Interesting. I have seen many people try to describe and justify to others feeling not cis or trans, and now that I'm familiar with a term for it, even better.
Is this the correct prefix?
So then can this term also mean "halfway between" cis and trans? Closer to one's AGAB?
As opposed to the scenario you've brought up where AGAB is irrelevant, I bet in that case, Isogender would be useful as a descriptor for an Agender person.
Yes that is correct. I would say it can also refer to being half-way between cis and trans as well, though Isogender in general really has a much looser connection/dependency on AGAB as a concept.
Isogender
A community for all people who identify under the Isogender Umbrella.
Isogender is a gender Modality which refers to when someone does not identify as cisgender or transgender.
Examples of Isogender:
-
A bigender, or otherwise multigender, individual who doesn't really feel transgender as a significant portion of their gender strongly resembles/is the same as their AGAB and isn't dysphoric towards their gender.
-
A non-binary individual who doesn't really feel transgender as their gender is strongly similar to their assigned gender as birth.
-
Someone who stops feeling gender incongruence sometimes or someone whose gender incongruence fluctuates in intensity.
-
An agender or otherwise genderless individual who does not feel like transgender describes them due to the fact that their gender does not exist.
