Aporagender

Aporagender is both a specific gender identity and an umbrella term for being a non-binary gender separate from man, woman, or anything in between, while still having a strong and specific gendered feeling.
==Etymology==
Aporagender derives from the Greek apo-, which means 'separate'.

===Flag===
The aporagender pride flag was created by a person named Lex. The design was made available online as early as August 14, 2015. The pink, blue, and purple lines represent feminine, masculine, and androgynous genders respectively. The centered yellow line (representing gender outside the bounds of femininity, androgyny, or masculinity) is distinct from such genders but still connected to being a specific gender. The yellow line also shows how aporagender may be considered a non-binary identity.
===Distinction===
====Agender====
An agender person does not have a sense of gender or can be described as being “without gender”, while aporagender means having a strong sense of gender, although that gender different from male, female, or in between
====Maverique====
Maverique is a gender identity that expresses a present feeling of gender that is not female, male, neutral, or any other identities derived from them. Maverique and aporagender were coined at almost the exact same time by different people, and while they do share some similarities, they are each their own distinct identity. Aside from having a distinct community, the biggest difference between the two terms is that aporagender may be used as an umbrella term to refer to various genders, while maverique is a distinct gender of its own. However, some people may identify as both terms.
====Neutrois====
Although similar, aporagender is not the same as neutrois. Neutrois means feeling no inner sense of gender expression; furthermore, aporagender people are not gender-neutral, while some neutrois describe themselves as such. Many aporagender people feel that neutrois implies a connection or commentary on the gender binary, which they feel no connection to.
===Non-binary===
Although non-binary is an umbrella term that encompasses the term aporagender, aporagender is distinct from other non-binary identities in that they feel very a strong sense of gender separate from any relation to the binary.
