I've flirted with the idea of being both woman and non-binary off and on. At this point, I'm pretty happy with just identifying as a woman, but my demigals definitely need more acknowledgement.
I understand how u feel. Ive been questioning my gender for quite some time now and the thought kept coming back that I might be either trans or non binary, but I didn't feel completely comfortable with identifying as a boy. Ive toyed with the idea and after learning more about demigirls, it's really helped me a lot. Im glad that ive found a gender identity that feels right and now im feeling better abt myself and I feel more comfortable.
I hadn’t heard this term before but it really puts a lot of my feelings into more focus and perspective. Feels like when I learned about asexuality for the first time and things suddenly clicked lol.
Yes to all 5! I used to think I was cis because I have no issues w my assigned gender, yet there are also feelings like “This isn’t all there is.” Esp since there are days I feel not woman, not man, but something else
Yeah I am also struggling with this because seriously the thing is, I walk in the world with cisgender privilege and not very much dysphoria. No doubt. And that makes me, functionally anyway, a cis ally. But like all the other squishy inside NB things... Aaaaagh!
At 46 this is an amazing age to find a named gender term that super matches me. Finding out there's a word for my inner self's gender, "Demiwoman" (since I am no longer a girl), really actually helps me to be more comfortable with both my woman-ness and my NB-ness. I kinda wasn't expecting that, like finding out I'm a demi-woman helps me more lovingly accept my woman self. And my shiny egg-emerging NB self. Overall I just feel more peace having found this term and switching to using two sets of pronouns (she/her, they/them.)
My 11 year old daughter has been struggling for the past year or so with how she identifies herself. Last night she told my wife and I that she now identifies as a Demigirl, so today I’ve been doing a little research so I can try to better understand her feelings. I still need to do a lot more, but this video has helped me to start!
Thanks! I'm not a demigirl but this helped me realize demiboy fits my gender better. I was so confused about why I sometimes hate being male but sometimes I don't, or why I felt connected to being amab to the point where sometimes I forgot about being nonbinary.
Hello!! She/They demigirl here. I've never heard of some of these signs of being a demigirl, but I just think this video just adds to the fact that I'm a demigirl. I definitely relate to pretty much all of these and I think I'm set for my gender for now. Thank you for sharing about this because it's a pretty unheard of gender identity and I love it, it may not be perfect but I think it's pretty good!!
I want to seriously thank you for making this video. I always saw the label demigirl and thought “naw, this can’t be me. I don’t always just feel partly connected to enby and womanhood in a stagnant way.” I’ve been going crazy trying to figure out who I am and what I feel inside. However, this video took the label, explained, and expanded it to the point where it really resonated with me.
Im questioning this a few months ago and my toughts were like "im not nonbinary but there is smth" and "im a girl AND something" and honestly finding this was a relief. I started feeling more and more comfotable under the demigirl term.
Thank you for this video! I’m wondering how we can tell the difference between feeling uncomfortable with gender expectations because they are misogynistic/sexist vs being a demigirl. This is something I’ve been wrestling with for like a year lol
Same! That’s why I’ve been questioning if I’m non-binary, agender, a demigirl, etc. I think most people nowadays (hopefully) recognize that gender expectations are misogynistic, but those of us that feel like those expectations keep us from reaching our true potential might be demigirls/some form of nonbinary. For me, I feel like the expectations are stupid for all genders (why should someone be expected to/have to do this based on their gender?). If demigirl doesn’t resonate with you, you can consider the gender nonconforming label. It can be applied to cis or nonbinary people. I might be a gender nonconforming girl or a gnc demigirl. The difference is subtle, but I think there is a difference. I’m currently leaning more towards the second option, but I’m still in the questioning stage. I don’t want to be defined by being a girl/woman so I think demigirl feels more comfortable, but who knows. Anyways, I hope that helped or at least made you feel less alone! ❤️❤️
About a year ago, I realised that I was a demigirl, though I find some aspects of my gender pretty complex so if people really push me for an explanation I generally just settle for "not male" 😆 With regard to the pronouns thing, I find that neither she/her nor they/them fully 'define' me and I don't have a strong preference one way or the other (it can get a little tiring when I only hear 1 set being used over a long period of time though)
the last one got me. i’m a masc lesbian who identified as nonbinary for a while and used he/him pronouns. it turned out that something didn’t feel right. i thought i was enby because overall i don’t really care about the concept of gender, i do get dysphoric and being called a woman sometimes makes me uncomfortable. but then again i still feel some type of connection with womenhood and i want to embrace that part of myself as well as the nonbinary one. so the moment i found out what demigirl means it all clicked and i felt just… relieved. that there’s a label out there that really fits me. thank you for this video 💜
Im still questioning my gender but demigirl is the closest I felt that fits me. I still use she/her pronouns but I'm going back and forth if I should add they/them for the people I trust (which isn't a lot). Im just not feminie. I don't like makeup and styling my hair (actually my hair is in a pixie cut for little over a year and I love it. It's so much easier to matain with thivck curly hair). I don't like wearing dresses or fasion shoes. I do like looking at dresses and I imagine myself wearing one but in reality dress feel uncomfortable for me. If I could I perfer not to wear a bra but I can't. Instead I compromise with wireless bras. I want to die everytime I'm on period. I alwayss think its unfair that you dont get choose to get your period or not like choosing to having children or not (which I do not want children. Kids make me nervous). Last but not least, I despise shaving (my legs and private part mostly). If I could i would not shave at all but my parents guilts me to do it every summer. I hate the feel of my shaved/buzzed legs and ichyness of my private part. Its also so time consuming to do since I don't shaved often. With all of that, there are days I like being a girl but there a days I don’t want to be girl (mostly when I’m my period). I also know I’m not a boy either or fully non binary. So right now my label is demigirl but to myself because I live with my parents and they don’t get the gender spectrum. If there is another term for me though, I would like to know.
So... yes to all the signs, but regarding the first one, no if this feeling of not belonging to feminine stereotypes is because I'm maybe a demigirl or because I'm a black girl. black girls do not feel like they fit into the imposed standards of femininity, as they were constructed from white women. So, I always felt disconnected in that sense, where I wanted to strive to be feminine, but I never identified myself in that aspect, because I was never seen as a delicate girl, simply because I was black. anyway, maybe...
I think I might be a Demigirl cause I don’t feel cis but I am not fully comfortable with the trans label just yet. I know that for many nonbinary people their journey started as „Demi“ and so I don’t know if I will stay with this label but for right now it feels kinda right because it’s not cis but also not fully enby. The only thing I know at this point is that I am not a man and he/him would make me uncomfortable… so I guess I will just journey on (btw. I am she/they at the moment) XD
Omg, same. I don’t feel like I’m fully a woman but idk if I’m nonbinary either, for now I’m using she/they pronouns mostly because my mother language is very gendered and I have to choose if I refer to myself as a woman or a man 🥲 Started identifying as a demigirl but I currently don’t feel very feminine or comfy in feminine clothes and I’m closer to being nonbinary. And the idea of someone looking at me and thinking “Are they a boy or a girl?” low key makes me feel euphoric so maybe I’ll start identifying as nonbinary
Yay!! So happy for this video. Thank you! I’m a demigirl and I don’t hear my gender talked about a lot. I especially relate to signs 1 and 5. I’m afab but have felt a disconnect from “womanhood” and femininity for a long time. I’ve also felt dysphoric about my chest and long hair and felt euphoric tucking my hair in a beanie to make it appear short. I’ve often thought being non-binary would be really cool, but the label never quite felt right. I was excited when I found out about the term demigirl. (I also like the label “genderqueer” for me.) I still just use she/her pronouns though, although they/them pronouns are lovely, and I don’t think I’d mind if people used them for me. I still present as feminine, though I would really like to present more androgynous. I’m very fond of loose, comfy hoodies.
