'''Genderfae''', also known as '''genderdoe'''<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CDEH3DtBr5H/?igshid=1s8ifwcrrhtqu</ref> or '''genderthil''', is a form of [[Genderfluid|genderfluidity]] that never encompasses [[Man|male]] or [[masculine]] [[Gender|genders]]. Genderfae people can be fluid between any range of [[feminine]] genders, [[Abinary|unaligned]] genders (such as [[aporagender]]), or [[Agender|genderlessness]], but never masculine genders. Genderfae is sometimes considered a non-masculine subset of [[fluidflux]].

The alternative terms ''genderdoe'' and ''genderthil'' have been coined for those who do not want to use "fae".

The masculine complement to genderfae is [[genderfaun]].

Variants of genderfae include:

* [[Genderfaer]]: Never a binary man, but can experience masculine genders.

*[[Demifae]]: Part of one's identity is genderfae, the other is not.

A term within the genderfae umbrella is [[Genderselkie|genderselkie,]] where the nonbinary genders experienced are often xenic.

'''Demifae''' is a gender which is partially static and partially fluid. The fluid part of the gender fluctuates between identities which are not male, male-aligned, or masculine. The static part of the gender is undefined, and can be anything, so it varies from individual to individual.

The term was supposedly coined anonymously in 2014, on the now defunct blog "mogai-archive". The genderfae flag was designed by the users Pride-Flags and Superpopcorn101 on Deviantart on January 9, 2017<ref>https://www.deviantart.com/pride-flags/art/Genderfae-656301909</ref>. The colours don't have individual meanings, but the range purposefully doesn't include blue to indicate never including masculine genders. A pastel colour scheme was used to give the flag a more "fae" feeling.<ref>https://www.deviantart.com/pride-flags/art/Genderfae-656301909</ref>
