Mefeille describes a Melle-Femil bigender identity; a Mefeille is both Melle and Femil. It is a miderian gender that is MAIN, FEIN, nofemasc, nomafem and potentially other gender alignments.
Melle describes one who is a fem-aligned, non-masculine man/male; Femil describes one who is a masc-ailgned, non-feminine woman/female. As a Melle, one may have other alignments which are non-masculine. As a Femil, one may have other alignments which are non-feminine. A Mefeille may have both and/ or neither of these alignments.
Mefeille is a multigender of Melle and Femil. Mefeille can be used to describe one who is a masc-aligned, non-fem woman who may have other non-fem alignments relating to their Femil identity as well as a fem-aligned, non-masc man who may have other non-masc alignment relating to their Melle identity.
A Mefeille may be both Melle and Femil simultaneously, fluidly or in some sort of combination with one another.