after discovering im pan and ace, i honestly started wondering my gender identity after not feeling relatable to some womanhood stuff, not really comfortable with she/her or personally not liking the idea of some feminine things, so when i found out about the "demigirl" label, i was relieved since it fit me, so im happy for this vid, i learned more about myself, that im a demigirl :)))
In my experience my euphoria tends to fluctuate in the flavor of gender. Sometimes I'll feel euphoric shaving my legs because it feels feminine and then on other days it'll feel euphoric and neutral. Or sometimes I'll feel xenine and feminine euphoria in certain clothes. Sometimes I'll want to dress nonbinary and end up in a skirt and shirt became thats what makrs me feel the nonbinary euphoria that day 😅
For a while now, I’ve identified as gender-fluid between Agender and Demigirl. Or, when joking “Fluid between No and Maybe”. My presentation always lands between Butch and Androgynous, so the difference is generally how uncomfortable I am with “she”.
Thank you. I don't feel very comfortable when most people call me girl/woman, but I'm definitely female when I'm with my crush. So I don't think I can really call myself nb or agender, and that confused me for a while.
As someone who has been questioning recently and found out about the demigirl term, this fits me perfectly! Every single signs you gave me exactly describe how I feel. And finally realizing Im a demigirl makes me very relieved i can promise you that lol-
TYSM! I was really questioning my gender and this video helped me better understand myself. It explained what it means to be demigirl really well, it was very clear and simple, and I just loved it!
Thank you so much for this video! I‘m definitely a demigirl but I hate the term. Calling myself as a grown woman „girl“ goes against any sense of my identity, especially since women are often called girls as a way of patronizing them. Also a reason why I consider myself a „demigirl“ is that I‘m not girly at all in a pink-sparkly-immature way which is directly associated with the term girl, but not the term woman. That‘s why the term doesn‘t give me any euphoria and is rather an ick, while I‘m definitely the definition of it. Does anyone else think it‘s weird how we call adults with this gender identity girl/boy? For kids I totally understand it and I know the term demiwoman exists but it’s hardly ever used.
Literally this !!! I despise being called girl in any capacity but fully relate with this identity. I’ve seen Demi-fem before which is closer but the dysphoria is very real right now for me so I’m just going with demi gender atm
Oh my gosh thank you so much, I already know for a fact that I’m demisexual and panromantic, but I always felt like I’m demigirl but I felt like I was but wasn’t. This video was just absolutely helpful because currently I’m trying to figure out where I land in the LGBTQIA+ spectrum, but I’m still not even sure if I’m demisexual and panromantic. Thanks a bunch, and new sub :)
As far as I know, I am probably a cis girl, but I really don’t know for sure. I don’t think I really relate to being a demigirl, but I don’t completely know if I identify as a girl. The only thing I relate to is the mixed pronouns thing. I’m pretty much comfortable with any pronouns except he and it. If anyone has any suggestions or anything I would love to hear them!
I think I might be one but im low key scared because I’m lds/mormon and also last time a came out to my mom she tried to change me by telling me being a girl is awsome 😭🙏
I've been questioning my gender for a while. While I do feel like a woman and I love being feminine there's some neutral parts to me aswell. It kind of depends on the situation I'm in or what I'm wearing. I never really liked having long hair on myself and I'm drawn to androgynous clothing occasionally. I have alot of anxiety regarding my gender identity though and it's hard to feel comfortable under any label. However I'm trying to see if time will make me more comfortable with the label demigirl.
Same! That’s why I’ve been questioning if I’m non-binary, agender, a demigirl, etc. If demigirl doesn’t resonate with you, you can consider the gender nonconforming label. It can be applied to cis or nonbinary people. I might be a gender nonconforming girl or a gnc demigirl. The difference is subtle, but I think there is a difference. I’m currently leaning more towards the second option, but I’m still in the questioning stage. I don’t want to be defined by being a girl/woman so I think demigirl feels more comfortable, but who knows. Anyways, I hope that helped or at least made you feel less alone! ❤️❤️
I used to identify as gender-neutral but I didn’t really feel comfortable. So when I found out what’s Demi-Girl is I felt comfortable in my own skin. Now I decided I am a Demi-Girl and I’m going to stick with it! I’m just gonna go bye any pronouns. Thank you for making this video!
I feel like Cisgirl isn't quite right for me... but sometimes I feel strongly feminine. And sometimes I feel a little more neutral, but I still want to be percieved as a woman. Does that really mean that I am a Demigirl, or a mix of Cisdemi? Or doesn't that say anything at all?
honestly, i found the term a while ago (some years ago?) and didn't think much of it in relation to myself. i thought it was cool ofc but "that couldn't be me." since i've selectively come out as nonbinary, i've tried to distance myself as much as i could from femininity. this is,, most likely just a reaction to not finding validation for my gender identity since i'm afab and haven't done anything too drastic to change my appearance. coincidently, i've started questioning my gender during this pride month,, and have started to open up to the idea of possibly being a demigirl. this video helped a bit, so thank you!!
So I am a Cis hetero man and I am trying to wrap my head around this term because my oldest daughter just came out as a lesbian demigirl. I gotta say I just don't get it. Our family is full of gay and Trans people and we are totally supportive but my daughter is by far the most feminine person in the family. There is a disconnect for me that she can do EVERY stereotypical teenage girl thing (clothes, hair, makeup, music etc.) but says she is SOMETIMES non binary. I do not mean any of this in a disrespectful way but if anyone could help shed some light on this I would appreciate it. P.S. I am afraid to bring this directly to her because she is at a very vulnerable age and I don't want to come across as unsupportive
Hi there! First off, thank you for being an ally and supporting your kids! I wish all parents were that amazing! Second, being a demigirl can look different for everyone. I’m currently questioning if I’m a demigirl or a gender nonconforming girl since I think gender stereotypes are unnecessary. For me, I feel like I connect with some parts of being feminine (dressing up, wearing makeup, etc.), but not all the time or on a consistent basis. The same goes with being nonbinary. Sometimes I feel like I don’t “fit” as a girl/woman, but I don’t “fit” as nonbinary either since I like some aspects of being feminine. If it helps, the demigirl label is under the nonbinary umbrella so it makes sense for someone to be both nonbinary and a demigirl since one falls under the other. Some people use the more specific label (demigirl) while others use both. It’s up to each person to decide what they feel fits them best. I hope that helps! Feel free to ask more questions and keep being awesome! ☺️
I havent really been able to explore gender/sexuality ive been thinking for a while i might be bisexual and didnt think much about geder, i didnt really think that was an option for me, but this feels right for me i think i might be a demi girl, thank you so much for the information on this its releiving that there are people who will take the time to inform others on this type of thing
At a few days short of my 57th birthday, I have decided that Demigirl is closest to my identity. I like some aspects of womanhood and sometimes I can pretty much totally feel it. Other days, I feel more - I guess - neutral or just gender doesn't really figure, or I can feel kinda masculine. I wear my hair long (it curls at the end, and short hair makes my head look small), and there are times I would like to wear a dress or a skirt and the whole nine yards, but most of the time I dress more androgynous - being more comfortable in T-shirts and sweatpants or other casual pants - and don't really like to wear makeup (I wind up rubbing it off, anyways) or jewelry outside of my wedding ring. I don't get walking in high heels or bikini waxing or eating a small salad when you really want fries - that whole "beauty is pain" thing. I'm not really into romances (although I enjoy a good lovey-dovey scene like any other woman), preferring action most of the time, but if I was a character in a romance novel, I'd want to be the guy cuz they're more fun-loving and casual whereas the girl is totally uptight. I remember how proud I felt in high school when a couple of guys, when they heard me tell the teacher on duty that I wanted to go in and work out with the free weights instead of playing in team sports, said "She can do it, she's a stud!" And I felt so pleased, like "Yeah, I *am* a stud!!" And yet, I sorta wish I could be June Cleaver from "Leave It to Beaver", especially being married. Although I love flowers, pastels, and smooth jazz and play flute and harp, I also love NASCAR, monster trucks, rock music, and action scenes. That's, I guess, my masculine or non-binary side. Some days, I would want to be a boho hippie chick like Stevie Nicks from Fleetwood Mac (love her!!!) and other days I would wear a guy's T-shirt cuz I like their graphics and they're more roomy, and my favorite jacket (which I actually got from a Halloween costume store) was a bomber jacket. I see myself as a "60-70% feminine and the rest more neutral or even kinda masculine" demigirl who is comfortable with she/her pronouns, but wouldn't mind they/them if someone used them. (I also identify as graysexual and sorta bi, but that's another post!)
