Demigender

(also: deminonbinary)

Table of Contents

Introduction

There are numerous nonbinary gender identities that people can identify as. Demigenders are somewhat common nonbinary identities. The idea of a demigender was first introduced in 2010. Not everyone who identifies as the same demigender will use the same pronouns as each other, or display the same gender presentation.

Demigender

Identifying partially, but not entirely, as having a gender. While demigender is an umbrella term (including genders such as demiboy and demigirl) it can also be used on its own as a gender identity. Someone who identifies as demigender may describe themself as only having a partial connection to having a gender. The undefined portion of a deminonbinary person's gender identity may be genderless, or another gender.

Some additional subgenders of demigender include those such as demiagender (identifiying partially as agender), demifluid (identifying partially as genderfluid), demineutrois (identifying partially as neutrois), demiandrogyne (identifying partially as androgyne), etc. Any nonbinary identity can have a "demi" variant.

The prefix "demi-" means half or partially, and comes from the old French word "demi" meaning "half." This prefix combined with the word "gender" or "nonbinary" means "half a gender" or "half nonbinary."

Demigender Pride Flag

The demigender flag was created in 2014 by tumblr user druxydiety. The flag has seven stripes and is symmetrical in color. June 15th is demigender pride day.

The grey stripes in the demigender flag represent the experience of partial identification with a specific gender.

The yellow stripes in the demigender flag represent the spectrum of nonbinary and genderqueer identities and individuals.

The white stripe in the demigender flag represents the absence of gender, and the spectrum of agender identities. The white stripe also represents the diversity among those who identify as demigender.

Graygender

Someone who identifies as graygender has a weak connection to gender. This is not technically a demigender. Due to the similarities between graygender and demigenders, I am putting this on this page.
