A '''demigirl''' (also called a ''demiwoman'', ''demifemale'' or a ''demilady'' person) is a [[gender identity|''gender identity'']] describing someone who partially identifies as a [[woman|''woman'']] or ''girl'', regardless their [[assigned gender|''assigned gender'']] at birth. In addition to feeling partially like a ''girl'' or ''woman'', ''demigirls'' also feel partly outside the binary. That can include anything under the [[Non-binary|''non-binary umbrella'']] like [[agender|''agender'']], [[genderqueer|''genderqueer'']], or [[Xenogender|''xenogenders'']] for example.

A '''demigirl''' (also called a demiwoman, demilady or a demifemale person) is a [[gender identity]] describing someone who partially, but not fully, identifies as a [[woman]] or girl, whatever their [[assigned gender]] at birth. They may or may not identify as any other gender in addition to feeling partially a girl or woman.

'''demifem''' (Also called demifemme or demifeminine [https://ezgender.fandom.com/wiki/Demifeminine]) Is another term for demigirls who don’t feel comfortable with having a gendered term (female, woman, girl; etc.) in their gender label, possibly from being agender, but it doesn’t have to be.

''Demigirls'' may also identify as [[demigender|''demigender'']], [[non-binary|''non-binary'']] and/or [[transgender|''transgender'']]. The original coiner of the phrases ''demigirl'' and ''[[demiboy]]'' is unknown.
Demigirl can be used by any AFAB, AMAB or AXAB individual. One may feel more or less like a girl; it varies from person to person. Some demigirls may experience physical discomfort or dysphoria.

The male equivalent to demigirl is demiboy, the non-binary equivalent is deminonbinary, and the neutral equivalent is demineutrois. There are also demiagenders which are people who feel partly agender and partly another gender (usually a non masc, fem or neutral gender, example: partly aporagender). Demigirl can also describe someone [[AMAB|assigned male at birth]] who is [[transfeminine]] but not wholly [[Gender Binary|binary-identified]], so that they feel more strongly associated with "female" than "male," socially or physically, but not strongly enough to want to identify as a woman. Demigirls may also identify as [[demigender]], [[non-binary]] and/or [[transgender]].

Demigirl flag by transrants.[1]

A demigirl (also called a demiwoman, demifemale or a demilady person) is a gender identity describing someone who partially identifies as a woman or girl, regardless their assigned gender at birth. In addition to feeling partially like a girl or woman, demigirls also feel partly outside the binary. That can include anything under the non-binary umbrella like agender, genderqueer, or xenogenders for example.

The superset of demigirl is demifemme. Originally made as an alternative made for those who do not like using the gendered term girl.

Demigirls may also identify as demigender, non-binary and/or transgender. The original coiner of the phrases demigirl and demiboy is unknown.

History

The first known mention of demigirl was on December 2010 by a user named bristrek87. They asked on the site AVEN about the term demigirl and was looking for information, but could only find a little bit that was from the Yada Wiki.[2]

In response, the user Am I Human claimed that the people who worked on the wikis for demigenders had been coined there. But no exact dates can be found, and the definition is slightly different to the most common definition used today. The given definition is "...either someone AFAB who feels the barest association with womanhood or an non-binary AMAB person who is transfeminine, and feels a vague association with femininity".

"Demigirl" and "Demiguy" were added to the AVEN Gender Definitions Masterlist on December 12, 2010.[3]

By October 14, 2011, "demigirl" and "demiguy" had been added to the Genderqueer Identities & Terminology page of the popular blog Genderqueerid.[4]

The blog owner, Marilyn Roxie, had collected data for a survey of genderqueer people that year, (September 15 - October 15) and added demigirl and demiboy as options. Seven people selected "demigirl", and nine people selected "demiboy".[5]

This lead to an increase in awareness and by early 2014 the prefix demi- was commonly known in relation to genders. At an some point between October 2011 and 2014 the common definition of demigirl shifted from the previously stated definition to "someone who is partially a girl".