thank you for this video. i am someone who is very unsure of themselves and i don't feel like i can trust my mind usually. i grew up in a conservative christian household that is/was very unaccepting, so i never really explored this stuff until i was 17+. i am pansexual and i have been using she/they pronouns for a while now but never really looked deeper into it. i just recently realized i wanted people to use they/them for me more often and it made me feel warm and happy when people did use those pronouns. i also noticed when i look in the mirror and look/feel more androgenous, i enjoy it, it makes me feel good. but not androgenous in a masculine way, only in a non feminine way. it's nice not feeling like i always have to be feminine and dolled up to feel good about myself. i am still getting used to that feeling. i love presenting femininely though and i think that is what has me stuck. watching this video i still felt unsure until i got to number 5. i burst out crying and i think it is sinking in that this is something i identify with. i mean i am crying writing this. i think i am going to sit with this and tell my close friends/partner soon. thank you for this video and thank you if you read this
I am a woman, however... I don't have a desire to have kids and/or get pregnant. I don't feel comfortable in hyper feminine clothing (I hate dresses, overly feminine jewellery, heels etc) I have typically more masculine interests (manual labour, tinkering) I converse in a more masculine manner (give me dark humour and poop jokes in stead of gossip) I feel more aligned with men/more masculine women. I think women are sexually attractive. BUT I would like to be a "stay at home mom" (minus the mom part obv) and just do chores and housework all day long. (preferably with some music or a nice podcast) I do feel comfortable in some feminine clothing. (long flowy pants/jumpsuits) I do have some more feminine interests. (make-up, drawing and design) I love drama that isn't in any way connected to myself. (Reality-tv, youtube drama) I do feel like a woman, I've somewhat explored the posibility of me being transgender but it felt unnatural to me. I like my bobs and vagene, wouldn't trade them for anything. (If you need a uterus tho, I'm your gall. Buy, not rent, lol) I think gender is an obsolete social construct that doesn't serve anyone and might even have a negative impact on humanity as a whole. I have no clue if I want to identify with any label at all but if there's one I feel like demigirl might be the closest one to me. I would however like to change it to demiwoman as I am 27 years old and calling myself a girl feels like I'm infantilizing myself.
Haha, this made me chuckle! You can definitely identify however you want to, and don’t feel pressured to choose a label :) All the more power to ya 💪🏽❤️
This sounds closer to me. I am most comfortable in gender-neutral clothing (i.e. T-shirts and sweats, that kind of thing), but I have long hair cuz it curls at the bottom - especially in front - which I love! I mostly like softer things like art, music, pastel colors, and a bit of romance - even being graysexual; but I also feel loud and boisterous, love monster trucks and NASCAR, don't like to wear jewelry, makeup and high heels (and don't believe in the whole "beauty is pain" thing of plucking your brows, waxing your private parts or having a "virtuous" salad when you'd rather have fries [yuck to that whole bit!!!]), and have a casual and laid-back attitude. If I could identify with a character in a romance novel (which I really don't read), I would rather be the rakish, fun-loving guy than the stick-up-the-butt woman who acts so repressed! But I think I'm pretty neutral for the most part. But I still identify for the most part as a woman. I just call myself a demigirl, cuz that's what I feel closest to. I say go with whatever makes you most comfortable!
I’ve been using the label genderqueer but I’m starting to question if I’m a demigirl. I like being called stuff like handsome, having he/him pronouns being used on me, and dressing masculine, but I don’t know if it’s because being perceived as masculine is an ego boost for me because all my life I’ve hated womanhood and the societal expectations that comes with being a woman, or if I genuinely want to identify as a man(which, thinking about it, I kinda don’t). I don’t know if I actually want to be a boy or if I want to be a boy just to not have those problems. I have absolutely loved being perceived as androgynous, but I don’t fully identify as being nonbinary. I do think being a woman is a strong part of my identity, whether I like it or not. So maybe I’m a demigirl that uses any and all pronouns and likes dressing masculine?
Late reply but the difference is that demigirls have a weak attachment to the woman or girl label. Whereas gender nonconforming women have a much stronger attachment to womanhood without wanting to meet gendered expectations. Separating yourself from gendered stereotypes can indicate demigirl/nonbinary, but that's not always the case. There are women that hate wearing dresses, and there are nonbinary people that love wearing dresses.
I am a demigirl and demigal, I use she/they pronouns, and I feel so happy to know who I am. I was always a little happy with my gender (I was assigned female at birth) but there are times where I don't feel completely feminine or woman... simply in neutral or on top of that, questioning my gender... when I question myself I use they/them pronouns, but when I feel good I use she/her or she/they... it's hard to express it but I feel like I connect too much with that identity, I love being a demigirl and demigal 🌑🌸 🌸🌑
Thank you for adding demigenders in this! As a demigirl, we don't really get much recognition in the community, since we're kind of a small part of it.
Basically the second I found out about demigenderism I was really intrigued, but I was kinda scared to label myself as a Demigirl so I made my OC demigender, and yeah I think that was a pretty big sign for me. Still questioning but this video is super helpful!
Thank you I have been questioning my gender identity for I few years now and am unsure cuz some days I feel like a woman, but some days I don’t feel like a woman and sometimes feel like I don’t have a gender or that I feel more masculine
@@sofiaspeakman8086 I mainly lean more towards being female, but I don’t really like to show that I have feminine features. Sense I’m small build it’s already a bit hard to tell the only thing is my long hair which I’m planning on getting cut for a more gender neutral cut.
You are awesome lynn you are amazing love you as a person so proud of you haven't heard of demigirl much but i have heard of people using the pronouns she/they interesting video lynn you are a good accepting valid person
I always put she/they whenever asked about pronouns but then found that girls usually put only she/her and it made me realize that I would be very uncomfortable with having only those pronouns in use, if it makes sense, and this is what first got me thinking I might be a demigirl
I've heard of this before and I'm honestly still confused about my gender- I (afab) identify as female, _maybe_ feminine too, not fully sure there. But I don't like being called a girl or woman for some reason, which is why I might use demigender as a label but not demigirl. I have no idea what this is and if anyone knows other labels that might fit, please tell me cuz I love using labels
I'm autistic and cant really perceive gender properly, and I like dressing hyper feminine, does that mean I cant use the more gender neutral parts? I have no want to dress more androgynously but my lack of perception of gender makes me wonder if this may fit.
