'''Demiboy,''' also known as '''demiguy''', '''demiman''', '''demimale''', or '''demidude''', is a [[miaspec]] [[demigender]] [[gender identity|identity]] in which one's [[gender]] is partially male, and partially another gender(s). <br />
<br />
A subset of demiboy is [[demimasc]], which may be used by those who don't feel comfortable using a more gendered term like "boy", "dude", or "male". The [[Femininity|feminine]] equivalent of demiboy is [[demigirl]].<br />
<br />
==Common Definitions==<br />
Demiboy is a [[gender|gender identity]] that is partially male, and partially another gender(s). A example is somebody being partially male, and partially nothing or partially non-binary, also defined as a non-binary person who feels connected to masculinity.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The first known recorded instance of someone referring to themself as a demiboy was August 12<sup>th</sup>, 2010 by a user named [https://www.asexuality.org/en/profile/31912-bad-patient/ Bad Patient] on AVEN.<br />
<br />
{{Quote|...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 the 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...<ref name="Bad Patient"/>|[https://www.asexuality.org/en/profile/31912-bad-patient/ Bad Patient]}}<br />
<br />
However, they went on to say they weren't being serious.<br />
<br />
In December of that same year, a user named [https://www.asexuality.org/en/profile/28822-bristrek/ bristrek87] asked on AVEN about the term [[demigirl]]. They were looking for information on the term. The only information they had was from the Yada Wiki.<ref>[https://www.asexuality.org/en/topic/52633-transwhatevers-of-aven/page/728/?tab=comments#comment-1733093 bristrek87 thread asking about demigirl]</ref><br />
<br />
In response, the user [https://www.asexuality.org/en/profile/35070-a-long-time-ago/ Am I Human] claimed that the people who worked on the wikis for [[Demigender|demigenders]] had been coined there. But no exact dates can be found, and the definition is slightly different to the most common definition used today. The given definition is "...either someone AMAB who feels the barest association with manhood or an non-binary AFAB person who is [[transmasculine]], and feels a vague association with masculinity".<br />
<br />
"Demigirl" and "demiguy" were added to the AVEN Gender Definitions Masterlist on December 12<sup>th</sup>, 2010.<ref>[https://www.asexuality.org/en/topic/159465-gender-definitions-masterlist-forum-ettiquette-and-faq/ AVEN Gender Definitions Masterlist]</ref><br />
<br />
By October 14<sup>th</sup>, 2011, "demigirl" and "demiguy" had been added to the Genderqueer Identities & Terminology page of the popular blog [https://genderqueerid.com/gq-terms Genderqueerid].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20111014042115/http://genderqueerid.com:80/gq-terms Genderqueer Identities & Terminology page of blog Genderqueerid] </ref><br />
<br />
The blog owner, [https://marilynroxie.com/ABOUT Marilyn Roxie], had collected data for a survey of genderqueer people that year (September 15<sup>th</sup> - October 15<sup>th</sup>) and added demiboy and demigirl as options. Nine people selected "demiboy" and seven people selected "demigirl".<ref>[https://genderqueerid.com/gqhealth survey of genderqueer people collected by Marilyn Roxie]</ref><br />
<br />
This led to an increase in awareness and by early 2014 the prefix "demi-" was commonly known in relation to genders. At an some point between October 2011 and 2014 the common definition of demiboy shifted from the previously stated definition to "someone who is partially a boy." On October 2<sup>nd</sup>, 2014, [https://www.deviantart.com/cari-rez-lobo Cari-Rez-Lobo] made a symbol for demiboy.<ref name=":6">[https://www.deviantart.com/cari-rez-lobo/art/Gender-Symbols-486052086 Cari-Rez-Lobo's symbol for demiboy]</ref><br />
