If you think asexual is confusing wait until you hear about agender. Agender is people whose gender is they don't have a gender. But anyone who identifies as agender isn't agender because they have a gender (agender). They are actually a-agender, which is the gender for people who identify as a gender that is agender.

I think agender could be useful for getting out of having to make up a bunch of weird gender stuff for yourself. agender any/all. Because gender isn't real.

I never understood that. Isn't it the same as non-binary?

Non-binary is anything not male or female. Including things like "cat" and "attack helicopter".

Non-binary doesn't include non-ternary though.

thing is they jury-rigged all their explanations around the concept of dysphoria (first with the horrifying case of the Reimer twins, then to explain those who had surgery and hormones to actually do their best to switch sexes)

but the categories of "cis," "agender," "genderfluid," "nonbinary" are all basically all synonyms for "doesn't have dysphoria": there's no consistent way to separate them, the hivemind just went "that sounds right" to each boiled-down, Gender Studies 101 definition
