Demigirl? ❌ Demiboy? ❌ *Demigod?* ✅

I've flirted with the idea of being both woman and non-binary off and on. At this point, I'm pretty happy with just identifying as a woman, but my demigals definitely need more acknowledgement.

I hadn’t heard this term before but it really puts a lot of my feelings into more focus and perspective. Feels like when I learned about asexuality for the first time and things suddenly clicked lol.

Yes to all 5! I used to think I was cis because I have no issues w my assigned gender, yet there are also feelings like “This isn’t all there is.” Esp since there are days I feel not woman, not man, but something else

At 46 this is an amazing age to find a named gender term that super matches me. Finding out there's a word for my inner self's gender, "Demiwoman" (since I am no longer a girl), really actually helps me to be more comfortable with both my woman-ness and my NB-ness. I kinda wasn't expecting that, like finding out I'm a demi-woman helps me more lovingly accept my woman self. And my shiny egg-emerging NB self. Overall I just feel more peace having found this term and switching to using two sets of pronouns (she/her, they/them.)

Thank you for this video! I’m wondering how we can tell the difference between feeling uncomfortable with gender expectations because they are misogynistic/sexist vs being a demigirl. This is something I’ve been wrestling with for like a year lol

My 11 year old daughter has been struggling for the past year or so with how she identifies herself. Last night she told my wife and I that she now identifies as a Demigirl, so today I’ve been doing a little research so I can try to better understand her feelings. I still need to do a lot more, but this video has helped me to start!

Thanks! I'm not a demigirl but this helped me realize demiboy fits my gender better. I was so confused about why I sometimes hate being male but sometimes I don't, or why I felt connected to being amab to the point where sometimes I forgot about being nonbinary.

Hello!! She/They demigirl here. I've never heard of some of these signs of being a demigirl, but I just think this video just adds to the fact that I'm a demigirl. I definitely relate to pretty much all of these and I think I'm set for my gender for now. Thank you for sharing about this because it's a pretty unheard of gender identity and I love it, it may not be perfect but I think it's pretty good!!

yes, i was so confused, i like being a girl but at the same time i dont, at first i thought i was transgender or nonbinary but now i know... Thank you

Up to now, I’ve just been calling myself “on the feminine side of non binary” but I think I’ve finally worked myself out

I want to seriously thank you for making this video. I always saw the label demigirl and thought “naw, this can’t be me. I don’t always just feel partly connected to enby and womanhood in a stagnant way.” I’ve been going crazy trying to figure out who I am and what I feel inside. However, this video took the label, explained, and expanded it to the point where it really resonated with me.

I think I might be a Demigirl cause I don’t feel cis but I am not fully comfortable with the trans label just yet. I know that for many nonbinary people their journey started as „Demi“ and so I don’t know if I will stay with this label but for right now it feels kinda right because it’s not cis but also not fully enby. The only thing I know at this point is that I am not a man and he/him would make me uncomfortable… so I guess I will just journey on (btw. I am she/they at the moment) XD

Im still questioning my gender but demigirl is the closest I felt that fits me. I still use she/her pronouns but I'm going back and forth if I should add they/them for the people I trust (which isn't a lot). Im just not feminie. I don't like makeup and styling my hair (actually my hair is in a pixie cut for little over a year and I love it. It's so much easier to matain with thivck curly hair). I don't like wearing dresses or fasion shoes. I do like looking at dresses and I imagine myself wearing one but in reality dress feel uncomfortable for me. If I could I perfer not to wear a bra but I can't. Instead I compromise with wireless bras. I want to die everytime I'm on period. I alwayss think its unfair that you dont get choose to get your period or not like choosing to having children or not (which I do not want children. Kids make me nervous). Last but not least, I despise shaving (my legs and private part mostly). If I could i would not shave at all but my parents guilts me to do it every summer. I hate the feel of my shaved/buzzed legs and ichyness of my private part. Its also so time consuming to do since I don't shaved often. With all of that, there are days I like being a girl but there a days I don’t want to be girl (mostly when I’m my period). I also know I’m not a boy either or fully non binary. So right now my label is demigirl but to myself because I live with my parents and they don’t get the gender spectrum. If there is another term for me though, I would like to know.

