'''Demigender''' (from ''demi'' "half" + "gender") is an [[umbrella term]] for [[nonbinary]] [[gender identity|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. Like nonbinary, '''demigender''' is also an identity within itself, for people who feel connection to the concept of gender rather than certain genders. Being a demigender "is not dependent on how much (as in percentage) someone identities as one gender; it solely depends on if a person identifies as partially. For some, they may identify with two or more genders while others may not."<ref name="Savage">{{Cite web |title=Demigender Definitions |author=Savage |work=A Safe Place for Demigenders |date=11 November 2014 |access-date=30 April 2020 |url= https://demigenders.tumblr.com/post/102344212344/demigender-definitions|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230610045523/https://demigenders.tumblr.com/post/102344212344/demigender-definitions |archive-date=17 July 2023 }}</ref>

[[File:Demifluix flag -).png|thumb|260x260px|The Demifluix Flag, created by Fandom user '''''Guns Før Hands'''''.]]
Demifluix, also known as demifluidflux, is a demigender in which a part of one's gender is [[fluidflux]], meaning it changes while also varying in intensity while the other part(s) of one's gender are static. Demifluix can describe part of one's gender being [[genderfluid]] and [[genderflux]] at the same time, with another part of one's gender being static. The static part can be any gender or combination of genders. For example someone could be always a demigirl, but is also fluid between [[boyflux]] and enbyflux.{{Citation needed}}

==History== 
On August 12, 2010, user Bad Patient of AVEN's [[Transyada|transyadas]]<ref>https://www.asexuality.org/en/topic/54301-whats-a-transyada/?tab=comments#comment-1640236 [https://web.archive.org/web/20230420041725/https://www.asexuality.org/en/topic/54301-whats-a-transyada/?tab=comments Archived] on 17 July 2023</ref> posted


<blockquote> I've been thinking. (It's a thing I do. Pretty much all I do, really.) Last night I was lying in bed and thinking about the kind of stuff everyone else thinks about before they fall asleep: my weird sexual and gender identity. At one point I remembered my fondness of the term "demiromantic" and, chuckling, I said to myself that I can any word relate to me if I just stick a "demi-" in front of it. And then I realised that it might actually help me find a word for my gender identity. I've felt for some time that I may have too much of the masculine element in me to call myself agender and feel good about it — so maybe it would be a nice idea to call myself a demiguy. Demidude. Demibloke. Just not demiman, tyvm, because I only accept being called a man when you're talking about my body and not mind, and even then I prefer adjectives like "masculine" or "male" to that dreaded noun. Now, I'm not being entirely serious here, as I'm not going to go around calling myself a demibloke and I don't think I'll ever find a term that fully describes me anyway — and if I do, my identity will probably change just to spite me — but I kind of like those words and feel that they may actually describe me quite well. I'm not sure. But then again, I'm never sure of anything related to myself.


Signed,


Bad Patient the Demiyada

== Description ==
[[File:Screenshot 2026-05-09 at 9.25.10 AM.png|thumb|276x276px|''Sepgender Flag, designed by Reddit user u/OwnerOfAir069.'']]
'''Sepgender''', or '''Gendersep''', is a Non-Binary gender identity which describes someone who knows they have a gender, but is unsure what it is, or feels like there are no labels that describe their gender. '''Sepgender''' individuals may feel disconnected from their gender. '''Sepgender''' is different from [[Agender]] as one feels a presence of gender, but feels unsure or disconnected from it. '''Sepgender''' is similar to Greygender (Graygender), and one may feel that their gender has very little intensity.

The term '''Sepgender''' comes from the word ''separate'', to describe the feeling that one’s gender is disconnected or separate, from all other genders.

== Flag ==
The green in the flag represents a combination of male and female. The yellow represents Non-binary identities. The blue and the pink represent male and female, and the white, to grey stripes, represent people with no gender, or many genders. The colors are faded because people who identify as '''Sepgender''' often feel disconnected, or that their gender is "pale".

== History ==
The term '''Sepgender''' was coined by Reddit user ''u/OwnerOfAir069'', on May 9th, 2026, in [https://www.reddit.com/r/QueerVexillology/comments/1t877ug/sepgendergendersep_flag/ this reddit post].

