the basics

transgender - (often shortened to trans) is a term referring to an individual whose gender identity does not entirely, always, only, or at all correspond with their assigned gender at birth (AGAB). transgender is not a gender identity on its own, rather it is a gender modality; it expresses that there is a difference between one's AGAB and one's gender identity. the opposite of transgender is cisgender. x

non-binary - refers to someone whose gender does not fall strictly within the category of the binary genders (male or female) that are used in western society. anyone who is not always, solely, 100% male or always, solely, 100% female can be considered non-binary. some non-binary individuals may identify with one or both of the binary genders, at least in part, while others are completely unrelated to the binary genders. non-binary can be a gender identity on its own, or it can be used as an umbrella term for anyone whose gender is something other than male or female. x

queer - is an identity, an umbrella term, and often considered a movement for sexual and gender minorities and individuals who fall outside of and/or reject the cultural norms around sexuality, gender identity, and/or gender expression. the word queer can mean different things to different individuals, but the most common definition is someone who is not cishet/someone with variant experiences with orientation, gender, and/or sex. the queer movement has largely been about anti-conformity and the rejection of binaries and being pushed into boxes. x

the specifics

demifloren - is a gender that is partially fluid and partially static. the fluid part of the gender fluctuates between identities which are never fully female or fully male. however, these gender can be feminine, partially female, female-aligned, masculine, partially male, or male-aligned. the static part of the gender is undefined, and can be anything, so it varies from individual to individual. x

neutrois - is a non-binary gender identity that is associated with having a neutral or null gender. it is an umbrella term, with each individual experiencing neutrois differently. common definitions include feeling neutrally gendered – feeling neither male, female, nor anything in between, but still feeling strongly gendered. another common definition is feeling null-gendered, genderless or agender – some genderless individuals may identify as both agender and neutrois, while others may prefer one term or the other. x neutrois typically experience a sense of gender dysphoria, and often have a strong desire to reflect their internal gender. x

neutrois + demifloren = neutrofloren
