Neutrois
Neutrois (pronounced: nu-traw) is a non-binary gender identity that is neutral, both with respect to the male-female spectra and with respect to any other gender identity. It exists under the genderqueer and transgender umbrellas.
The word "neutrois" was coined by H. A. Burnham in 1995.<ref>https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/neutrois</ref>
There is not a "one size fits all" definition of neutrois.
Agender
The most common definition for agender is lack of gender. <ref>http://gender.wikia.com/wiki/Agender</Ref> Agender is also an umbrella term. It can also mean complete lack of gender.
Neutral-gender
Neutral gender can mean any of the previously offered definitions or a middle ground on the male-female spectra.
Null-gender
Null-gender is a gender that does not include aspects of being male or female. Sometimes null-gender people will reject gender stereotypes and behavioral norms. <ref>http://wiki.susans.org/index.php/Null_gender</ref>
Transitioning
Transitioning can take different forms for genderless people, such as name change, pronoun change, hormone therapy, surgery <ref>http://neutrois.com/transition/hormones/</ref> to more accurately represent their gender, or wearing clothing to express their gender identity more accurately. <ref>Social Transition</ref> Not all people who identity as neutrois wish to transition.
