Neutrois

Neutrois is a gender identity. It is characterized by gender neutrality. Neutrois is often translated as indifference towards gender or even lack of it as in agender.[1] The term is often used by those who want to show a feeling of gender dysphoria and who want or plan medical and/or social transition to have a more neutral or androgynous appearance by removing gender markers that are associated with femininity or masculinity.[2][3][4][5][6][7]