About a year ago, I realised that I was a demigirl, though I find some aspects of my gender pretty complex so if people really push me for an explanation I generally just settle for "not male" 😆 With regard to the pronouns thing, I find that neither she/her nor they/them fully 'define' me and I don't have a strong preference one way or the other (it can get a little tiring when I only hear 1 set being used over a long period of time though)

So... yes to all the signs, but regarding the first one, no if this feeling of not belonging to feminine stereotypes is because I'm maybe a demigirl or because I'm a black girl. black girls do not feel like they fit into the imposed standards of femininity, as they were constructed from white women. So, I always felt disconnected in that sense, where I wanted to strive to be feminine, but I never identified myself in that aspect, because I was never seen as a delicate girl, simply because I was black. anyway, maybe...

Thank you so much for this video! I‘m definitely a demigirl but I hate the term. Calling myself as a grown woman „girl“ goes against any sense of my identity, especially since women are often called girls as a way of patronizing them. Also a reason why I consider myself a „demigirl“ is that I‘m not girly at all in a pink-sparkly-immature way which is directly associated with the term girl, but not the term woman. That‘s why the term doesn‘t give me any euphoria and is rather an ick, while I‘m definitely the definition of it. Does anyone else think it‘s weird how we call adults with this gender identity girl/boy? For kids I totally understand it and I know the term demiwoman exists but it’s hardly ever used.

In my experience my euphoria tends to fluctuate in the flavor of gender. Sometimes I'll feel euphoric shaving my legs because it feels feminine and then on other days it'll feel euphoric and neutral. Or sometimes I'll feel xenine and feminine euphoria in certain clothes. Sometimes I'll want to dress nonbinary and end up in a skirt and shirt became thats what makrs me feel the nonbinary euphoria that day 😅

the last one got me. i’m a masc lesbian who identified as nonbinary for a while and used he/him pronouns. it turned out that something didn’t feel right. i thought i was enby because overall i don’t really care about the concept of gender, i do get dysphoric and being called a woman sometimes makes me uncomfortable. but then again i still feel some type of connection with womenhood and i want to embrace that part of myself as well as the nonbinary one. so the moment i found out what demigirl means it all clicked and i felt just… relieved. that there’s a label out there that really fits me. thank you for this video 💜

Yay!! So happy for this video. Thank you! I’m a demigirl and I don’t hear my gender talked about a lot. I especially relate to signs 1 and 5. I’m afab but have felt a disconnect from “womanhood” and femininity for a long time. I’ve also felt dysphoric about my chest and long hair and felt euphoric tucking my hair in a beanie to make it appear short. I’ve often thought being non-binary would be really cool, but the label never quite felt right. I was excited when I found out about the term demigirl. (I also like the label “genderqueer” for me.) I still just use she/her pronouns though, although they/them pronouns are lovely, and I don’t think I’d mind if people used them for me. I still present as feminine, though I would really like to present more androgynous. I’m very fond of loose, comfy hoodies.

Thank you. I don't feel very comfortable when most people call me girl/woman, but I'm definitely female when I'm with my crush. So I don't think I can really call myself nb or agender, and that confused me for a while.

after discovering im pan and ace, i honestly started wondering my gender identity after not feeling relatable to some womanhood stuff, not really comfortable with she/her or personally not liking the idea of some feminine things, so when i found out about the "demigirl" label, i was relieved since it fit me, so im happy for this vid, i learned more about myself, that im a demigirl :)))

Feeling validated! Love this!

I already know I’m a demigirl but I’m still gonna watch this for fun :]

Me connecting to all of these signs and already thinking I'm a demigirl validates me. Thank you for making this video!

Thank you so much for this video. I have been questioning my gender and this really helped me.

As someone who has been questioning recently and found out about the demigirl term, this fits me perfectly! Every single signs you gave me exactly describe how I feel. And finally realizing Im a demigirl makes me very relieved i can promise you that lol-

honestly, i found the term a while ago (some years ago?) and didn't think much of it in relation to myself. i thought it was cool ofc but "that couldn't be me." since i've selectively come out as nonbinary, i've tried to distance myself as much as i could from femininity. this is,, most likely just a reaction to not finding validation for my gender identity since i'm afab and haven't done anything too drastic to change my appearance. coincidently, i've started questioning my gender during this pride month,, and have started to open up to the idea of possibly being a demigirl. this video helped a bit, so thank you!!

