Gendercanon is a gender identity in which one has little to no concept of gender or a lack of gender, so they allow others to choose what gender to view them as.

Common Definitions

Gendercanon (also called canongender, headcanongender, or HCgender) is a term for those who don’t subscribe to the concept of gender or otherwise feel a lack of gender and allow others to decide what gender to view them as. The term is not specific to any gender modality and can either be used on its own or alongside other labels.


Essentially, if a gendercanon individual is seen as a girl, they are a girl. If they are seen as non-binary, they are non-binary. If they are asked what their gender is, they might say they don’t know, use their AGAB, or say something along the lines of “whatever you see me as.”
