Quoigender also known as WTFgender or Whatgender is a gender that can have many different meanings. It is an umbrella term for anyone who doesn't quite understand their gender or doesn't want to define their gender. Some definitions of quoigender include:
- Being unsure what gender is, and therefore being unsure if one has experienced it or not.
- Finding the concept of gender identity to be personally inaccessible, non-nonsensical, or inapplicable.
- Finding the experience of gender confusing.
- Disidentifying with the concept of gender- either as a social construct or as something potentially applicable to oneself.
- An alternative to questioning to express exhaustion or frustration with searching for a better gender identity term.
- Questioning one's gender for such a long time that the questioning itself becomes the identity, rather than a path toward any other more stable identity.
