'''Demifem''' or '''Demifin''' describes someone whose [[gender]] is partly [[fingender]] ([[Femininity|feminine]] in nature) and partly another [[non-binary]] [[gender]]. The other part can include anything like [[agender]], [[genderqueer]], or [[xenogender]]s to name a few. Demifems may also identify as [[demigender]], [[non-binary]] and/or [[transgender]]. Demifem is also a subset of [[demifemme]].

Unlike [[demigirl]] and demifemme, demifem falls under the [[fingender]] umbrella, and is similar to [[artemian]].

Demifem was created for those who don’t feel like they fit in the binary of [[Woman|female]], [[woman]], [[Woman|girl,]] etc. Demifem, [[demifeminine]] and demifemme share a similar name but are not the same, Unlike [[demigirl]] and demifemme, demifem falls only under the [[fingender]] umbrella. 

Demifem can be used by any [[AFAB]], [[AMAB]] or [[Intersex|AIAB]] individuals.

== History ==
The term demifem has origins in the original coining of [[demifemme]]. [[Demifemme]] was originally coined by [https://shewhowalkswiththee.tumblr.com/about shewhowalkswiththee] on October 2, 2018, on Tumblr.<ref>https://shewhowalkswiththee.tumblr.com/post/178672015279/i-think-i-made-some-alternative-flags-for-those</ref> When the term demifeminine was coined (on January 23, 2019, on Tumblr), demifem was being used as a shortened form of the term.<ref>https://genderqueer-dream.tumblr.com/post/182252467385/demimasculine-and-demifeminine-coining-new-terms</ref> It was created because some of those who related to being a [[demigirl]] felt uncomfortable with said term. Since the original coinage of those terms, they have been recoined and have updated meanings.

With the recoinage of demifemme, demifem also emerged.<ref name=":0" /> Both recoinages occuring on r/demigirl_irl on Reddit. There was a minor dispute over what term was what and what both terms were to mean. Afterwards both terms remained seperate with their own meanings.
