Definitions

 * -Near or Near- is both a prefix and suffix that describe a gender that feels extremely close to fitting a certain label, but there is something slightly 'off', 'missing', or 'different' about it. What defines a gender feeling this way is up to the individual. For example, feeling extremely close to being agender, but not quite fitting the term's definition 100%. As a percentage, the individual may feel as if ones gender fits the description of agender, but only 90-99% of the way - there is something slightly off about it. - TheNelsonSystem
