Introduction
This page describes a gender identity under the demigender umbrella, which is under the nonbinary umbrella.
General Information
Identifying partially, but not entirely, as a girl/woman. Someone who identifies as a demigirl may describe themself as only having a partial connection to being a girl. She may also describe themself as both female and agender or genderless.
While it is most common for demigirls to use the pronoun she alongside a gender neutral pronoun, this is not always the case.
The earliest known usage of the term "demigirl" originates from a comment written by user bristrek87 in December of 2010 on the website asexuality.org in the forum "TransWhatevers of AVEN". This user was looking for additional explanations of the word. The original usage that bristrek87 was referencing has been lost to time.
The prefix "demi-" means half or partially, and comes from the old French word "demi" meaning "half." This prefix combined with the word "girl" or "woman" means "half girl" or "half woman." June 21st is demigirl pride day.
