Novigender
Novigender is an uingender identity in which one's gender experience (or lack thereof) is complicated in such a way that it is difficult or impossible to put in (one) term(s). Novigender falls under the umbrella of pomogender, which is defined as a gender in where one denies or does not fit any labels for any particular gender.
Simply put, novigender individuals' gender experience cannot be expressed simply or in a single term, label or word.[1]
Some novigender people perceive themselves to be close to genderfluid, non-binary, or maverique.
Novigender people can choose to have any gender expression (more feminine, more masculine, or neutral), depending on where their experience leads them. They also may decide to be consistently masculine- or feminine-presenting in alignment with social norms.
