Proxvir is a masculine gender describing individuals who are "near-male". It is one gender, as opposed to 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.[1]
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.[2] In the 2020 Gender Census, 22 respondents (0.09%) were proxvir.[3]
Origin[edit | edit source]

Proxvir was created from the Latin adjective for "near", proximus, and masculine Latin noun vir.[1]
There is an alternative flag consisting of blues and greens, however it is unknown who made this variation.
