Qirl is a [[gender identity]] for black [[transgender]] [[nonbinary]] people. A self-identified qirl called vmerli described it as "A black identity similar to girl but separate from the white/western gender binary."<ref>http://vmerli.tumblr.com/post/120861258933/gender-identities-i-thought-more-people-should</ref> Vmerli drew inspiration for the term from African American Vernacular English (AAVE). It is similar to the [[boi]] identity. Transgender people who use the term to refer to themselves use pronouns of any kind, regardless of gender. People who tend to use 'qirl' as a gender identity in itself are usually nonbinary girls or feminine. | Qirl is a [[gender identity]] for black [[transgender]] [[nonbinary]] people.

Feminine nonbinary people who aren't black shouldn't call themselves qirls, and instead should think about other identity labels for themselves, such as [[demigirl]] or [[femme]]. | Feminine nonbinary people who aren't black shouldn't call themselves qirls, and instead should think about other identity labels for themselves, such as [[demigirl]] or [[femme]]. | ||
