'''Femmegender''', or '''femgender''', is a nonbinary gender identity that is feminine in nature. It comes from the queer term "[[femme]]", which means a person who subverts and/or queers [[femininity]]. The term is popular in [[lesbian]] and [[sapphic]] communities. Femmegender can denote a person whose gender identity is tied to their femmeness. For a person who does not identify as femme, but still feels like their femininity is a part of their gender, the spelling femgender can be used.

==History==
Femmegender has been coined in multiple instances by different people over time. An early coining of femmegender was posted by tumblr user queerfucker in July 2014. They defined it as "identifying with femininity, femme, and girlhood, but also not a girl; nonbinary with a core and foundation of enduring femme".<ref>{{cite web|title=femmegender|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140823034501/https://queerfucker.tumblr.com/post/92069054803/femmegender-identifying-with-femininity-femme|archive-date=23 August 2014|date=2014|url=https://queerfucker.tumblr.com/post/92069054803/femmegender-identifying-with-femininity-femme}}</ref>

In August 2014 the Tumblr user queernoctis created flag ideas for femmegender:<ref>[https://queernoctis.tumblr.com/post/93713712129/some-ideas-for-a-femmegender-flag-purple-is-a Tumblr post], 3 August 2014 [https://web.archive.org/web/20230605214625/https://queernoctis.tumblr.com/post/93713712129/some-ideas-for-a-femmegender-flag-purple-is-a Archived] on 17 July 2023</ref>
 
{{quote|Purple is a feminine color, but doesn't have the same GIRL connotations that pink does. The fade out of shades from dark to light is meant to represent the variations in gender while still associating with the core/foundation of femme.
 
The mint/green are meant to represent the sort of 'absence' of a binary gender/being a girl, as well as give a bit of variety of color for those that dont like the plain purple+white design.}}

An alternative meaning of femmegender was coined in 2019 by a nonbinary [[lesbian]] named Red. Red's definition of femmegender is "where you have [[Multigender|two or more genders]] where they are ALL feminine genders!"<ref>[https://mogai-on-the-internet.tumblr.com/post/187036794620/femmegender-flag-femmegender-is-where-you-have Femmegender flag!] by Red, 15 August 2019 [https://web.archive.org/web/20230607023336/https://mogai-on-the-internet.tumblr.com/post/187036794620/femmegender-flag-femmegender-is-where-you-have Archived] on 17 July 2023</ref>

The stripes' meanings are as follows: Purple - femme identity and unique gender presentation; Yellow - relationship to gender experienced through lesbian identity; White - experiences of gender outside the binary; Orange - Solidarity and community with butches]]
In 2020, a nonbinary [[butch]] lesbian named Gordon defined their own coinage of butchgender and femmegender as [[xenogender]]s "for butch and femme lesbians who feel like their gender either is, or is heavily influenced by their butch or femme identity".<ref>{{cite tweet |user=imthatgremlin |number=1281079859737882624 |title=i came up with some xenogenders for lesbians [orange heart emoji] butchgender and femmegender, for butch and femme lesbians who feel like their gender either is, or is heavily influenced by their butch or femme identity / here are the flags i made, and their meanings! |date=8 July 2020}}</ref>
