Agender (also known as genderless, gender-free, non-gendered, or ungendered)[1][2] is a gender identity where an individual has no gender at all.[3][4][5]
This group represents a spectrum of identities that diverge from conventional gender norms. According to scholar Finn Enke, not all agender individuals may self-identify as transgender.[6] While there is no universally accepted set of pronouns for agender people, singular they is commonly used, but it is not the default.[7]

The term transgender is an umbrella term 'and generally refers to any and all kinds of variation from gender norms and expectations' (Stryker 19). Most often, the term transgender is used for someone who feels that the sex assigned to them at birth does not reflect their own gender identity. They may identify as the gender "opposite" to their assigned gender, or they may feel that their gender identity is fluid, or they may reject all gender categorizations and identify as agender or genderqueer.
