Can an a Agender person be more masculine?
I am a proud Agender/non-binary person, which means I identify with no gender at all, feeling a lack of gender. I use they/them pronouns, and have even changed my once feminine name to Noa. Although I feel that I have no gender, I also feel some sort of masculinity with looks, and titles, such as father/son/king, instead of wife/daughter/queen, and the gender neutral versions. so am I still agender? Or like is there a word for it?

"Agender" describes a gender identity that is either neutral or no gender whatsoever. It can be a variety of different things. The cool thing about gender identity, or the way we feel about ourselves and the way we label it with those words, is that it can be very different from the way that we present ourselves. In society, there's often that conflation of if you are a woman, then you dress femininely, and if you are a man, then you dress masculinely, and that's it. However, within any gender, but especially within the world of non-binary genders, there really are no rules. And so you can present in whatever ways feel best to your body. And by present, I mean, whatever clothes you wear, how you have your hair, how you speak, how you hold your body, everything like that. It can be in a way that society might perceive as traditionally masculine, and you get to decide how you feel about that perception in relation to your identity. You get to be the arbiter of that. I think it's great to dress and present in whatever ways feel best for your body, even if it doesn't match what society might think.

Yes, yes, and yes. No matter how you present your identity, you are valid. I'm genderfluid, and I could have a person sitting right next to me who is genderfluid and presents completely different than me. That doesn't mean that either one of us is more or less valid. It just means we have different understandings of who we are.
A lot of the time, it’s great for us to find these labels, but it can also be harmful because then we feel like once we've found one that resonates with us, we have to stay within it all the time – and that's not true. There are so many different ways to express yourself under a flag or an identity. So, yes, be your agender self and dress more masculine and use more masculine terms. You are completely valid.

Yep! You can be agender and lean masculine, though there are specific lables for part-agender and part-masculine genders. (Such as being libranasculine or paraboy)

I just read your whole post and went "hang on. That's me!" Except sometimes I feel more feminine? T_T gender is confusing. Anyone got ideas on what I am? It's surprising I don't know since I basically know everything under the sun about gender.

OOOK so I did a bit more research, and because of another comment I found out what Librafluid is - Librafluid describes a gender identity that is primarily agender (having no gender) but with a fluctuating or fluid connection to other genders, like masculine, feminine, or non-binary feelings. It's often used interchangeably with agenderflux, meaning someone mostly feels agender but experiences varying intensities or presence of other gendered feelings over time.

personally I think it might be
Agenderfluid- A gender identity that blends agender (having no gender) and genderfluid (gender identity changes over time) experiences, where someone may feel mostly genderless but experience fluctuations or shifts to other genders, often returning to an agender state.
Genderflux/Agenderflux- Describes a gender that fluctuates in intensity, from feeling fully gendered to feeling genderless (agenderflux).
or
Genderfluidity: Describes a gender identity that changes over time, potentially spanning the entire spectrum of genders or none at all.
Again this is YOUR personal preference so do what you will with this information,
I hope you have a great day XD
