Common myths

"Neutrois and agender are the same thing." While closely related, neutrois often describes a specific, positive quality of neutrality - a null or zero-point gender - rather than simply the absence of gender.
"Neutrois people don't have a gender." Neutrois people have a gender identity: it is neutral. Nullity or neutrality is a real, experienced gender position.
