Where did the term originate?
According to an article in them., the first documented use of the word âagenderâ was on an internet forum called UseNet, back in the year 2000.
In a chat room, one user posted: âGod is amorphous, agender, [â¦] so image canât be a physical or gender or sexual thing.â
Is this the same thing as being gendervoid?
Being agender is similar to being gendervoid. Both are characterized by a lack of gender.
However, according to LGBTA Wiki, being gendervoid is slightly different than being agender because âa gendervoid person may feel like there is an empty place where a gender would/should be but simply isnât or is unable to experience gender.â
