Genderfae
Genderfae is a term for a type of gender identity which is fluid between multiple genders, but never male or masculine genders.[1] Genderfae was coined by an anonymous submission to the MOGAI-Archive blog in 2014.[2]
Some have claimed that the term "genderfae" is disrespectful to cultures/religions which revere fae/faeries. An alternative term "genderdoe" was proposed for those who wish to avoid misusing "fae".[3] Another alternative term is "genderthil".[1]
Demographics
In the 2019 Worldwide Gender Census, twelve respondents were genderfae.[4] In the 2020 Gender Census, 53 respondents (0.21% of total respondents) were genderfae.[5]
