Prefix: Libra-
Main Umbrella: Agiaspec

Gender(s): Mostly agender and partly another gender.


Libragender describes a gender identity that is mostly agender, but also has a strong connection to another gender identity. This connection may be static, fluid, or fluctuating.[1][2]

Depending on the secondary identity (where agender is considered the primary identity), one might find themselves further identifying with libramasculine, libraboy, librafeminine, libragirl, or any other gender combination.[3]

History

While the coining post for libragender was created on July 10th, 2014, the concept of libragender had been evident before official coining.[2][4] The term was formally coined on the Tumblr blog libragender on the 20th of July, 2014, with a brief explanation of the meaning behind the term and two flags.[1] The now deleted coining post explained how the origin of the term derived from the astrological sign Libra, typically depicted as a set of scales.[5] Following this analogy, one would place a gender on one side of the scale, which would be outweighed by the agender on the other side.[1][2]

Flags

The coining post for libragender included two flags, later identified to be associated with librafem and libramasc respectively.[2][8][10] The flag for libragender would be uploaded to Tumblr on the 3rd of October, 2019, by the same user who coined the term five years earlier.[21]

The colours of all libragender flags are based on the agender flag, with some earlier designs using a slightly darker shade of grey. Occasionally the astrological symbol for Libra (♎) is featured in the middle of the flag, reminding of the roots of the term in astrology.[22]

Alternate flags occasionally include the symbol for Mars or Venus, symbolizing masculinity and femininity respectively.[23][24]

An alternate libranonbinary flag was created by DeviantArt user Pride-Flags, on the 27th of June, 2016, of which featured a darker band of yellow compared to the original.[25]
