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."<ref name="Savage">{{Cite web |title=Demigender Definitions |author=Savage |work=A Safe Place for Demigenders |date=11 November 2014 |access-date=30 April 2020 |url= https://demigenders.tumblr.com/post/102344212344/demigender-definitions}}</ref> </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> ==Demigirl== </div> <!-- ATTENTION EDITORS: [[Demigirl]] redirects to this section.

(It's a thing I do. Pretty much all I do, really.) Last night I was lying in bed and thinking about the kind of stuff everyone else thinks about before they fall asleep: my weird sexual and gender identity. At one point I remembered my fondness of the term "demiromantic" and, chuckling, I said to myself that I can any word relate to me if I just stick a "demi-" in front of it. And then I realised that it might actually help me find a word for my gender identity. I've felt for some time that I may have too much of the masculine element in me to call myself agender and feel good about it — so maybe it would be a nice idea to call myself a demiguy. Demidude. Demibloke. Just not demiman, tyvm, because I only accept being called a man when you're talking about my body and not mind, and even then I prefer adjectives like "masculine" or "male" to that dreaded noun. Now, I'm not being entirely serious here, as I'm not going to go around calling myself a demibloke and I don't think I'll ever find a term that fully describes me anyway — and if I do, my identity will probably change just to spite me — but I kind of like those words and feel that they may actually describe me quite well. I'm not sure. But then again, I'm never sure of anything related to myself. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Signed, </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Bad Patient the Demiyada </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> PS The elitist douche in me likes describing himself with terms that are likely used by no-one else. <ref>https://www.asexuality.org/en/topic/52633-transwhatevers-of-aven/page/20/?tab=comments#comment-1615634</ref></blockquote> </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> In December of that year, a different user in that forum, seeking more information, wrote<ref>https://www.asexuality.org/en/topic/52633-transwhatevers-of-aven/page/728/?tab=comments#comment-1733093></ref> that the only place they could find a description of the term "demigirl" was on the yada wiki.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20110415202533/http://yada.wikia.com:80/wiki/Demigirl</ref> In response, user A Long Time Ago posted </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> <blockquote> As far as I know, that and demiguy are terms made up by the yadas, so there is no additional information on it.