When people talk about nonbinary gender, they often find that there aren't any words for their experiences. This is called a lexical gap. In order to fill a lexical gap, this wiki takes up "xenogender" as an [[umbrella term]] for an entire category of nonbinary genders that are defined by characteristics with no relation whatsoever to "female" or "male." The adjective "xenine" means "of or pertaining to xenogenders". The noun form of xenine is xenity.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://momma-mogai-sphinx.tumblr.com/post/183175311934/im-sort-of-new-to-al-of-this-what-exactly-does |title=Anonymous asked: i'm sort of new to al of this, what exactly does 'xenine' mean? |date=2 March 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230315015851/https://momma-mogai-sphinx.tumblr.com/post/183175311934/im-sort-of-new-to-al-of-this-what-exactly-does |archive-date=17 July 2023 }}</ref>

Because a [[gender binary]] society doesn't give much in the way of roles or descriptions for nonbinary genders, some transgender and nonbinary people address the challenge of describing their unusual gender identities by creative methods, referring to concepts that aren't usually seen as related to gender. This has been observed in very young nonbinary people:

<blockquote>"Not all children fit neatly into a male or female gender identity, [[transgender|trans]] or otherwise. For some children, the sense of being '[[bigender|both]]' or 'neither' best describes their reality. [...] Children who see themselves as 'neither' will often speak of how regardless of whether they're with a group of boys or girls, they feel like they don't fit. This is not necessarily a sad feeling. They just see the kids around them and know that they are not 'that.' Kids in this category often appear androgynous, and will frequently answer the question 'are you a boy or a girl' by saying their name ('I'm Devon') or by identifying themselves as animals. When asked to draw self portraits, they will portray themselves as rainbows, or unicorns, or another symbol of their choosing."</blockquote>

<blockquote>- "Frequently Asked Questions," ''GenderSpectrum.org''
<ref>{{cite web |title=Frequently Asked Questions |publisher=Gender Spectrum |url=https://www.genderspectrum.org/child-family/faq |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140408123152/https://www.genderspectrum.org/child-family/faq |archive-date=8 April 2014}}</ref></blockquote>

These creative methods of describing nonbinary genders come naturally to many nonbinary people. As such, these are an emerging part of nonbinary culture, worthy of exploration and examination. Some common themes of these concepts:

'''Nouns and archetypes:''' Some nonbinary people find it easier to perceive or describe their inner sense of their gender identity by evoking familiar archetypes. Instead of giving references to how their gender relates to maleness and femaleness, they say their gender is-- or is like-- a kind of animal, an imaginary being, a part of nature, an abstract concept, or a symbol. Some nonbinary people describing their gender this way do so because they feel a sense of gender euphoria or some other connection when thinking about an object. Some people have made names for some of these kinds of ''noungenders'', such as [[Xenogender#Astralgender|astralgender]], described below.

'''Aesthetic and synaesthetic perceptions:''' Synaesthesia is an uncommon condition in which people have their senses linked together, so that, say, sounds and words bring up specific colors in their minds. Some nonbinary people find it feels more natural to perceive or describe their inner sense of their gender identity in terms of synaesthesia-like perceptions. For example, texture, size, shape, time, light, sound, or other sensory characteristics that most people don't attribute to gender at all. Some people have made names for some of these kinds of "[[aesthetgender]]s", such as [[Xenogender#Dryagender|dryagender]], described below.

'''Neurodiversity:''' Some nonbinary people have mental variations (mental illnesses, neurological conditions, or neurodivergence). Some who have mental variations see these as an influence on-- or an inseparable part of-- their gender identity. These are called neurogenders, and most of them are not described on this page, but on the [[neurogender]] page.

In the 2020 Worldwide Gender Census, 85 of the responses (0.35%) called themselves "xenogender."<ref name="GC2020">{{cite web |url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1j7mwkZVtQYHxNlgS2J8onVCpVz-l1aJbBzG7msN5rxs/edit#gid=260963482 |title=GC2020 Public Copy |date=1 November 2020 |format=Sheets |language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230603184501/https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1j7mwkZVtQYHxNlgS2J8onVCpVz-l1aJbBzG7msN5rxs/edit |archive-date=17 July 2023 }}</ref> Far more in the census called themselves by specific genders under the xenogender umbrella, though that is hard to quantify or differentiate. Individually, any given xenogender is rare, and many seem to have only been proposed, but never used by anybody.

