Demifemme is a superset of demigirl. It describes someone who partially identifies as a woman/girl or whose gender is partly feminine in nature. In addition to feeling that way, demifemmes also feel partly outside the binary. That can include anything under the non-binary umbrella like agender, genderqueer, or xenogenders for example.
Demifemme was created for those who don’t feel comfortable with having a gendered term like female, woman, girl, etc. in their gender label.
Unlike demigirl, demifemme can fall under either the fingender umbrella or the fiaspec umbrella depending in the person. Demifemme can be used by any AFAB, AMAB or AIAB individuals. Demifemmes may also identify as demigender, non-binary and/or transgender.
Demifemme works as an umbrella term for demigirl, demifem, and demifeminine (some of which share a similar name but are not the same).
History[]
Demifemme's first coinage was back in October 2nd 2018 by shewhowalkswiththee on Tumblr along with a flag.[2] Then demifemme was coined again by eww_gingers on Reddit sometime around July of 2021. In both cases, it was created because some of those who related to being a demigirl felt uncomfortable with said term, hence why anew was born.[3]
Not long after eww_gingers's recoinage, the r/IRLDemifemme subreddit was born.[4]
The original demifemme flags were made by eww_gingers but uploaded by Loving-intellectual on Reddit in early of August 2021.[1]
