Demiboy (also known as Demiman, Demimale, Demiguy, Demilad, Demidude, or Demibloke) is a non-binary gender in which one is partially, but not fully, a boy or man. They may or may not identify as another gender in addition to being partially a boy. The other part of one's gender can be any gender or combination of genders, including a lack of gender.
The term demiboy was coined on August 12th, 2010. On August 12, 2010, user Bad Patient of AVEN made a post saying:
"...I said to myself that I can make 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. I've felt for some time that I may have too much of a masculine element in me to call myself agender and feel good about it — so maybe it would be a nice idea to call myself a demiguy. Demidude. Demibloke..."
Demiboyflux is a combination of demiboy and boyflux. Demiboyflux individuals have some connection to maleness but this connection fluctuates. At their most male, demiboyflux individuals feel like a demiboy. At their least male, they may feel like another gender. It may also describe those who are partially, but not fully boyflux.
The term demiboyflux was first coined on August 10th, 2016. The first known use of this term was on the same day by Tumblr user @nonbinaryresource
Demimasculine or Demimasculinity is where one's gender feels partly masculine and partly another gender. This other gender can be almost anything other than demifeminine. The masculine part of this gender refers to someone's gender that feels masculine itself, not just any masculine gender. The other part of the gender is any gender that is not binary like non-binary, agender, genderqueer, xenogenders, and etc.