I feel more comfortable referring to myself with a mix of she/her and they/them so I tried using she/they for a while but when other people refer to me with they/them it feels weird and wrong but also kinda wrong with she/her or any other pronouns for that matter tbh I just don’t think I like being referred to😭✋🏻 Also if anyone knows why this happens please tell me
Currently working it out, started using a mix of she/they pronouns but feel myself floating between Demi girl and genderfluid. Anyone else struggling with this? ❤
I remember when I was questioning my identity, and all these signs were all what I felt. And this summer, when I discovered what the word “demigirl” meant, thought that it could be me, and it was!
Thanks for reaffirming hehe I've known I was a demigirl for like two years. I discovered the term and it all instantly clicked in my mind. It was all explained. Whenever I hear someone talking about women I am like "what you saying about me??" and it is _exactly_ the same when I hear about non binary people. I was so relieved to know this was a thing. My external world didn't really change, since I am comfortable with female pronouns (neutral pronouns don't really make gramatical sense in my language anyways). Most people think of me as a woman, and that's ok, but it's great being able to express my full self with people I trust, and specially with myself. For anyone who doesn't get this or think it's stupid: *the term isn't made for you,* it shouldn't affect you. It is for people whose life is a little more brighter when they finally figure out their gender. Be happy for them and move on.
I thought I was nonbinary for the longest time bc I didn't feel quite like I fit in with societal stereotypes for women. I don't really care for makeup outside of specific occasions but still like how it looks on me and recently have been a little more open to it. I tend to alternate between She/They and She/Her pronouns a lot. I like crop tops but clothing like skirts and dresses are just not for me. Several things like this and just the feeling that I like to still be considered a woman without the stereotypes and expectations that society tends to put on women. I've heard about Demigirl / Demiboy before but never looked more into it or understood it prior to now. I'm starting to think I might fit more with this label than the nonbinary one. I appreciate it
I have a question- if I go by she/her but dont mind being called they/them would I be demigirl or something else? I dont feel disconnected or anything I simply don't mind being called they/them as well as my assigned birth she/her
Not sure if I could be a Demigirl or not as I'm still new and exploring the community. I personally partially identify as a bit NB due to being Aroace and I use She/they pronouns. I'm curious to know if that make me one or not? 😅
This vibed with me SO much in an analogous way as several years back I came across the term demiguy/demiboy and felt an affinity to it. This year I finally came out as non binary, and I could find a lot of similarities with my lived experiences (but from a demiguy perspective)
Even though the definition of a demigirl definitely feels correct, I prefer just calling myself a nonbinary woman at this point. It somehow feels more affirming. I still vibe with the majority of this, though! ❤
I have a question, so i never really questioned my gender and then boom yesterday i felt really diconected from being a girl (i wore a top and i hated how my boobs were noticible and I hated when my mom called me a girl) is that normal? I mean like sudden hit that your gender doesn't suit you?
Thank you for this! This might be my label but I'm still not 100% sure since I've gotten my labels wrong in the past. I guess I'm a girl (AFAB) but at the same time if I was seen as gender neutral I might quite like that. I am pan tho so in my head gender is kinda less significant. People are just people and I'm just a person.
The past few months I’ve realized I’ve slipped between they/them and she/her. I have heard of Demi girl before but never actually considered myself as one since I didn’t know much about the term back then. I’ve used she/they for a while, if people don’t know I’m a girl they could call me they/them. But now I am starting to think it’s more than just”if you don’t know my pronouns”. I will do deep research and learn more about the term and see if it fits me well. Thanks for posting this 😁
This video has helped me so much with finding my gender identity. I have been questioning for such a long time, up until I found and learnt about the label Demigirl. And after watching this video, my confidence has boosted so much, and I think I might plan on coming out soon. I can't thank you enough for this video. You are amazing. ☺️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️👍❤️
Question to anyone who feels they can answer: would the demi-girl label include the feeling of being a woman but MORE as opposed to a woman but half? Because I identify a lot with femininity and as a woman but there’s an extra sprinkling of man and something more gender neutral in there.
AHH! This clears stuff up, ty! Question: What if you feel demigirl but instead of nonbinary you feel male? Im not quite sure if this means genderfluid because i feel feminine most of the time-- i cant tell i fthays just me being not overly feminine and just not wearing dresses and doing fem stuff ect, and im just not steriotypical or if that means i could be genderfluid, demigirl or smthn else? Idk if that makes sense, but it anyone can answer that would be spectacular :)
Wow I relate to all of these 😅 like I feel like a woman but sometimes I don’t feel like anything neither feminine or masculine I’m just me and I always wish to be perceived androgynously and I’m perfectly fine being called she but when someone call me they it feels good I think I might identify with this label

I've flirted with the idea of being both woman and non-binary off and on. At this point, I'm pretty happy with just identifying as a woman, but my demigals definitely need more acknowledgement.
They really do! Demigirls don’t get talked about enough
I understand how u feel. Ive been questioning my gender for quite some time now and the thought kept coming back that I might be either trans or non binary, but I didn't feel completely comfortable with identifying as a boy. Ive toyed with the idea and after learning more about demigirls, it's really helped me a lot. Im glad that ive found a gender identity that feels right and now im feeling better abt myself and I feel more comfortable.
I see ur PFP 😁 are you considering yourself a demigirl now?
Ur pop is so me ❤
Yoooo another bisexual demigirl
Demigirl? ❌
Demiboy? ❌
*Demigod?* ✅
Why does the Google translate it to "iron girl?" And "Half-length?" 💀
**MAUI BURST TROUGH THE DORR** ~I'm your ordinary demigod! You're welcome, you're welcome!~
LMAO🤣
it's tough to be a god
What can I say except your welcome
I hadn’t heard this term before but it really puts a lot of my feelings into more focus and perspective. Feels like when I learned about asexuality for the first time and things suddenly clicked lol.
I hope this video helped a bit!
Same!
Probably the first aspect that you should consider is a strong syndrome of delusion and narcissism

@@eduardovargas3814bruh…. Really? If you don’t have anything useful to say, then don’t say it at all.
@@eduardovargas3814ah yes I love the obj
Yes to all 5! I used to think I was cis because I have no issues w my assigned gender, yet there are also feelings like “This isn’t all there is.” Esp since there are days I feel not woman, not man, but something else
Yeah I am also struggling with this because seriously the thing is, I walk in the world with cisgender privilege and not very much dysphoria. No doubt. And that makes me, functionally anyway, a cis ally. But like all the other squishy inside NB things... Aaaaagh!
Agree
SAME!!!!
Omg same!
I am straight and I don't like the term cis. Call me straight.
At 46 this is an amazing age to find a named gender term that super matches me. Finding out there's a word for my inner self's gender, "Demiwoman" (since I am no longer a girl), really actually helps me to be more comfortable with both my woman-ness and my NB-ness. I kinda wasn't expecting that, like finding out I'm a demi-woman helps me more lovingly accept my woman self. And my shiny egg-emerging NB self. Overall I just feel more peace having found this term and switching to using two sets of pronouns (she/her, they/them.)
My 11 year old daughter has been struggling for the past year or so with how she identifies herself. Last night she told my wife and I that she now identifies as a Demigirl, so today I’ve been doing a little research so I can try to better understand her feelings. I still need to do a lot more, but this video has helped me to start!
Please do not support this.
Just try to understand but stay rational. Your kid needs a doctor help. Really.
@@moamoaoz I’ll support my daughter any way I see fit! I don’t need the close minded opinions of some random person I don’t know on the internet.
