Talk:Qirl

• Is there any difference between this and demigirl?
• Why do we need to bring race into gender identity?

@Otvm: this is one of the "grey areas" of acceptance... if the article exists (and it has a link to an external page), it means that somebody uses it. Maybe it doesn't "deserve" its own article, what about putting its content inside a sub-section of demigirl? --NeoMahler (talk) 17:30, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

I would be careful about policing cultural specific identities without input from people who are closely associated with this identity. I don't see harm in keeping the article, and I can see the potential for harm in removing or merging it into a article for a non-cultural specific (ie: western) gender.

Can we have a pronunciation guide for this word?

I assume it's pronounced like girl but with a k sound instead of the g("Kirl"). Cheers. --NeoMahler (talk) 19:04, 26 June 2018 (UTC)

Re: proposed deletion

I did find some evidence of this identity being used by people other than the coiner: https://ask-pride-color-schemes.tumblr.com/post/157464592584/so-i-guess-just-to-make-sure-you-know-im-black ("So I guess just to make sure you know, I’m black, I ID as Qirl, and I have friends who identify as Qirl, Boi, or both.") --TXJ (talk) 15:36, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
