Acegender

Acegender is an orientationgender in which one's gender is connected to or is heavily influenced by one being asexual or ace-spec. Acegender can be a stand-alone gender or used in combination with another gender to show that one's experience of that gender is heavily influenced by one's ace-spec identity. For example, one could be an acegender demiboy.

Etymology
Acegender is a combination of the word ace (the shortened version of asexual, which the gender is based upon; also refers to ace-spec), and the suffix -gender.

Definitions
One's gender can be influenced by one's asexuality in many ways. For example, one may not feel fully connected to manhood because masculinity is often heavily tied with sexuality. Or one may feel that, even though they are a certain gender, they do feel fully connected to that gender, or their experience as that gender has been heavily influenced by being asexual. Ace-spec and acegender people may be gender non-conforming for similar reasons.

Acegender is not the same as genderace.