@@stevenbolstridge596 It's not about being close minded. It's about being rational and logic. But hey that's your kid! :)
@@stevenbolstridge596you should support your daughter by helping her get through her “dysphoria”. She’s 11, she shouldn’t really be feeling this way.
@@moamoaoz why?
Up to now, I’ve just been calling myself “on the feminine side of non binary” but I think I’ve finally worked myself out
Thanks! I'm not a demigirl but this helped me realize demiboy fits my gender better. I was so confused about why I sometimes hate being male but sometimes I don't, or why I felt connected to being amab to the point where sometimes I forgot about being nonbinary.
Hello!! She/They demigirl here. I've never heard of some of these signs of being a demigirl, but I just think this video just adds to the fact that I'm a demigirl. I definitely relate to pretty much all of these and I think I'm set for my gender for now. Thank you for sharing about this because it's a pretty unheard of gender identity and I love it, it may not be perfect but I think it's pretty good!!
There's no such thing😂
I am also demigirl and demigal here (she/they) 🌑🌸🤍🌸🌑.
I want to seriously thank you for making this video. I always saw the label demigirl and thought “naw, this can’t be me. I don’t always just feel partly connected to enby and womanhood in a stagnant way.” I’ve been going crazy trying to figure out who I am and what I feel inside. However, this video took the label, explained, and expanded it to the point where it really resonated with me.
What you’re describing sounds like being genderflux! :)
Im questioning this a few months ago and my toughts were like "im not nonbinary but there is smth" and "im a girl AND something" and honestly finding this was a relief. I started feeling more and more comfotable under the demigirl term.
yes, i was so confused, i like being a girl but at the same time i dont, at first i thought i was transgender or nonbinary but now i know... Thank you
Thank you for this video! I’m wondering how we can tell the difference between feeling uncomfortable with gender expectations because they are misogynistic/sexist vs being a demigirl. This is something I’ve been wrestling with for like a year lol
Same! That’s why I’ve been questioning if I’m non-binary, agender, a demigirl, etc. I think most people nowadays (hopefully) recognize that gender expectations are misogynistic, but those of us that feel like those expectations keep us from reaching our true potential might be demigirls/some form of nonbinary. For me, I feel like the expectations are stupid for all genders (why should someone be expected to/have to do this based on their gender?). If demigirl doesn’t resonate with you, you can consider the gender nonconforming label. It can be applied to cis or nonbinary people. I might be a gender nonconforming girl or a gnc demigirl. The difference is subtle, but I think there is a difference. I’m currently leaning more towards the second option, but I’m still in the questioning stage. I don’t want to be defined by being a girl/woman so I think demigirl feels more comfortable, but who knows. Anyways, I hope that helped or at least made you feel less alone! ❤️❤️
@@dreambelievehopelove2946Thank you so much!! 💜💜💜💜 your kind words definitely helped me feel less alone 🥹
Same! I might just go with gnc for now
About a year ago, I realised that I was a demigirl, though I find some aspects of my gender pretty complex so if people really push me for an explanation I generally just settle for "not male" 😆
With regard to the pronouns thing, I find that neither she/her nor they/them fully 'define' me and I don't have a strong preference one way or the other (it can get a little tiring when I only hear 1 set being used over a long period of time though)
the last one got me. i’m a masc lesbian who identified as nonbinary for a while and used he/him pronouns. it turned out that something didn’t feel right. i thought i was enby because overall i don’t really care about the concept of gender, i do get dysphoric and being called a woman sometimes makes me uncomfortable. but then again i still feel some type of connection with womenhood and i want to embrace that part of myself as well as the nonbinary one. so the moment i found out what demigirl means it all clicked and i felt just… relieved. that there’s a label out there that really fits me. thank you for this video 💜
Im still questioning my gender but demigirl is the closest I felt that fits me. I still use she/her pronouns but I'm going back and forth if I should add they/them for the people I trust (which isn't a lot). Im just not feminie. I don't like makeup and styling my hair (actually my hair is in a pixie cut for little over a year and I love it. It's so much easier to matain with thivck curly hair). I don't like wearing dresses or fasion shoes. I do like looking at dresses and I imagine myself wearing one but in reality dress feel uncomfortable for me. If I could I perfer not to wear a bra but I can't. Instead I compromise with wireless bras. I want to die everytime I'm on period. I alwayss think its unfair that you dont get choose to get your period or not like choosing to having children or not (which I do not want children. Kids make me nervous). Last but not least, I despise shaving (my legs and private part mostly). If I could i would not shave at all but my parents guilts me to do it every summer. I hate the feel of my shaved/buzzed legs and ichyness of my private part. Its also so time consuming to do since I don't shaved often. With all of that, there are days I like being a girl but there a days I don’t want to be girl (mostly when I’m my period). I also know I’m not a boy either or fully non binary. So right now my label is demigirl but to myself because I live with my parents and they don’t get the gender spectrum. If there is another term for me though, I would like to know.
I feel the same way except my hair is like three feet long because I'm emotionally attached to it. I feel ya.
So... yes to all the signs, but regarding the first one, no if this feeling of not belonging to feminine stereotypes is because I'm maybe a demigirl or because I'm a black girl. black girls do not feel like they fit into the imposed standards of femininity, as they were constructed from white women. So, I always felt disconnected in that sense, where I wanted to strive to be feminine, but I never identified myself in that aspect, because I was never seen as a delicate girl, simply because I was black. anyway, maybe...
I think I might be a Demigirl cause I don’t feel cis but I am not fully comfortable with the trans label just yet. I know that for many nonbinary people their journey started as „Demi“ and so I don’t know if I will stay with this label but for right now it feels kinda right because it’s not cis but also not fully enby. The only thing I know at this point is that I am not a man and he/him would make me uncomfortable… so I guess I will just journey on (btw. I am she/they at the moment) XD
Omg, same. I don’t feel like I’m fully a woman but idk if I’m nonbinary either, for now I’m using she/they pronouns mostly because my mother language is very gendered and I have to choose if I refer to myself as a woman or a man 🥲 Started identifying as a demigirl but I currently don’t feel very feminine or comfy in feminine clothes and I’m closer to being nonbinary. And the idea of someone looking at me and thinking “Are they a boy or a girl?” low key makes me feel euphoric so maybe I’ll start identifying as nonbinary
Yay!! So happy for this video. Thank you!
I’m a demigirl and I don’t hear my gender talked about a lot. I especially relate to signs 1 and 5.
I’m afab but have felt a disconnect from “womanhood” and femininity for a long time. I’ve also felt dysphoric about my chest and long hair and felt euphoric tucking my hair in a beanie to make it appear short. I’ve often thought being non-binary would be really cool, but the label never quite felt right. I was excited when I found out about the term demigirl. (I also like the label “genderqueer” for me.) I still just use she/her pronouns though, although they/them pronouns are lovely, and I don’t think I’d mind if people used them for me. I still present as feminine, though I would really like to present more androgynous. I’m very fond of loose, comfy hoodies.
I already know I’m a demigirl but I’m still gonna watch this for fun :]
Me: No, I'm not a demigirl.
Me in the past: I'm okay with any pronouns, I'm totally neutral. Yep. Oh, of course, except for he/him.
Me: ...
