Demigirlflux is a combination of demigirl and girlflux. It is a term for when one's experience of gender includes a connection to femaleness but one's gender also fluctuates. At their most female, a demigirlflux person feels like a demigirl. At their least female, they may feel like other genders or agender.
The term may also be be interpreted as someone who is partially, but not fully, girlflux.
Its male counterpart is demiboyflux. Its neutral counterpart is demigenderflux.
History and Flag
The first known use of the term is by Tumblr user goodpositivitylgbt on January 24, 2017.[1] The first demigirlflux flag was created by Tumblr user starrbar on October 1, 2017.[2] The dark grey on the demigirlflux flag represents whatever other gender or lack thereof demigirlflux people may feel along with female, the gray represents agender experiences of gender, and the yellow represents non-binary experiences. The colors are slightly muted because demigirls are never fully female.
The current demigirlflux flag was created by TikTok user Vampiirekid sometime between April and September 2020.[3][4]
An alternate demigirlflux flag was created by Tumblr user flagify on October 8, 2020 at the request of an anon.[5] Another alternate demigirlflux flag was created by Tumblr user orientationgender on December 20, 2020.[6]
On April 10, 2021, FANDOM user Shadowfaunet created the demigirlflux symbol.
Hemigirlflux
Hemigirlflux is a specific term for demigirlflux people who fluctuate between feeling zero and fifty percent girlflux. The closest they can be to girlflux is demigirlflux, and the furthest they can be is agender. While specifically a hemigender, hemigirlflux is a variation of demigirlflux.
The term was coined by FANDOM user AkoiFish on September 16, 2020.[7] The flag was created a day later.
