Isogender is a Gender Modality that refers to when one is not Cis, but also does not identify as Trans either.[1]
Some examples of people who may identify as Isogender include:
- A Bigender, or otherwise Multigender person who doesn't feel Trans because a significant portion of their gender is the same as their assigned gender.
- A Nonbinary person who does not feel Trans because their gender or gender presentation is similar to their assigned gender as birth. For example, a feminine aligned Nonbinary person who is AFAB.
- An Agender, or otherwise Genderless person who does not feel like Trans describes them due to their lack of gender.
Contents
