Demigender definitions
Hey all!
I just thought I would make a post outlining the different demigenders, explaining in basic terms.
Demigender
Demigender is an umbrella term for nonbinary gender identities that have a partial connection to a certain gender
This includes the partly female identity demigirl, and the partly male identity demiboy
There are other partial genders using the “demi-” prefix for the same reasons. For example, deminonbinary, demifluid, demiflux, and so on
Demigender is an identity within itself, for people who feel connection to the concept of gender rather than certain genders.
Demigirl
A demigirl is someone who only partially (not wholly) identifies as a girl or woman, whatever their assigned gender at birth.They may or may not identify as another gender. In addition to feeling partially a girl or woman. Individuals may also use the terms demigal, demifemale or demiwoman.
Demiboy
A demiboy, also called demiguy, is someone whose gender identity is only partly male, regardless of their assigned gender at birth. They may or may not identify as another gender in addition to feeling partially a boy or man. They may also define their identity as both male and genderless (agenda).
Deminonbinary
Deminonbinary, or demienby, is a gender identity for someone who partially identifies as nonbinary.
Demifluid
Demifluid is a gender identity for “someone whose gender is partially fluid (genderfluid) with the other part(s) being static; an example could be: one part of their gender is ‘woman’ while the part that fluctuates is ‘man’ and 'genderqueer’.”
Demiflux
Demiflux is a gender identity for “someone whose gender is partially fluid with the other part(s) being static; this differs from 'demifluid’ as ’-flux’ indicates that one of the genders is neutral; an example could be: one part of their gender is 'genderqueer’ while the part that fluctuates is 'agender’ and 'woman’.”
I hope this helps :)
