Have you ever felt like the labels just don't quite fit? That your sense of self exists somewhere in the nuanced spaces between the binary? Perhaps you, or someone you know, identifies as a demiboy, a gender identity that's gaining increasing visibility and understanding.
The term "demiboy" describes an individual whose gender identity is partially male, but not entirely so. It's a demigender identity, where the prefix "demi" indicates a partial connection. This means a demiboy might feel a connection to masculinity or being a boy, but that connection doesn't encompass their entire sense of self. The other part of their gender identity can be any other gender, a combination of genders, or even a lack of gender altogether. Some demiboys may also use terms like demiguy, demiman, demimale, or demidude.
