Aprescigender is a term for people who want their body to be perceived as genderless or gender neutral unless specified otherwise, or don't want their body to be tied in with their gender in any way. Aprescigender people are not necessarily uncomfortable with their bodies, but they are uncomfortable with the assumptions people make about them. Often, they perceive their bodies as genderless, gender neutral, or otherwise unrelated to their gender, therefore should not be used as an indicator for their gender.

Aprescigender people may have any gender identity, but do not want anyone to assume their gender based on their body or appearance, even if the assumption is correct. Apresci- may be combined with any gender label (examples: apresciboy, aprescigirl, aprescinonbinary).

Aprescifeminine

Aprescifeminine, or aprescifem, is an umbrella term for aprescigender people who are fingender, fiaspec, or are otherwise connected to femininity. Aprescifeminine people want to be referred to with gender neutral terms unless specified otherwise. Once specified, they may want to be referred to with feminine or woman-aligned terms.

Aprescimasculine

Aprescimasculine, or aprescimasc, is an umbrella term for aprescigender people who are mingender, miaspec, or are otherwise connected to masculinity. Aprescimasculine people want to be referred to with gender neutral terms unless specified otherwise. Once specified, they may want to be referred to with masculine or man-aligned terms.

Flags

The aprescigender, aprescifeminine, and aprescimasculine flags were all created on April 5, 2021.

The large black stripe represents usage of gender neutral terms by default. The rainbow represents the gender spectrum, and the possible desire to be referred to in a gendered manner once specified.

The warm colors were chosen for the aprescifeminine flag, as they are more commonly associated with femininity.

The cool colors were chosen for the aprescimasculine flag, as they are more commonly associated with masculinity.
