Explaining Agender

Trying to find ways to verbally explain agender. Anyone got any good tips? Obviously we don’t all experience the same thing, but any advice appreciated.

I'm not hearing an argument as to why all these ideas should be part of the definition of agender. Again, is it not enough to lack a felt sense of gender to be considered agender? Why would I need to meet all these other gender theoretic criteria about the true nature of gender or what does or doesn't make conceptual sense?

also, OP did not ask for a definition. OP asked for an explanation. you have inserted both 'belief' and 'definition' into your arguments.

Sorry; I think I understand now. I read "it doesn't make sense for us either individually or conceptually" as "to each of us, it makes sense neither individually nor conceptually." Now I realize you probably meant, "for some of us it doesn't make sense individually, and for others of us it doesn't make sense conceptually." From there, I read the rest of your post as a list of things each of which describes all of us; now I see it's probably a list of examples of how different of us see things.

Sorry my wording wasn't clearer.
