    An agender noun includes both the masculine and feminine forms.
    All I understand is that G-d is amorphous, agender, etc. so "image" can't be a physical or gender or sexual thing. 28 July 2000, Miriam Wolfe, “Re: The Genealogy of J---s Question”, in alt.messianic (Usenet)
    "He" has been used as the default pronoun, and as I said, unfortunately there is no agender equivalent to he/she, as "it" is usually equated with something without life, or at least of a life form considered to be less intelligent (that in itself is negotiable, but this is for a different topic). 21 November 2000, abbycat2 [username], “Re: God and Grammar”, in soc.religion.quaker (Usenet)
    But despite this near-universality of gender, cultures can have transgender, agender, and hypergender individuals. 20 July 2005, man_in_black529 [username], “Re: Homosexuality and the Bible”, in alt.politics.democrats (Usenet)
    "'Agender'? I'm pretty sure that means not identifying as a particular gender? I'm sorry. That's just what it made me think of. I'm not trying to tell you what to--"] [6 April 2020, Dan Shive, El Goonish Shive (webcomic), Comic for Monday, Apr 6, 2020
