So this has been bugging me.

I've heard that Neutris is 0% of either gender.
But doesn't that make you Agender?

Or that they are the same, but under different names?

The definitions change between groups, but I think around there, it's accepted that agender (or genderless) is no gender identity, whereas neutrois is a gender identity of "none". Neutrois feel that not female/not male is their gender... genderless people don't really have a concept of gender.

Being agender, I don't understand it either, but I suck at psychology.

Find humans confusing? Me too. I muse on the most influential mammalian species on the planet here:

Agender is a vague term. It can be synonymous with either genderless (no gender identity) or neutrois (the gender identity of neither male nor female), even though those two aren't synonymous wiht each other.

I've heard some peopel say agender is "neutrois without the desire to transition". *shrugs* I just try to avoid the term because I don't know which is more acceptable.
