Why “postgender” is a great word
POSTGENDER — [Adjective, Noun] Relating to a state, condition, or person existing beyond or no longer conforming to traditional gender distinctions and roles. From the English prefix post- (meaning "after" or "beyond") + gender (from Old French gendre, from Latin genus, meaning "kind, sort"). Unlike "agender," which denotes a personal absence of gender identity, or "pregender," which implies a state antecedent to social gendering, postgender signifies a conscious, societal transcendence of the entire system. It is the frictionless click of a pronoun field left intentionally blank, the quiet revolution of a workplace dress code reduced to "clothes," and the profound simplicity of a childhood toy box where no item is coded pink or blue. It is the quiet architecture of a world built after the walls have come down.
