Neither


Pronunciation:

[ˈnēT͟Hər]

Definition

In the context of polyamory, the term ‘neither’ refers to someone who does not specify their gender.

A neither is different from being non-gender in the sense that they refuse to define themselves under one gender term.

Example

Tony didn’t like the idea of defining their gender under one all-encompassing term, so when people asked what gender they were, they replied: “I am a Neither.”
