'''Demiboy''' (also known as '''Demiman''', '''Demimale''', '''Demiguy''', '''Demilad''', '''Demidude,''' or '''Demibloke''') is a [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] gender in which one is partially, but not fully, a boy or [[man]]. They may or may not identify as another gender in addition to being partially a boy. The other part of one's gender can be any gender or combination of genders, including a [[Agender|lack of gender]].
Line 8 ⟶ 12:
The female-aligned counterpart is [[demigirl]], which describes those who feel partly like a girl but not entirely. There is also a non-binary equivalent called [[deminonbinary]] and a [[Neutrois|neutral]] equivalent called [[demineutrois]]. There are also [[Demiagender|demiagenders]] which describe those who feel partly agender and partly another gender (usually a non masc, fem, or neutral gender, eg. partly [[aporagender]]).
== History ==
On August 12, 2010, user Bad Patient of AVEN made a post saying:<blockquote>''"...I said to myself that I can any word relate to me if I just stick a "demi-" in front of it. And then I realised that it might actually help me find a word for my gender identity. I've felt for some time that I may have too much of the masculine element in me to call myself agender and feel good about it — so maybe it would be a nice idea to call myself a demiguy. Demidude. Demibloke..."<ref>https://www.asexuality.org/en/topic/52633-transwhatevers-of-aven/page/20/?tab=comments#comment-1615634</ref>''</blockquote>This was possibly the first recorded instance of someone using demi- to describe their gender. Though, Bad Patient goes on to say it isn't completely serious.