Thanks, this was very helpful ❤

I'm an older millennial, and back in my 'day' (So to speak) we really didn't discuss gender identity at all. I found out about asexuality by accident in high school, and back then barely anyone knew what asexuality was. Even in the general LGBT community. (Back then there was no Q) Like I said, unlike Z, it wasn't discussed nearly as much. But the truth is, I think I always struggled with gender. I just never liked gender expectations. I have long hair, but I don't care for fashion or makeup at all. I never liked the idea that I had to be the wife of a man or a mother. I am not comfortable in any traditional female gender role. And I also tend to have a pretty set of interests that are coded both masculine or feminine. I'm glad for this video. I wish we had discussions like this when I was younger. The younger generation of queerfolk are blessed with having this amount of knowledge freely.

A very helpful video. Thank you.

1. I question my gender 2. I like to use SHE they sometime 3. I hate jewelry and fancy feminine clothes 4. I felt the term Demi-girl comfortable🩶🤍🩷🤍🩶

Thank you so much! This really helped me discover the gender identity that felt right for me. 💖

After watching this video everything clicked! Thank you so much

Thanks for this wonderful video, this gives me much more insight on who I might be.

thank you for this video. i am someone who is very unsure of themselves and i don't feel like i can trust my mind usually. i grew up in a conservative christian household that is/was very unaccepting, so i never really explored this stuff until i was 17+. i am pansexual and i have been using she/they pronouns for a while now but never really looked deeper into it. i just recently realized i wanted people to use they/them for me more often and it made me feel warm and happy when people did use those pronouns. i also noticed when i look in the mirror and look/feel more androgenous, i enjoy it, it makes me feel good. but not androgenous in a masculine way, only in a non feminine way. it's nice not feeling like i always have to be feminine and dolled up to feel good about myself. i am still getting used to that feeling. i love presenting femininely though and i think that is what has me stuck. watching this video i still felt unsure until i got to number 5. i burst out crying and i think it is sinking in that this is something i identify with. i mean i am crying writing this. i think i am going to sit with this and tell my close friends/partner soon. thank you for this video and thank you if you read this

Today I was questioning my gender and this video really helped me! Thank you!

Thanks for this video! It helped me figure out my gender identity

TYSM! I was really questioning my gender and this video helped me better understand myself. It explained what it means to be demigirl really well, it was very clear and simple, and I just loved it!

#5 really made me smile on the inside...thanks for this list ☺️

I've been questioning my gender for a while. While I do feel like a woman and I love being feminine there's some neutral parts to me aswell. It kind of depends on the situation I'm in or what I'm wearing. I never really liked having long hair on myself and I'm drawn to androgynous clothing occasionally. I have alot of anxiety regarding my gender identity though and it's hard to feel comfortable under any label. However I'm trying to see if time will make me more comfortable with the label demigirl.

Great video thanks

I just see you video and Iam so agreed with your theory. Few months ago I heard about this term. I have give me this label for first time after Iam now 37 years old. I feel so relieved. Thank you for the confirmation and let this know to other people.

this helped me alot❤

Hello!! :>, i just recently started questioning my gender identity and as of now i think demigirl fits best with what i feel at the moment and whenever i feel like im "faking it" i come back to this video since i relate to it so so much, thank you for making so many great videos like this!! :>

As far as I know, I am probably a cis girl, but I really don’t know for sure. I don’t think I really relate to being a demigirl, but I don’t completely know if I identify as a girl. The only thing I relate to is the mixed pronouns thing. I’m pretty much comfortable with any pronouns except he and it. If anyone has any suggestions or anything I would love to hear them!

Thank you for adding demigenders in this! As a demigirl, we don't really get much recognition in the community, since we're kind of a small part of it.

