'''Proxvir '''is a masculine gender describing individuals who are "near-male". It is one gender, as opposed to [[Demigender|demiboy]], which is often used to describe a combination of genders (for example, [[agender]] and male, or partially male and partially another gender). Proxvir individuals don't partially identify with other genders, as proxvir is a gender in and of itself.<ref name="gender-resource">{{Cite web|url=https://gender-resource.tumblr.com/post/189770222828/proxvir-juxera-proxangi-juxtaneu-and-nixic|title=Proxvir, Juxera, Proxangi, Juxtaneu and Nixic Identities|website=Gender Resource|access-date=2020-09-05|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230525005947/https://gender-resource.tumblr.com/post/189770222828/proxvir-juxera-proxangi-juxtaneu-and-nixic|archive-date=17 July 2023}}</ref>

Because proxvir is a whole gender, proxvir individuals may also identify as thirdgender. Proxvir is meant to be used as an adjective (ex. "I am Proxvir", not "I am ''a'' Proxvir").

In the 2019 Gender Census, 0.1% of participants identified with proxvir.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://gendercensus.com/post/183832246805/gender-census-2019-the-full-report-worldwide|title=Gender Census 2019 - The Full Report (Worldwide)|website=Gender Census|access-date=2020-09-05|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230505214027/https://www.gendercensus.com/post/183832246805/gender-census-2019-the-full-report-worldwide|archive-date=17 July 2023}}</ref> In the 2020 Gender Census, 22 respondents (0.09%) were proxvir.<ref name="GC2020">[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1j7mwkZVtQYHxNlgS2J8onVCpVz-l1aJbBzG7msN5rxs/edit#gid=260963482 GC2020 Public Copy], 1 November 2020 [https://web.archive.org/web/20230603184501/https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1j7mwkZVtQYHxNlgS2J8onVCpVz-l1aJbBzG7msN5rxs/edit Archived] on 17 July 2023</ref>

== Origin ==

The term and original flag was coined by Tumblr user wulfgendur,<ref name="wulfgendur-proxvir">{{Cite web|url=https://wulfgendur.tumblr.com/post/90527821124/hello-friends-here-are-some-new-gender-terms|title=hello friends, here are some new gender terms|website=incoherent barking ''(blog)''|language=en|access-date=2020-09-05|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230603024139/https://wulfgendur.tumblr.com/post/90527821124/hello-friends-here-are-some-new-gender-terms|archive-date=17 July 2023}}</ref> also known as Ren (he/him, xe/xem), who also coined the term [[juxera]], the "near-female" counterpart of proxvir.<ref name="wulfgendur-proxvir" />

Proxvir was created from the Latin adjective for "near", ''proximus'', and masculine Latin noun ''vir''.<ref name="gender-resource"/>

There is an alternative flag consisting of blues and greens, however it is unknown who made this variation.
