the demigirl flag
Demigirl, also known as demidudette, demifemale, demigal, or demiwoman, is a gender in which one is partially, but not fully, a girl or woman. They may or may not identify as another gender in addition to being partially a girl. The other part of one's gender can be any gender or combination of genders, including a lack of gender (agender). Demigender people may also identify as non-binary.
The male equivalent to demigirl is demiboy, the non-binary equivalent is deminonbinary, and the neutrois equivalent is demineutrois.
History[]
On August 12, 2010, user Bad Patient of AVEN made a post saying, "...I said to myself that I can any word relate to me if I just stick a "demi-" in front of it. And then I [realized] that it might actually help me find a word for my gender identity." This was possibly the first recorded instance of someone using demi- to describe their gender, though Bad Patient goes on to say it isn't completely serious.
In December of that year, a different user in that forum, seeking more information, wrote that the only place they could find a description of the term "demigirl" was on the yada wiki.[1][2] In response, another user claimed that the term was 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 being "...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] This lead to an increase in awareness of these identities and by early 2014 the prefix demi- was commonly known in relation to genders. At an unknown point between October 2011 and 2014 the common definition of demigirl shifted from the previously stated definition to "someone who is partially a woman".
Flag[]
The demigirl flag was created by Tumblr user Transrants on or before July 4, 2015.[4] There is no confirmed color meanings, but it is commonly assumed that the greys represent a partial connection and the grey areas, the pink represents womanhood or femininity, and the white represents agender or non-binary identity.
The demigirl symbol was designed on October 2, 2014.[5] It is the female/Venus symbol with half of the extending cross removed
