Neoboy is a gender with a connection to masculinity, but in a way that's largely different from how most boys/men are connected to masculinity. Neoboy is a non-binary identity that is mostly separate from being male, though it can be described as a gender that is masculine-aligned, neutral-aligned, mingender, and/or miaspec.
Individuals who identify with neoboy may identify with the term because:
- They feel like a "new" kind or type of boy/man.
- They feel like they're male and connected to masculinity (partially or entirely) but in a "different" way.
- They feel like a boy, but outside of the gender binary.
Individuals who identify with neoboy will also generally feel neutral-aligned in some way or in some extent as well as being masculine-aligned but this isn't always the case.
The feminine equivalent is neogirl.
