'''Boyprox''' or '''Boy-Proximal''' ( also known as '''Man-Proximal''' or '''Mprox''') is a term with many possible
"Boyhood" is a large concept that is hard to define, but it is typically an experience that comes from being seen as male by society. Some examples of boyhood include, but are not limited to:
* A connection to masculinity.
* A connection to men, regardless of actual gender identity.
* A sense of belonging in men’s spaces.
* A masculine gender presentation.
* Being [[AMAB|assigned male at birth]] and holding that significant to one’s identity.
* Holding male-assigned experiences significant to one and one's life (ex: boy scouts, attending an all-boys school).
* Identifying, at least partially or sometimes, as a male. This is not required for boyhood, but often accompanies it.
Boyprox was created as the male equivalent of [[girlprox]]. The [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] equivalent is [[enbyprox]]. The [[bigender]] equivalent is [[bigenderprox]].
