This page is about a gender identity that is not widely used among gender-variant people. This does not mean that the identity is not valid, but that very few people are known to use this term. More information on uncommon identities... |
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]
Origin
The term and original flag was coined by Tumblr user wulfgendur,[3] also known as Ren (he/him, xe/xem), who also coined the term juxera, the opposite of proxvir.[3]
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.
