Demigender is a group of genders, in which one is partially, but not fully a given gender. It can also be for people who feel the barest connections to a gender, but not enough to fully identify as that gender. Demigender people may identify as another gender, in combination with demigender. Demigender can also be an identity in itself, for people who feel a partial connection to the concept of gender in general. Demigender people often identify as non-binary and may also identify as transgender.
Being demigender does not necessarily mean that one is partially a given gender and partially agender. One can be, for example, a demiboy and a demigirl at the same time, meaning part of one's gender is boy and the other part is a girl. The "other part" of one's gender can be any gender or combination of genders.
Similar genders include libragender and paragender. The opposite of demigender is hypergender.
