Neutrois

Neutrois is a non-binary gender identity characterized by a gender that is neutral, neither male nor female, and often without any gender expression or perceived gender. Individuals who identify as neutrois may experience a detachment from gendered social expectations or a sense of having an 'empty' gender. The specific experience of being neutrois can vary widely, encompassing feelings of genderlessness, gender neutrality, or a flat gender. It is a distinct identity within the broader non-binary umbrella. The term prioritizes the absence of gender, rather than the presence of another.
