Menby, minenby, mascby, or minby, is a gender identity for those who identify with a masculine gender and are also non-binary. It is not to be confused with non-binary man and enboy, because menby is disconnected from manhood, it is only masculine-aligned.
Menbies may fluctuate between a masculine identity and any non-binary identity, or they may identify as both simultaneously, as if it is a combination or two identities. The masculine and non-binary genders may be fused together into one gender.
This can also be used as a term to describe non-binary individuals with a masculine gender presentation, regardless of whether or not their gender itself is masculine.
The feminine counterpart is fenby.
History & Etymology
Menby was coined by FANDOM user Unfunny person420 (as a masculine counterpart to fenby) on March 14, 2021. The flag was created on the same day by the same person. "Menby" is a combination of "men" and "enby".
Someone registered the word mascby in 2020.[1]
The term "menbies" was commonly used before as a disparaging slang targeting enbies who were AMAB. Some may reclaim it as a self-identifier in that sense.[2][3]