Me when I realized I do she/they.
after discovering im pan and ace, i honestly started wondering my gender identity after not feeling relatable to some womanhood stuff, not really comfortable with she/her or personally not liking the idea of some feminine things, so when i found out about the "demigirl" label, i was relieved since it fit me, so im happy for this vid, i learned more about myself, that im a demigirl :)))
In my experience my euphoria tends to fluctuate in the flavor of gender. Sometimes I'll feel euphoric shaving my legs because it feels feminine and then on other days it'll feel euphoric and neutral. Or sometimes I'll feel xenine and feminine euphoria in certain clothes. Sometimes I'll want to dress nonbinary and end up in a skirt and shirt became thats what makrs me feel the nonbinary euphoria that day 😅
That's 100% and honestly I get the same way being femme in an enby way is kinda amazing
Wow ty. I was just curious what demigirl meant and I now I’m pretty sure I am one. Thanks for making this and helping me realize I’m a demigirl!
Me connecting to all of these signs and already thinking I'm a demigirl validates me. Thank you for making this video!
I’ve been a girl at birth, I not identify as he/they but still like feminine clothing, I think I might be demigirl, thanks!
For a while now, I’ve identified as gender-fluid between Agender and Demigirl. Or, when joking “Fluid between No and Maybe”. My presentation always lands between Butch and Androgynous, so the difference is generally how uncomfortable I am with “she”.
That’s so relatable. I’ve been calling myself genderfluid because I feel either agender or slightly femme. It’s really difficult!
Thank you. I don't feel very comfortable when most people call me girl/woman, but I'm definitely female when I'm with my crush. So I don't think I can really call myself nb or agender, and that confused me for a while.
As someone who has been questioning recently and found out about the demigirl term, this fits me perfectly!
Every single signs you gave me exactly describe how I feel.
And finally realizing Im a demigirl makes me very relieved i can promise you that lol-
TYSM! I was really questioning my gender and this video helped me better understand myself. It explained what it means to be demigirl really well, it was very clear and simple, and I just loved it!
1. I question my gender
2. I like to use SHE they sometime
3. I hate jewelry and fancy feminine clothes
4. I felt the term Demi-girl comfortable🩶🤍🩷🤍🩶
Thank you so much for this video! I‘m definitely a demigirl but I hate the term. Calling myself as a grown woman „girl“ goes against any sense of my identity, especially since women are often called girls as a way of patronizing them. Also a reason why I consider myself a „demigirl“ is that I‘m not girly at all in a pink-sparkly-immature way which is directly associated with the term girl, but not the term woman. That‘s why the term doesn‘t give me any euphoria and is rather an ick, while I‘m definitely the definition of it.
Does anyone else think it‘s weird how we call adults with this gender identity girl/boy? For kids I totally understand it and I know the term demiwoman exists but it’s hardly ever used.
that's completely valid! demigender is a neutral term, so maybe that could work for you? if not, that's okay 🫡
Literally this !!! I despise being called girl in any capacity but fully relate with this identity. I’ve seen Demi-fem before which is closer but the dysphoria is very real right now for me so I’m just going with demi gender atm
Oh my gosh thank you so much, I already know for a fact that I’m demisexual and panromantic, but I always felt like I’m demigirl but I felt like I was but wasn’t. This video was just absolutely helpful because currently I’m trying to figure out where I land in the LGBTQIA+ spectrum, but I’m still not even sure if I’m demisexual and panromantic. Thanks a bunch, and new sub :)
Feeling validated! Love this!
As far as I know, I am probably a cis girl, but I really don’t know for sure. I don’t think I really relate to being a demigirl, but I don’t completely know if I identify as a girl. The only thing I relate to is the mixed pronouns thing. I’m pretty much comfortable with any pronouns except he and it. If anyone has any suggestions or anything I would love to hear them!
That demigirl flag is looking oddly tempting
I'm a demigirl! It felt good when I read the definition and resonated with it. :D
I think I might be one but im low key scared because I’m lds/mormon and also last time a came out to my mom she tried to change me by telling me being a girl is awsome 😭🙏
I've been questioning my gender for a while. While I do feel like a woman and I love being feminine there's some neutral parts to me aswell. It kind of depends on the situation I'm in or what I'm wearing. I never really liked having long hair on myself and I'm drawn to androgynous clothing occasionally. I have alot of anxiety regarding my gender identity though and it's hard to feel comfortable under any label. However I'm trying to see if time will make me more comfortable with the label demigirl.
Same! That’s why I’ve been questioning if I’m non-binary, agender, a demigirl, etc. If demigirl doesn’t resonate with you, you can consider the gender nonconforming label. It can be applied to cis or nonbinary people. I might be a gender nonconforming girl or a gnc demigirl. The difference is subtle, but I think there is a difference. I’m currently leaning more towards the second option, but I’m still in the questioning stage. I don’t want to be defined by being a girl/woman so I think demigirl feels more comfortable, but who knows. Anyways, I hope that helped or at least made you feel less alone! ❤️❤️
I used to identify as gender-neutral but I didn’t really feel comfortable. So when I found out what’s Demi-Girl is I felt comfortable in my own skin. Now I decided I am a Demi-Girl and I’m going to stick with it! I’m just gonna go bye any pronouns. Thank you for making this video!
I feel like Cisgirl isn't quite right for me... but sometimes I feel strongly feminine. And sometimes I feel a little more neutral, but I still want to be percieved as a woman. Does that really mean that I am a Demigirl, or a mix of Cisdemi?
Or doesn't that say anything at all?
I feel the same way.
honestly, i found the term a while ago (some years ago?) and didn't think much of it in relation to myself. i thought it was cool ofc but "that couldn't be me." since i've selectively come out as nonbinary, i've tried to distance myself as much as i could from femininity. this is,, most likely just a reaction to not finding validation for my gender identity since i'm afab and haven't done anything too drastic to change my appearance. coincidently, i've started questioning my gender during this pride month,, and have started to open up to the idea of possibly being a demigirl. this video helped a bit, so thank you!!
So I am a Cis hetero man and I am trying to wrap my head around this term because my oldest daughter just came out as a lesbian demigirl. I gotta say I just don't get it. Our family is full of gay and Trans people and we are totally supportive but my daughter is by far the most feminine person in the family. There is a disconnect for me that she can do EVERY stereotypical teenage girl thing (clothes, hair, makeup, music etc.) but says she is SOMETIMES non binary. I do not mean any of this in a disrespectful way but if anyone could help shed some light on this I would appreciate it. P.S. I am afraid to bring this directly to her because she is at a very vulnerable age and I don't want to come across as unsupportive
Hi there! First off, thank you for being an ally and supporting your kids! I wish all parents were that amazing! Second, being a demigirl can look different for everyone. I’m currently questioning if I’m a demigirl or a gender nonconforming girl since I think gender stereotypes are unnecessary. For me, I feel like I connect with some parts of being feminine (dressing up, wearing makeup, etc.), but not all the time or on a consistent basis. The same goes with being nonbinary. Sometimes I feel like I don’t “fit” as a girl/woman, but I don’t “fit” as nonbinary either since I like some aspects of being feminine. If it helps, the demigirl label is under the nonbinary umbrella so it makes sense for someone to be both nonbinary and a demigirl since one falls under the other. Some people use the more specific label (demigirl) while others use both. It’s up to each person to decide what they feel fits them best. I hope that helps! Feel free to ask more questions and keep being awesome! ☺️
I love how Demiboy and Demigirl are "not talked about as much" and yet at least four close people who I know are demiboy or demigirl! 🤣
Thank you so much! This really helped me discover the gender identity that felt right for me. 💖
#5 really made me smile on the inside...thanks for this list ☺️
Thank you so much for this i have been kinda lost jn this for awhile but this term and this video has given me hope to really understand my
I havent really been able to explore gender/sexuality ive been thinking for a while i might be bisexual and didnt think much about geder, i didnt really think that was an option for me, but this feels right for me i think i might be a demi girl, thank you so much for the information on this its releiving that there are people who will take the time to inform others on this type of thing
Thank you so much for this video. I have been questioning my gender and this really helped me.
