    Birl is an identity often considered as a nonbinary gender.[1][2] The word is made by mixing the words "boy" and "girl".

    The term has multiple and overlapping definitions:

    In the 2018 Gender Census, one respondent identified themself as a birl.[6] There was also one birl among the respondents of the 2019 Gender Census.

    Further reading

    • The 2007 book Queer Girls and Popular Culture: Reading, Resisting, and Creating Media (by Susan Driver) includes a chapter detailing online birl communities.
