Not sure if this is already a thing but I can’t find anything anywhere but I’m really vibing with the term Boy Lite. Another friend of mine also does too, so I made a flag but if it’s already coined let me know! 💙
Boy Lite: a gender that is heavily masculine and boy aligned, but not understanding/conforming to all the standards set by and influenced by the gender binary. Different from demiboy as one can feel wholly a boy, but not feel a strong connection to parts of the gender binary. Also not necessarily as non conforming as non binary, but can be used interchangeably with demiboy, enboy, and any related terms.
Girl Lite: a gender that is heavily feminine and girl aligned, but not understanding/conforming to all the standards set by and influenced by the gender binary. Different from demigirl as one can feel wholly a girl, but not feel a strong connection to parts of the gender binary. Also not necessarily as non conforming as non binary, but can be used interchangeably with demigirl, girlby, and any related terms.
Gender Lite: a gender that is heavily neutral and neutral aligned, but not understanding/conforming to all the standards set by and influenced by the gender binary, or societies expectation of a gender neutral experience. Can also be used as an umbrella term for any under experience which doesn’t fully conform/fit under the gender binary while still identifying largely with it. Different from demigender as one can feel wholly a their gender, but not feel a strong connection to parts of the gender binary. Also not necessarily as non conforming as non binary, but can be used interchangeably with femigender, enby, and any related terms.
Andro Lite: a gender that is heavily androgynous and andro aligned, but not understanding/conforming to all the standards set by and influenced by the gender binary, or societies expectation of an androgynous experience. Different from demigender as one can feel wholly a their gender, but not feel a strong connection to parts of the gender binary. Can encompass feeling both masculine and feminine, either at once, at different times, or fluidity between them. Also not necessarily as non conforming as non binary, but can be used interchangeably with androgyny related terms.
Neutral/Neutrois Lite: a gender that is heavily neutral and neutral aligned, but not understanding/conforming to all the standards set by and influenced by the gender binary, or societies expectation of a neutral experience. An alternative to my original “gender lite” for the specific neutral/neutrois gender experience. Different from demigender as one can feel wholly a their gender, but not feel a strong connection to parts of the gender binary. Also not necessarily as non conforming as non binary, but can be used interchangeably with neutral related terms.
Agender Lite: (I’m not agender myself so I tried to make a couple of variations based off the flag) a “gender” label to describe a heavily genderless and unaligned experience, but not understanding/conforming to all the standards set by and influenced by the gender binary, or societies expectation of an agender experience. Different from demiagender as one can feel wholly a their gender, but not feel a strong connection to parts of the gender binary. Also not necessarily as non conforming as non binary, but can be used interchangeably with agender related terms.
Coined for me, by me, but feel free to use with credit!
