    Proxvir

    Proxvir is a masculine gender describing individuals who are "near-male". It is one gender, as opposed to Demiboy which is often used to describe a combination of genders (for example, Agender and male, or partially male and partially another gender). Proxvir individuals are not partially made up of other genders, as Proxvir is a gender in and of itself.[1]

    Because Proxvir is a whole gender, Proxvir individuals may also identify as Thirdgender. Proxvir is meant to be used as an adjective (ex. "I am Proxvir", not "I am a Proxvir").

    In the 2019 Gender Census, 0.1% of participants identified with proxvir.[2]

    Origin

    The term and original flag was coined by Tumblr user wulfgendur,[3] also known as Ren (he/him, xe/xem), who also coined the term Juxera, the opposite of Proxvir.[4]

    Proxvir was created from the Latin adjective for "near", proximus, and masculine Latin noun vir.[1]

    There is an alternative flag consisting of blues and greens, however it is unknown who made this variation.
