Girlby

Girlby, also known as galby, and womanby, rarely known as engirl or womenby, is a term for someone who is a non-binary woman. It can be used by anyone who identifies as both a girl and as non-binary, multigender individuals with a non-binary gender and female, gendervast individuals, those who are genderfluid or genderflux between non-binary and female, lunarian individuals, and neugirls/neuwomen. It may also be used by parafluid/parafluix individuals whose non-fluid gender is girl or related to femininity.

It is similar to xirl. Its masculine counterpart is enboy.

History and Flag

The term was created by Tumblr user portugayse on May 31, 2018.^[1] The first girlby flag was created by Tumblr use beyond-mogai-pride-flags on August 9, 2018.^[2] On August 15, 2018, beyond-mogai-pride-flags created an alternate girlby flag.^[3]

On January 23, 2019, Reddit user technobaboo created the girlby-centered subreddit r/Femby.^[4] On August 26, 2020, Reddit user scientific-communist created a femby flag based on the colors of the lesbian flag.^[5] Reddit user Hotdog1352 created an alternate femby flag on February 3, 2021.^[6]

Discord user Accidental-Therapist created an alternate girlby flag. The flags colors are meant to mimic the agender flag's layout, having a yellow stripe in the center for non-binary representation, while pink is the color associated with feminity. From top to bottom; The darker pink is for those that Identify as partially Women/Female/BinaryWoman. The lighter pink is for those that identify with Femininity or Girlhood- not necessarily in a Cisgender or Binary way. The yellow stripe is for Nonbinary, as many variations of that there are; ranging from Agender to Neutrois to Xenogenders, anything non-binary is welcome with the Yellow. The white is the disconnect, or possible 'wiggle room' around the Nonbinary Yellow stripe, seeing as sometimes Girlby is part of Genderfluidity or a possible fusion of Demigenders.

Demigirlby

Tumblr user imoga-pride coined the term demigirlby, also known as demigalby and demiwomanby, and created a flag for it on November 30, 2018.^[7]

A demigirlby person is someone who is partially, but not entirely an girlby or non-binary woman. This may include a multigender individual who is both demigirl and deminonbinary, a monogender individual who feels their gender is a fusion of demigirl and deminonbinary, someone whose gender is some percent girl and some percent non-binary, someone whose gender has demigender components, or a genderfluid individual who is fluid between demigirl and deminonbinary.

An alternate demigirlby flag was created by FANDOM user Reign of the Breadsticcs on March 25, 2021.
