Demigender (from demi "half" + "gender") is an umbrella term for nonbinary 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."[1]

Demimeisje

The demigirl flag by Transrants. Pink: female. White: agender or nonbinary gender. Gray: partial.

Een demimeisje (En: demigirl) is iemand die zich gedeeltelijk (niet geheel) identificeert als een meisje of vrouw, ongeacht hun toegewezen geslacht bij de geboorte. Ze kunnen zich ook identificeren als nog een andere gender naast het gevoel een meisje of vrouw te zijn, maar dit hoeft niet. Andere termen zijn demimeid, demivrouwelijk of demivrouw.

Als alternatief kan demimeisje ook worden gebruikt om een persoon die toegewezen vrouw bij de geboorte is en zich nauwelijks verbonden voelt met die identificatie, maar niet ernstig genoeg om echt fysiek ongemak of dysforie te creëren, of voor een persoon die toegewezen man bij de geboorte en transvrouwelijk is maar niet volledig binair-identificerend, zodat ze sterker aangesloten voelen tot vrouwelijk dan mannelijk, sociaal of fysiek, maar niet sterk genoeg om een absolute zelfidentificatie als vrouw te rechtvaardigen.

Demi-jongen

The demiboy flag by Transrants. Blue: male. White: agender or nonbinary gender. Gray: partial.

A demiboy, also called demiguy, is someone whose gender identity is only partly male, regardless of their assigned gender at birth.[2] They may or may not identify as another gender[3] in addition to feeling partially a boy or man. They may also define their identity as both male and genderless (agender).

Alternatively, demiguy can be used to describe someone assigned male at birth who feels but the barest association with that identification, though not a significant enough dissociation to create real physical discomfort or dysphoria, or someone assigned female at birth who is trans masculine but not wholly binary-identified, so that they feel more strongly associated with 'male' than 'female,' socially or physically, but not strongly enough to justify an absolute self-identification as 'man'.

Deminonbinary

The deminonbinary flag by Transrants. Yellow: nonbinary. White: agender or nonbinary gender. Gray: partial.

Deminonbinary, or demienby, is a gender identity for someone who partially identifies as nonbinary.[4]

Demifluid

The Demifluid flag

Demifluid is a gender identity for "someone whose gender is partially fluid (genderfluid) with the other part(s) being static; an example could be: one part of their gender is 'woman' while the part that fluctuates is 'man' and 'genderqueer'."[5] In other terms, one part of the gender is static while the other part changes between genders.

Demiflux

Demiflux flag

Demiflux is a gender identity for "someone whose gender is partially fluid with the other part(s) being static; this differs from 'demifluid' as '-flux' indicates that one of the genders is neutral; an example could be: one part of their gender is 'genderqueer' while the part that fluctuates is 'agender' and 'woman'."[6] In other terms, one part of the gender is static while the other fluctuates in intensity; for example, one part of the gender is 'genderqueer' and the other is 'woman' of fluctuating intensity.
