Nihilgender
From LGBTQIA
Nihilgender has two definitions:
- Nihilgender is a gender that feels absent and empty. One has a gender, yet it is empty.
- Nihilgender is a gender that feels like it is all genders but also no genders. Because of that, it can be whatever genders it wants to be, and is paradoxal and ambiguous. Nihilgender can feel nebulous and strange. Nihilgender is multigendered by nature, and can be fluid.
Note that these are two different genders but are called the same thing.