Oh my gosh thank you so much, I already know for a fact that I’m demisexual and panromantic, but I always felt like I’m demigirl but I felt like I was but wasn’t. This video was just absolutely helpful because currently I’m trying to figure out where I land in the LGBTQIA+ spectrum, but I’m still not even sure if I’m demisexual and panromantic. Thanks a bunch, and new sub :)

This video has helped me so much with finding my gender identity. I have been questioning for such a long time, up until I found and learnt about the label Demigirl. And after watching this video, my confidence has boosted so much, and I think I might plan on coming out soon. I can't thank you enough for this video. You are amazing. ☺️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️👍❤️

For a while now, I’ve identified as gender-fluid between Agender and Demigirl. Or, when joking “Fluid between No and Maybe”. My presentation always lands between Butch and Androgynous, so the difference is generally how uncomfortable I am with “she”.

While developing my own identity after moving out and coming to terms with being a lesbian, I felt like there was something off. I've always hated the expectations that came with being a girl, definitely as a kid, being forced to like girly things, such as barbies (like the movies tho), dolls in general, my little ponies, horseback riding, dresses, ballet. I liked dinosaurs, pokemon, bakugan, videogames, basketball, playing the guitar and clothing wise I prefered just jeans with a shirt and leather jacket and sneakers. As a teenager (14, came out at 16 and am now 23) I found out that I liked women and wrote me hating those things off as being a stereotypical lesbian. But I hated the expectations still, I wanted to express myself the way I wanted to, I wanted to wear suit and tie, not dresses. I've always felt like a woman, but not a 100%, I always thought it was either cisman, transman, ciswoman, transwoman, non-binary in a sense of being both genders like 50% or agender. So I never realized demigirl was a thing until now. I've come to realize that I probably am a demigirl.

Damn so relatableeee!!

Me: No, I'm not a demigirl. Me in the past: I'm okay with any pronouns, I'm totally neutral. Yep. Oh, of course, except for he/him. Me: ...

At a few days short of my 57th birthday, I have decided that Demigirl is closest to my identity. I like some aspects of womanhood and sometimes I can pretty much totally feel it. Other days, I feel more - I guess - neutral or just gender doesn't really figure, or I can feel kinda masculine. I wear my hair long (it curls at the end, and short hair makes my head look small), and there are times I would like to wear a dress or a skirt and the whole nine yards, but most of the time I dress more androgynous - being more comfortable in T-shirts and sweatpants or other casual pants - and don't really like to wear makeup (I wind up rubbing it off, anyways) or jewelry outside of my wedding ring. I don't get walking in high heels or bikini waxing or eating a small salad when you really want fries - that whole "beauty is pain" thing. I'm not really into romances (although I enjoy a good lovey-dovey scene like any other woman), preferring action most of the time, but if I was a character in a romance novel, I'd want to be the guy cuz they're more fun-loving and casual whereas the girl is totally uptight. I remember how proud I felt in high school when a couple of guys, when they heard me tell the teacher on duty that I wanted to go in and work out with the free weights instead of playing in team sports, said "She can do it, she's a stud!" And I felt so pleased, like "Yeah, I *am* a stud!!" And yet, I sorta wish I could be June Cleaver from "Leave It to Beaver", especially being married. Although I love flowers, pastels, and smooth jazz and play flute and harp, I also love NASCAR, monster trucks, rock music, and action scenes. That's, I guess, my masculine or non-binary side. Some days, I would want to be a boho hippie chick like Stevie Nicks from Fleetwood Mac (love her!!!) and other days I would wear a guy's T-shirt cuz I like their graphics and they're more roomy, and my favorite jacket (which I actually got from a Halloween costume store) was a bomber jacket. I see myself as a "60-70% feminine and the rest more neutral or even kinda masculine" demigirl who is comfortable with she/her pronouns, but wouldn't mind they/them if someone used them. (I also identify as graysexual and sorta bi, but that's another post!)

I'm a demigirl! It felt good when I read the definition and resonated with it. :D

Honestly do feel like I am a DemiGirl this realization is eye opening

Demigirls and boys don’t get any representation from what I’ve seen. So I’m happy you’ve done this for the demigirls. 😊

I love how Demiboy and Demigirl are "not talked about as much" and yet at least four close people who I know are demiboy or demigirl! 🤣

wow. I'm five for five! I think I've found my label! thank you!

