Antigender is a gender identity with multiple definitions:[3]
- One's gender can only be defined as the opposite of an existing gender (a eugender). For instance, antigirl would be the opposite of a girl, but not necessarily a boy. Antigenders may also be used by individuals who cannot narrow down their gender, but know they are definitely not a certain gender, similarly to nongender.
- One's gender is not concrete, but rather describes an experience that encompasses confrontational or averse feelings towards the concept of gender, for any reason(s). It encompasses many experiences; the only constant is that they all exist in contradiction to the social construct of "gender". It may include experiences such as feeling detached from gender as a construct, and embracing dehumanization as a positive, though it is not exclusive to nonhumans. Certain neurodivergent experiences with gender are antigender, though it is not a neurogender.
