Can an a Agender person be more masculine?
I am a proud Agender/non-binary person, which means I identify with no gender at all, feeling a lack of gender. I use they/them pronouns, and have even changed my once feminine name to Noa. Although I feel that I have no gender, I also feel some sort of masculinity with looks, and titles, such as father/son/king, instead of wife/daughter/queen, and the gender neutral versions. so am I still agender? Or like is there a word for it?

"Agender" describes a gender identity that is either neutral or no gender whatsoever. It can be a variety of different things. The cool thing about gender identity, or the way we feel about ourselves and the way we label it with those words, is that it can be very different from the way that we present ourselves. In society, there's often that conflation of if you are a woman, then you dress femininely, and if you are a man, then you dress masculinely, and that's it. However, within any gender, but especially within the world of non-binary genders, there really are no rules. And so you can present in whatever ways feel best to your body. And by present, I mean, whatever clothes you wear, how you have your hair, how you speak, how you hold your body, everything like that. It can be in a way that society might perceive as traditionally masculine, and you get to decide how you feel about that perception in relation to your identity. You get to be the arbiter of that. I think it's great to dress and present in whatever ways feel best for your body, even if it doesn't match what society might think.

Yep! You can be agender and lean masculine, though there are specific lables for part-agender and part-masculine genders. (Such as being libranasculine or paraboy)