Biggest sign: *you clicked on this video*
😅😅 I don't think so, I just clicked for be sure 😅
Today I was questioning my gender and this video really helped me! Thank you!
At a few days short of my 57th birthday, I have decided that Demigirl is closest to my identity. I like some aspects of womanhood and sometimes I can pretty much totally feel it. Other days, I feel more - I guess - neutral or just gender doesn't really figure, or I can feel kinda masculine. I wear my hair long (it curls at the end, and short hair makes my head look small), and there are times I would like to wear a dress or a skirt and the whole nine yards, but most of the time I dress more androgynous - being more comfortable in T-shirts and sweatpants or other casual pants - and don't really like to wear makeup (I wind up rubbing it off, anyways) or jewelry outside of my wedding ring. I don't get walking in high heels or bikini waxing or eating a small salad when you really want fries - that whole "beauty is pain" thing. I'm not really into romances (although I enjoy a good lovey-dovey scene like any other woman), preferring action most of the time, but if I was a character in a romance novel, I'd want to be the guy cuz they're more fun-loving and casual whereas the girl is totally uptight. I remember how proud I felt in high school when a couple of guys, when they heard me tell the teacher on duty that I wanted to go in and work out with the free weights instead of playing in team sports, said "She can do it, she's a stud!" And I felt so pleased, like "Yeah, I *am* a stud!!" And yet, I sorta wish I could be June Cleaver from "Leave It to Beaver", especially being married. Although I love flowers, pastels, and smooth jazz and play flute and harp, I also love NASCAR, monster trucks, rock music, and action scenes. That's, I guess, my masculine or non-binary side. Some days, I would want to be a boho hippie chick like Stevie Nicks from Fleetwood Mac (love her!!!) and other days I would wear a guy's T-shirt cuz I like their graphics and they're more roomy, and my favorite jacket (which I actually got from a Halloween costume store) was a bomber jacket. I see myself as a "60-70% feminine and the rest more neutral or even kinda masculine" demigirl who is comfortable with she/her pronouns, but wouldn't mind they/them if someone used them. (I also identify as graysexual and sorta bi, but that's another post!)
thank you for this video. i am someone who is very unsure of themselves and i don't feel like i can trust my mind usually. i grew up in a conservative christian household that is/was very unaccepting, so i never really explored this stuff until i was 17+. i am pansexual and i have been using she/they pronouns for a while now but never really looked deeper into it. i just recently realized i wanted people to use they/them for me more often and it made me feel warm and happy when people did use those pronouns. i also noticed when i look in the mirror and look/feel more androgenous, i enjoy it, it makes me feel good. but not androgenous in a masculine way, only in a non feminine way. it's nice not feeling like i always have to be feminine and dolled up to feel good about myself. i am still getting used to that feeling. i love presenting femininely though and i think that is what has me stuck. watching this video i still felt unsure until i got to number 5. i burst out crying and i think it is sinking in that this is something i identify with. i mean i am crying writing this. i think i am going to sit with this and tell my close friends/partner soon. thank you for this video and thank you if you read this
You don’t need a label, just be true to yourself
Underrated comment here, this is the truth
I am a woman, however...
I don't have a desire to have kids and/or get pregnant.
I don't feel comfortable in hyper feminine clothing (I hate dresses, overly feminine jewellery, heels etc)
I have typically more masculine interests (manual labour, tinkering)
I converse in a more masculine manner (give me dark humour and poop jokes in stead of gossip)
I feel more aligned with men/more masculine women.
I think women are sexually attractive.
BUT
I would like to be a "stay at home mom" (minus the mom part obv) and just do chores and housework all day long. (preferably with some music or a nice podcast)
I do feel comfortable in some feminine clothing. (long flowy pants/jumpsuits)
I do have some more feminine interests. (make-up, drawing and design)
I love drama that isn't in any way connected to myself. (Reality-tv, youtube drama)
I do feel like a woman, I've somewhat explored the posibility of me being transgender but it felt unnatural to me.
I like my bobs and vagene, wouldn't trade them for anything. (If you need a uterus tho, I'm your gall. Buy, not rent, lol)
I think gender is an obsolete social construct that doesn't serve anyone and might even have a negative impact on humanity as a whole.
I have no clue if I want to identify with any label at all but if there's one I feel like demigirl might be the closest one to me. I would however like to change it to demiwoman as I am 27 years old and calling myself a girl feels like I'm infantilizing myself.
Haha, this made me chuckle! You can definitely identify however you want to, and don’t feel pressured to choose a label :) All the more power to ya 💪🏽❤️
This sounds closer to me. I am most comfortable in gender-neutral clothing (i.e. T-shirts and sweats, that kind of thing), but I have long hair cuz it curls at the bottom - especially in front - which I love! I mostly like softer things like art, music, pastel colors, and a bit of romance - even being graysexual; but I also feel loud and boisterous, love monster trucks and NASCAR, don't like to wear jewelry, makeup and high heels (and don't believe in the whole "beauty is pain" thing of plucking your brows, waxing your private parts or having a "virtuous" salad when you'd rather have fries [yuck to that whole bit!!!]), and have a casual and laid-back attitude. If I could identify with a character in a romance novel (which I really don't read), I would rather be the rakish, fun-loving guy than the stick-up-the-butt woman who acts so repressed! But I think I'm pretty neutral for the most part. But I still identify for the most part as a woman. I just call myself a demigirl, cuz that's what I feel closest to. I say go with whatever makes you most comfortable!
Honestly do feel like I am a DemiGirl this realization is eye opening
I’ve been using the label genderqueer but I’m starting to question if I’m a demigirl. I like being called stuff like handsome, having he/him pronouns being used on me, and dressing masculine, but I don’t know if it’s because being perceived as masculine is an ego boost for me because all my life I’ve hated womanhood and the societal expectations that comes with being a woman, or if I genuinely want to identify as a man(which, thinking about it, I kinda don’t). I don’t know if I actually want to be a boy or if I want to be a boy just to not have those problems. I have absolutely loved being perceived as androgynous, but I don’t fully identify as being nonbinary. I do think being a woman is a strong part of my identity, whether I like it or not. So maybe I’m a demigirl that uses any and all pronouns and likes dressing masculine?
I can kinda relate...
Thanks for this wonderful video, this gives me much more insight on who I might be.
I’m not sure if I’m a Demi girl. I’ve always despised girl’s gender norms, and I love dressing boyish, but I love being a girl. Idk, can someone help?
Same 😔
Late reply but the difference is that demigirls have a weak attachment to the woman or girl label. Whereas gender nonconforming women have a much stronger attachment to womanhood without wanting to meet gendered expectations.
Separating yourself from gendered stereotypes can indicate demigirl/nonbinary, but that's not always the case. There are women that hate wearing dresses, and there are nonbinary people that love wearing dresses.
I am a demigirl and demigal, I use she/they pronouns, and I feel so happy to know who I am. I was always a little happy with my gender (I was assigned female at birth) but there are times where I don't feel completely feminine or woman... simply in neutral or on top of that, questioning my gender... when I question myself I use they/them pronouns, but when I feel good I use she/her or she/they... it's hard to express it but I feel like I connect too much with that identity, I love being a demigirl and demigal 🌑🌸 🌸🌑
Thank you for adding demigenders in this! As a demigirl, we don't really get much recognition in the community, since we're kind of a small part of it.
