Genderfaun, sometimes spelt genderfawn, (or called gendermars[citation needed]) is a term for a type of gender identity which is fluid between multiple genders, but never female nor feminine nor female-aligned genders, unless said gender is also male-aligned.
History[edit | edit source]
The term Gendermars was coined in 2016 or possibly earlier, as the tumblr blog mogai-lexicon posted about it on 20 February of that year, but did not indicate whether it was a new coining at that time.[1] In May 2017, Genderfaun was coined by tumblr user shadowofthedude, who stated it would be a synonym of gendermars and a complementary term to genderfae.[2]
Demographics[edit | edit source]
In the 2019 Worldwide Gender Census, eleven respondents were genderfaun.[3] In the 2020 Gender Census, 50 respondents (0.203% of all respondents) reported they were genderfaun.[4]
