Neogirl is a gender with a strong (strength of connection may vary) connection to femininity, but in a way that's largely different from how women are connected to femininity. Neogirl is a non-binary identity that is mostly separate from being a woman, though it can be described as a gender that is feminine-aligned, neutral-aligned, fingender, and/or fiaspec.
The masculine equivalent is Neoboy.
People who identify with Neogirl may identify with it because:
- They (befitting the name) feel like a "new" kind or type of woman.
- They feel like they're a woman and connected to femininity (partially or entirely) but in a "different" way.
- They feel like a woman outside of the gender binary.
People who identify with Neogirl will also generally feel neutral-aligned in some way or in some extent as well as being feminine-aligned but this isn't always the case.
History
The terms Neogirl and Neoboy were coined by twitter user erikaispanlol in November of 2020, with the flags for them both being created the same day. [1]
Flag
In the Neogirl flag, the white represents for transition of gender and confusion of gender, pink for femininity, purple for every gender within the binary that isn't exclusively male or female, and with black representing every gender outside the binary. [2]
