Proxvir: Difference between revisions

'''Proxvir '''is a masculine gender describing individuals who are "near-male". It is one gender, as opposed to [[Demigender|demiboy]], which is often used to describe a combination of genders (for example, [[agender]] and male, or partially male and partially another gender). Proxvir individuals don't partially identify with other genders, as proxvir is a gender in and of itself.<ref name="gender-resource">{{Cite web|url=https://gender-resource.tumblr.com/post/189770222828/proxvir-juxera-proxangi-juxtaneu-and-nixic|title=Proxvir, Juxera, Proxangi, Juxtaneu and Nixic Identities|website=Gender Resource|access-date=2020-09-05}}</ref>
