'''Demigender''' (from ''demi'' "half" + "gender") is an [[umbrella term]] for [[nonbinary]] [[gender identity|gender identities]] that have a partial connection to a certain gender. This includes the partly [[female]] identity '''demigirl,''' and the partly [[male]] identity '''demiboy'''. There are other partial genders using the "demi-" prefix for the same reasons. For example, '''deminonbinary''', '''demifluid''', '''demiflux''', and so on. Like nonbinary, '''demigender''' is also an identity within itself, for people who feel connection to the concept of gender rather than certain genders. Being a demigender "is not dependent on how much (as in percentage) someone identities as one gender; it solely depends on if a person identifies as partially. For some, they may identify with two or more genders while others may not."<ref name="Savage">{{Cite web |title=Demigender Definitions |author=Savage |work=A Safe Place for Demigenders |date=11 November 2014 |access-date=30 April 2020 |url= https://demigenders.tumblr.com/post/102344212344/demigender-definitions}}</ref>

In 2015, tumblr user transrants created "demigirl & demiguy flag proposals" which would go on to become the standard flags for these identities. User druxydeity created the deminonbinary flag following the same pattern.<ref>https://heterosexualisnotadefault.tumblr.com/post/627494343816724480/druxydeity-transrants-demigirl-demiguy-flag</ref>

In 2021, a person going by the online handle Bluebolt712 created Demigenders Awareness and Pride Day, to be celebrated on the 15th of December.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.instagram.com/p/CXgI9g6umH1/ |author=Bluebolt712 |date= 15 December 2021|access-date=15 December 2021 |title=(Post 1/4) Today is Demigenders Awareness and Pride Day.