You don’t need a label, just be true to yourself

Thanks for reaffirming hehe I've known I was a demigirl for like two years. I discovered the term and it all instantly clicked in my mind. It was all explained. Whenever I hear someone talking about women I am like "what you saying about me??" and it is _exactly_ the same when I hear about non binary people. I was so relieved to know this was a thing. My external world didn't really change, since I am comfortable with female pronouns (neutral pronouns don't really make gramatical sense in my language anyways). Most people think of me as a woman, and that's ok, but it's great being able to express my full self with people I trust, and specially with myself. For anyone who doesn't get this or think it's stupid: *the term isn't made for you,* it shouldn't affect you. It is for people whose life is a little more brighter when they finally figure out their gender. Be happy for them and move on.

I remember when I was questioning my identity, and all these signs were all what I felt. And this summer, when I discovered what the word “demigirl” meant, thought that it could be me, and it was!

I feel like Cisgirl isn't quite right for me... but sometimes I feel strongly feminine. And sometimes I feel a little more neutral, but I still want to be percieved as a woman. Does that really mean that I am a Demigirl, or a mix of Cisdemi? Or doesn't that say anything at all?

I’m not sure if I’m a Demi girl. I’ve always despised girl’s gender norms, and I love dressing boyish, but I love being a girl. Idk, can someone help?

I always put she/they whenever asked about pronouns but then found that girls usually put only she/her and it made me realize that I would be very uncomfortable with having only those pronouns in use, if it makes sense, and this is what first got me thinking I might be a demigirl

I used to identify as gender-neutral but I didn’t really feel comfortable. So when I found out what’s Demi-Girl is I felt comfortable in my own skin. Now I decided I am a Demi-Girl and I’m going to stick with it! I’m just gonna go bye any pronouns. Thank you for making this video!

Thank you I have been questioning my gender identity for I few years now and am unsure cuz some days I feel like a woman, but some days I don’t feel like a woman and sometimes feel like I don’t have a gender or that I feel more masculine

I've heard of this before and I'm honestly still confused about my gender- I (afab) identify as female, _maybe_ feminine too, not fully sure there. But I don't like being called a girl or woman for some reason, which is why I might use demigender as a label but not demigirl. I have no idea what this is and if anyone knows other labels that might fit, please tell me cuz I love using labels

Hello there I am questioning being demi-girl female and non-binary and thank you this helps me more than you will ever know thankyou❤

We are all born in the right body. The body God has blessed us with.

The past few months I’ve realized I’ve slipped between they/them and she/her. I have heard of Demi girl before but never actually considered myself as one since I didn’t know much about the term back then. I’ve used she/they for a while, if people don’t know I’m a girl they could call me they/them. But now I am starting to think it’s more than just”if you don’t know my pronouns”. I will do deep research and learn more about the term and see if it fits me well. Thanks for posting this 😁

You are awesome lynn you are amazing love you as a person so proud of you haven't heard of demigirl much but i have heard of people using the pronouns she/they interesting video lynn you are a good accepting valid person

3:28 This one made me laugh because that's exactly how I felt. LOL I think I found my label. Btw, I sometimes feel that saying I'm trans is weird because I'm not a trans guy even though I want to have top surgery one day. It's so confusing...I didn't want to change too much. I just wanted to be me minus the boobs so I could be something more neutral. I'm a curvy "girl" with big boobs, it's uncomfortable. I think I'm beautiful when I look in the mirror, but at the same time...not me, does that make sense?

Thank you! I'm crying. I'm more sure, that I'm a demigirl. I feel disconnected sometimes with the term "woman". It's so strange for me. I'm under the trans umbrella. I"ve never expected. My partner, and best fiends are however accepting. I have a mixed feeling about it, bc many poeple are so horribly transphobe. :(

I may be a demigirl and the sign that pushed me into further research is that i thought i was agender, but i figured out when i liked a girl it was gay and when i liked a guy it wasnt so gay, just a little. And i was more comfortable with calling myself a girl than a boy. I still may be wrong about it, but for now i feel like a demigirl

I have a question, so i never really questioned my gender and then boom yesterday i felt really diconected from being a girl (i wore a top and i hated how my boobs were noticible and I hated when my mom called me a girl) is that normal? I mean like sudden hit that your gender doesn't suit you?

