender. Genderflux people tend to fluctuate on the spectrum of one gender where the intensity is from 0% that gender, which would be [[agender|Agender]], to 50%, or [[demigender|Demigender]], to 100% which would be the full or whole of that gender, or anything in between such as [[libragender|Libragender]] and [[paragender|Paragender]].

!Nonbinary or Genderqueer This term describes any gender identity which does not fit the male and female binary. The label genderqueer has a lot of overlap with non-binary. Non-binary is often seen as the preferred term, as "queer" may be used as a transphobic insult.

!Trans or Transgender Transgender or Transexuality is an umbrella term for anyone whose internal experience of gender does not match the gender they were assigned at birth (normally based on genitalia). Transgender people often experience discomfort or distress due to their gender not being recognized by others, and therefore wish to transition to being viewed as their true gender identity. Transgender people can be men, women or non-binary. They can have any sexual orientation, express their gender through their appearance in any way, and may or may not fit into society's views of gender.

Disclaimer: This flowchart isn't intended to stick a label on you, but to give you ideas for what identities you might like to use. If you disagree with your result, it's wrong. This is for major gender identities accessible to people of all cultures. Specifically, it contains identities centered on the identity of the gender rather than how the person perceives it, or more specific identities centered on how a gender changes, for the sake of space and simplicity. People who identify as two-spirit or third gender, I am depending on your knowledge of your own culture and its gender identities to know whether that's you. If you identify only partially as a culturally specific gender, you can use this flowchart to find specific multigender labels and labels for any other parts of your gender identity.
