Where does Neutrois come from? Who coined it?
Neutrois means non-gendered class. It was originally coined by H.A. Burnham, in 1995. Ze formed it to give a name to hirself, and other people with feelings of gender absence and resulting misalignment.How do other TGs view Neutrois? Some are fine with it and consider it another facet of the gender spectrum. Others may be threatened by it. This could be due to a number of things. One is that they completely invested themselves in stereotypical definitions of gender identity and behaviors. These people are extremely uncomfortable with anyone who refuses to live the same way they do. Another reason is that they accepted implied behavior requirements from therapists, lived according to stereotypes, and either resent anyone who doesn’t have to conform to all the prerequisites that they did, or believe we’re out to screw things up for others seeking sexual reassignment surgery.