Basically the second I found out about demigenderism I was really intrigued, but I was kinda scared to label myself as a Demigirl so I made my OC demigender, and yeah I think that was a pretty big sign for me. Still questioning but this video is super helpful!
Thanks for this video! It helped me figure out my gender identity
Thank you I have been questioning my gender identity for I few years now and am unsure cuz some days I feel like a woman, but some days I don’t feel like a woman and sometimes feel like I don’t have a gender or that I feel more masculine
Could you be gender-fluid?
@@sofiaspeakman8086 I mainly lean more towards being female, but I don’t really like to show that I have feminine features. Sense I’m small build it’s already a bit hard to tell the only thing is my long hair which I’m planning on getting cut for a more gender neutral cut.
You are awesome lynn you are amazing love you as a person so proud of you haven't heard of demigirl much but i have heard of people using the pronouns she/they interesting video lynn you are a good accepting valid person
Thank you so much I always love your comments on videos and in stream ☺️
@@lynnsaga1397 always love your intelligent videos lynn a part of me misses you as a person thank you for your channel and existence
After watching this video everything clicked! Thank you so much
I always put she/they whenever asked about pronouns but then found that girls usually put only she/her and it made me realize that I would be very uncomfortable with having only those pronouns in use, if it makes sense, and this is what first got me thinking I might be a demigirl
I've heard of this before and I'm honestly still confused about my gender-
I (afab) identify as female, _maybe_ feminine too, not fully sure there. But I don't like being called a girl or woman for some reason, which is why I might use demigender as a label but not demigirl. I have no idea what this is and if anyone knows other labels that might fit, please tell me cuz I love using labels
I'm a demigirl and I just connect more with nonbinary with a little bit of femininity
I think this fits me perfectly I’ve done a lot of research and I think this is the label I’m most comfortable using:)
wow. I'm five for five! I think I've found my label! thank you!
So demigirl is sort of a crossover/mix between girl and enbi?
Sort of. I usually say I'm somewhere between those 2 on the gender spectrum
Could i still be a demigirl if im still comfortable being called a girl/daughter/girlfriend?
I'm autistic and cant really perceive gender properly, and I like dressing hyper feminine, does that mean I cant use the more gender neutral parts? I have no want to dress more androgynously but my lack of perception of gender makes me wonder if this may fit.
I think I'm a demigirl, I'll do more research, so THANK YOU!
I feel more comfortable referring to myself with a mix of she/her and they/them so I tried using she/they for a while but when other people refer to me with they/them it feels weird and wrong but also kinda wrong with she/her or any other pronouns for that matter tbh I just don’t think I like being referred to😭✋🏻
Also if anyone knows why this happens please tell me
Currently working it out, started using a mix of she/they pronouns but feel myself floating between Demi girl and genderfluid. Anyone else struggling with this? ❤
I remember when I was questioning my identity, and all these signs were all what I felt. And this summer, when I discovered what the word “demigirl” meant, thought that it could be me, and it was!
Thanks for reaffirming hehe I've known I was a demigirl for like two years. I discovered the term and it all instantly clicked in my mind. It was all explained. Whenever I hear someone talking about women I am like "what you saying about me??" and it is _exactly_ the same when I hear about non binary people.
I was so relieved to know this was a thing. My external world didn't really change, since I am comfortable with female pronouns (neutral pronouns don't really make gramatical sense in my language anyways). Most people think of me as a woman, and that's ok, but it's great being able to express my full self with people I trust, and specially with myself.
For anyone who doesn't get this or think it's stupid: *the term isn't made for you,* it shouldn't affect you. It is for people whose life is a little more brighter when they finally figure out their gender. Be happy for them and move on.
I thought I was nonbinary for the longest time bc I didn't feel quite like I fit in with societal stereotypes for women. I don't really care for makeup outside of specific occasions but still like how it looks on me and recently have been a little more open to it. I tend to alternate between She/They and She/Her pronouns a lot. I like crop tops but clothing like skirts and dresses are just not for me. Several things like this and just the feeling that I like to still be considered a woman without the stereotypes and expectations that society tends to put on women. I've heard about Demigirl / Demiboy before but never looked more into it or understood it prior to now. I'm starting to think I might fit more with this label than the nonbinary one. I appreciate it
I have a question- if I go by she/her but dont mind being called they/them would I be demigirl or something else? I dont feel disconnected or anything I simply don't mind being called they/them as well as my assigned birth she/her
Not sure if I could be a Demigirl or not as I'm still new and exploring the community. I personally partially identify as a bit NB due to being Aroace and I use She/they pronouns. I'm curious to know if that make me one or not? 😅
Could you do signs of demiboys
This vibed with me SO much in an analogous way as several years back I came across the term demiguy/demiboy and felt an affinity to it. This year I finally came out as non binary, and I could find a lot of similarities with my lived experiences (but from a demiguy perspective)
Even though the definition of a demigirl definitely feels correct, I prefer just calling myself a nonbinary woman at this point. It somehow feels more affirming. I still vibe with the majority of this, though! ❤
I have a question, so i never really questioned my gender and then boom yesterday i felt really diconected from being a girl (i wore a top and i hated how my boobs were noticible and I hated when my mom called me a girl) is that normal? I mean like sudden hit that your gender doesn't suit you?
Thank you for this! This might be my label but I'm still not 100% sure since I've gotten my labels wrong in the past.
I guess I'm a girl (AFAB) but at the same time if I was seen as gender neutral I might quite like that.
I am pan tho so in my head gender is kinda less significant. People are just people and I'm just a person.
Literally fighting tears because this validates me in a way I never knew I needed.
The past few months I’ve realized I’ve slipped between they/them and she/her. I have heard of Demi girl before but never actually considered myself as one since I didn’t know much about the term back then. I’ve used she/they for a while, if people don’t know I’m a girl they could call me they/them. But now I am starting to think it’s more than just”if you don’t know my pronouns”. I will do deep research and learn more about the term and see if it fits me well. Thanks for posting this 😁
OMG thank you making this video I just found out I'm a demi girl :D!
I think I could be a demigirl.
I hope the video helped!
@@lynnsaga1397 it definitely did Lynn
nice, im a demiwoman thank for this
Hello there I am questioning being demi-girl female and non-binary and thank you this helps me more than you will ever know thankyou❤
This video has helped me so much with finding my gender identity.
I have been questioning for such a long time, up until I found and learnt about the label Demigirl. And after watching this video, my confidence has boosted so much, and I think I might plan on coming out soon.
I can't thank you enough for this video. You are amazing. ☺️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️👍❤️
me when i got literally every single sign in this video
Question to anyone who feels they can answer: would the demi-girl label include the feeling of being a woman but MORE as opposed to a woman but half? Because I identify a lot with femininity and as a woman but there’s an extra sprinkling of man and something more gender neutral in there.
AHH! This clears stuff up, ty!
Question: What if you feel demigirl but instead of nonbinary you feel male?
Im not quite sure if this means genderfluid because i feel feminine most of the time-- i cant tell i fthays just me being not overly feminine and just not wearing dresses and doing fem stuff ect, and im just not steriotypical or if that means i could be genderfluid, demigirl or smthn else? Idk if that makes sense, but it anyone can answer that would be spectacular :)
This only confirms what I was thinking. . .
I'm a demi-girl >:)
im a girl but i use she/they pronouns and i feel more masculine so i feel like im a demi girl but idk
Wow I relate to all of these 😅 like I feel like a woman but sometimes I don’t feel like anything neither feminine or masculine I’m just me and I always wish to be perceived androgynously and I’m perfectly fine being called she but when someone call me they it feels good I think I might identify with this label
