{{Quote|''Anonymous asked: This isn't a question, just me being a nerd, but since I'm bigender (woman and nonbinary) and I'm AFAB, I don't really feel trans because my gender isn't GOING anywhere, at least, that's how I feel, but I'd prefer they/them so I'm not cis exactly, so I now use "iso" to describe myself because it comes from isomer and cis and trans are isomer types. aaaanyway, I hope you're having a good day''
"Ooh I love it! (Biology nerd here) <br />
Would iso be a good term for anyone who doesn’t feel either cis or trans, or for anyone who doesn’t feel cis?"|Kai of Bigendering|Tumblr June 2017}}

From Latin, “Abs-”, a prefix meaning “away (from)”, in this case referring to being conceptually ‘away’ from explicit cisgenderness/cisness and transgenderness/transness. + “-gender”, an English neologistic suffix indicating genderedness/genderness.

“Abs-” can be used as a prefix in the same way that “Cis-” or “Trans-” can be used as prefixes to discuss one's gender in relation to their assignment.

Two tweaked Isogender flags were created by Tumblr user Noname-Nonamorous on August 24, 2021 from Beyond-MOGAI-Pride-Flags' design.<ref>[https://archive.is/fG5ml Noname-Nonamorous' Isogender flags, Archived]</ref> The flag took the original Isogender flag and adjusted the colors, made to look less bright and easier on the eyes. One of the flag features a disk symbol, coming from how Iso, the shortening of Isogender, is also a disk file type.
