I've been questioning my gender identity and am leaning towards non-binary girl, anywho, I was wondering if you know of any non-binary yet feminine / inclusive of being female genders? (Other than DemiGirl, as I am already aware of that one). :)
This answer has some!
I’m not sure of what you mean by “inclusive of being female”, though; do you mean genders that blur the line between female and feminine, or genders that you can use alongside female? Because most identities can be used alongside others; you can be bigender fingender/female, for instance.
Some genders that are related to femaleness or femininity, without explicitly rejecting femininity or femaleness, are:
Juxera: “A gender relative to female, but is something separate and entirely on it’s own. It is not outside the gender spectrum.“
Sapphiregender: “A gender that is aesthetically related to sapphires, a gender that is feminine, nonbinary, and vaguely fluid.”
Xirl: “Someone who identifies in some way as a nonbinary girl or nonbinary girl-adjacent. Someone who identifies with some part of woman/girlhood but who wants a more nonbinary and neutral sounding word because they aren’t entirely girls or don't want to be associated with the typical ideas brought up by the word “girl.””
Femfluidflux: “Being fluid between feminine and nonbinary genders and having the intensity of those genders fluctuate.“
Doegender: “A gender encompassing feminine animal energy. Can be used by kin and non-kin.”
Dulcigender: “An aesthetically-centered gender that is associated largely with stereotypically feminine things (such as pinks, frills, buns, and general cute things)."
Princessgender: “A soft but grandiose gender; The individual with this gender feels that their identity feels majestic, imposing and grand, but also prim, cute and ethereal. Often involves a gender expression that is soft and feminine, but commanding and confident. May openly pursue reverence of their identity from others and/or be very vocal about their identity to others, with pride. Softer, cuter and less acute than Regisgender.” Princessgender is the female-aligned version.
Queengender: “A lofty, grandiose gender; The individual with this gender feels that their identity feels majestic, imposing and grand. Often involves a gender expression that is bold, commanding and confident. May openly pursue reverence of their identity from others and/or be very vocal about their identity to others, with pride. Feels more intense and bold than Pringender.” Queengender is the female-aligned version.
Effrille: From the french word scary (effrayant) and girl (fille), the meaning being scary girl. It is a nb girl gender, may be paired with agender and other genders.
And then, we have the many, many genders that can be used along with -girl, -woman or -feminine instead of -gender to specify how those genders are experienced. Here are a few examples:
Altegender: "Derived from shortening the phrase “alternate existence.” It is a xenogender that feels as though it’s in a parallel dimension, on a different plane, in a mirror universe, or just in an alternate existence.”
Dubgender: “Means that you cannot trust that an existing gender identity label will fit you perfectly well, which means that, despite being a good label, a dubboy doesn’t really trust that the label of “boy” will be entirely accurate, and a dubgirl is a little iffy about the label of “girl” as well.”
Offgender: “A gender that closely represents/is most closely represented by another gender, but is not that gender. Can be likened to what the color off-white is to white for descriptive purposes. Similar in definition to paragender and perigender.”
Ptilogender:“A collection/group of genders with all genders having a common theme, making them hard to describe individually and easier to describe as the whole group. Named after the genera Ptilonorhynchidae, or bowerbirds, specifically the satin bowerbird, which collects blue objects to display as a part of its courtship ritual.”
Ekragender: “A gender you have blown up into a million pieces or destroyed by detonating, or one that wish you could destroy in that way. Prefix from the Greek word εκραγεί meaning “explode.””
Foggender: “A gender which is close to a certain gender, but cannot be directly pinpointed due to brainfog (a lack of concentration or wakefulness associated with ADHD, fibromyalgia, depression, etc.)Can be combined with relevant genders.“
Subgender/minumegender:“Mostly agender (¾) with a bit of another gender, ex. subboy, subgirl, etc.”
Hope that helps! Feel free to ask for more, especially if you think you can now narrow your experiences a little.