So I am a Cis hetero man and I am trying to wrap my head around this term because my oldest daughter just came out as a lesbian demigirl. I gotta say I just don't get it. Our family is full of gay and Trans people and we are totally supportive but my daughter is by far the most feminine person in the family. There is a disconnect for me that she can do EVERY stereotypical teenage girl thing (clothes, hair, makeup, music etc.) but says she is SOMETIMES non binary. I do not mean any of this in a disrespectful way but if anyone could help shed some light on this I would appreciate it. P.S. I am afraid to bring this directly to her because she is at a very vulnerable age and I don't want to come across as unsupportive

Not sure if I could be a Demigirl or not as I'm still new and exploring the community. I personally partially identify as a bit NB due to being Aroace and I use She/they pronouns. I'm curious to know if that make me one or not? 😅

Wow I relate to all of these 😅 like I feel like a woman but sometimes I don’t feel like anything neither feminine or masculine I’m just me and I always wish to be perceived androgynously and I’m perfectly fine being called she but when someone call me they it feels good I think I might identify with this label

I’ve been using the label genderqueer but I’m starting to question if I’m a demigirl. I like being called stuff like handsome, having he/him pronouns being used on me, and dressing masculine, but I don’t know if it’s because being perceived as masculine is an ego boost for me because all my life I’ve hated womanhood and the societal expectations that comes with being a woman, or if I genuinely want to identify as a man(which, thinking about it, I kinda don’t). I don’t know if I actually want to be a boy or if I want to be a boy just to not have those problems. I have absolutely loved being perceived as androgynous, but I don’t fully identify as being nonbinary. I do think being a woman is a strong part of my identity, whether I like it or not. So maybe I’m a demigirl that uses any and all pronouns and likes dressing masculine?

I'm a demigirl and I just connect more with nonbinary with a little bit of femininity

I'm autistic and cant really perceive gender properly, and I like dressing hyper feminine, does that mean I cant use the more gender neutral parts? I have no want to dress more androgynously but my lack of perception of gender makes me wonder if this may fit.

I went looking for a video like this because I use to identify as agender because I felt like neither male or female at the time and using the label was also easier then picking a gender. But now I can’t choose between being genderless and being a woman because I suddenly feel like a girl again but not quiet.

I recently figured out that I am a demigirl (with she/her pronouns bc that's what i'm most comfortable with) and this video was helpful to kind of confirm my identity? if that makes sense? anyways, it helped a lot in confirming for me that I'm not alone and that all of my feelings are valid and real, so tysm :D

Currently working it out, started using a mix of she/they pronouns but feel myself floating between Demi girl and genderfluid. Anyone else struggling with this? ❤

I think I'm a demigirl, I'll do more research, so THANK YOU!

And I'm realizing some things about myself

nice, im a demiwoman thank for this

I’m Demigirl and that helps a lot.

I have never not felt like a woman/female/girl. But i've also never cared for gender stereotypes either. As a teen I used to call myself a tomboy. Is demigirl not just the same thing?

Okay so I recently came out as a demigirl to very few people, but I want to know, is it normal to feel more feminine than nonbinary? Because I've noticed I more strongly feel connected with being a girl/woman than anything else. Is this normal?

Hello! I'm a little confused about my gender. A question, would it be considered if you are a demi girl if you feel like a woman but a part of your body is considered a man. Thank you

Could you do signs of demiboys

So demigirl is sort of a crossover/mix between girl and enbi?

me when i got literally every single sign in this video

Hellooo!!! Edit: jeez I have these signs

I think I'm a demi-girl, but it's different because I'd still use she/her and I'm still a girl, it's only that my moods change quickly and I act like other genders. Like some times I'll dress all fancy, then I'll dress in hoodies, then a bit emo, exc. But I also feel uncomfortable being called a girly girl. Could this be a sign that I'm demi-girl ?

I think I could be a demigirl.

Hi Lynn. How do you identify? My grown child is non binary and pansexual. But they feel 80 % masculine.

This only confirms what I was thinking. . . I'm a demi-girl >:)