'''Bigenderflux''' is a multiflux gender where someone experiences two genders that both fluctuate in intensity. This can occur in multiple ways, such as:

* Both genders could increase and decrease in intensity at the same time
* As one gender becomes more intense, the other becomes less intense
* The two genders fluctuate at random, unrelated to each other
* They could be fluid between two genders, and also have those genders fluctuate in intensity.<ref>https://mogai-genders.fandom.com/wiki/Bigenderflux [https://web.archive.org/web/20230101014556/https://mogai-genders.fandom.com/wiki/Bigenderflux Archived] on 17 July 2023</ref> ([[Fluidflux]])

'''Cistrans''' or '''transcis''', sometimes named as '''trancis''' or '''trisgender''', or simply '''tris''', is a broad term for anyone who may identify as both [[cisgender]] and [[transgender]] for whatever reason. This label is mainly used within the [[intersex]] community, but is not an exclusively intersex term. It is a term for anyone who feels they are both cisgender and transgender simultaneously or separately. A very common use of the term is when an intersex person is not perceived as their AGAB due to being intersex.

This term is not related to the TERF propaganda 'biotrans' or the 'transid/transx' equivalent, or related terms created to mock the trans community.

== History ==
One of the possibly first uses of cis-trans was by Tumblr user arco-pluris on April 2018.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20180416132403/https://arco-pluris.tumblr.com/post/172981930697/cis-trans-pride-flag-cis-trans-identifying Diverse Plurality — Cis Trans Pride Flag]</ref><ref>[https://www.deviantart.com/pride-flags/art/Cis-Trans-748736821 Cis Trans by Pride-Flags on DeviantArt]</ref>

The term trisgender and its flag were created by DeviantArt user 67plus-genders on February 3, 2018, suggested by manga-lover3.<ref>https://www.deviantart.com/67plus-genders/art/Trisgender-728937134</ref>

The terms cransgender and trinsgender and their flag were coined by Tumblr user sanrio-kotto on April 5, 2022.<ref>http://archive.today/2022.04.05-090834/https://sanrio-kotto.tumblr.com/post/680652614272221184/trinsgeder-cransgender</ref>

In the 2023 Gender Census, 7 participants identified as cistrans.{{Gender Census|2023}}

== Examples of use ==
Examples of reasons someone may identify as cistrans are:

* An [[intersex]] person whose identity & lived experience does not fall nicely on the cis & trans binary.
* A [[multigender]] person who identifies with both the gender they were assigned and another gender.
* A [[genderfluid]] person who identifies as both cisgender or transgender depending on the point in time.
* A person whose lived experience does not align with cisgender or transgender experience for some other reason.
* A [[varioformic]] person who identifies with their assigned gender.
* A [[gender-nonconforming]] person who may be questioning whether or not they are transgender
* A person who identifies with the [[isogender]], [[absgender]], [[metagender]], or [[cusper]] identities may also identify with cistrans.

'''Varioformic''' is a [[transgender]]-adjacent umbrella term for those to physically alter their body (transition) in uncommon, partial, or otherwise non-standard ways in relation to gender identity. Most of the time, these physical alterations are via [[hormone replacement therapy]], physical training and/or [[surgery|surgeries]]. Varioformic may be used by anybody regardless of [[gender identity]] or [[sexes|sex]]; though most varioformic folk are transgender, [[cisgender]] people who intend to pursue transitional treatments may also use the term while still identifying with the gender they were assigned.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://varioformic.carrd.co/|title=Varioformic identity|website=Carrd|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230318231240/https://varioformic.carrd.co/|archive-date=18 March 2023|access-date=15 July 2023}}</ref>

In the 2023 Gender Census, 2 people identified as varioformic.{{Gender Census|2023}}

== Flag design and meaning ==
Each color does not have it's own specific meaning. The whole flag consists of shades of red as to symbolize the physical flesh, the body, as the identity pertains to a desire to change your physical form. The white stripe in the center symbolizes the neutrality and broadness of the label, as it can be used by anyone, of any identity, cisgender or transgender, perisex or [[intersex]]. The arrow goes from the darker less saturated color to a brighter more saturated color to symbolize the transition to a happier state of being, whilst not fully changing the body, hence it is still a shade of red.

== Etymology ==
The term "Varioformic" comes from the phrase ''Varied form'', or ''variated form'', combining the root word for ''variation'', ''vario'', with the word ''form''.
