'''Demigender''' (from ''demi'' "half" + "gender") is an [[umbrella term]] for [[nonbinary]] [[gender identity|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."<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> | '''Demigender''' (from ''demi'' "half" + "gender") is an [[umbrella term]] for [[nonbinary]] [[gender identity|gender identities]] that have a partial connection to a certain gender.

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'."<ref name="Savage"/> 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. | 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'."<ref name="Savage"/> 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. | ||
